OK little man, I give you the first HBP, the second was a 78 MPH curveball. I coached little league kids that threw that hard.

@byrdman-10 You see this?
So did you not play sports growing up? I got under the skin of many I played to see what they were made of, if my actions bothered them winning was even easier.

The punishment is simple. dissolve both teams, and put every good player on the Phillies
That was funny...

I get the frustration about being hit multiple times and being mad, but as a professional you have to control your emotions.
Do you consider the Astros a professional organization given the past few years?
If they were the only ones doing it, no. Red Sox did it, Yankees did it and got swept under the rug and who know who else. Sign stealing, steroids, PED's are all forms of cheating. Cheating has been around baseball since it begin, it's not right but being naive that the Astros are so bad and the only ones is totally off base.

I did. I just wasn't dumb enough to be rude to someone about their mom. Or anyone. This game is meant to be fun. I don't blame Laureano one bit. The coach was being rude. He was hit 3 TIMES! He had a right to be mad. Notice that he wasn't going to come after him until the coach egged him on. Shameful, like the rest of the Astros. Oh, also, this is kinda funny. https://twitter.com/FloBos_Theory/status/1292592224216260608

Those guys are playing to win and get paid, and if you can't handle some trash talk maybe you should be in another profession.

In case you didn't know, baseball isn't my profession. It would be nice though.....

As a professional? The Astros were banging on trash cans to cheat their way to a title like they were the villains in a made for TV coming of age sports movie.
I understand the point you're trying to make about keeping your cool, but calling out another team for being unprofessional after what the Astros got caught doing is absurd.
Astros were dead wrong for cheating, but throwing at batters heads (Kelly) and rushing the dugout (Ramon) are wrong as well.
check the link i sent, if you can click on one. And, were the astros not throwing at ramon's head? thats part of why everything happened.
Not to mention that the Astros in the dugout are wrong for EGGING Laureano on in the very first place. Laureano didn't want to fight, but the Astros egged him on and made derogatory marks about his family. And Laureano is well within his right to be furious about that.
The Astros got a slap on the wrist—Shoeless Joe is probably rolling in his grave.

New MLB guidelines state " before throwing a punch everyone must stop, check everyones temperature, and put on a mask"
A's and Astros are out there acting like its not 2020.
Seriously though both teams need to be punished, this can't be allowed to happen.

No where did I say that the Astros are the only ones that did it. Thanks for answering my question though.

I think the best part of this was seeing how much of a little B that Astros coach is hahahaha dude legit motions laurano to come at him, laurano did, the guy backs up gets scared, two guys jump in front to block laurano, then the coach half puts up hands, basically out of being scared, laurano gets tackled and the coach backs up away from the scuffle. Like dude may be the ultimate little B, motions for a fight and when he gets it he proceeds to be a coward. This dudes gonna get mocked by every team and every fan once their allowed back in. I think that’s the biggest take away in all this

Yup he turtled. Honestly though if a coach in hockey (NHL) does this it's a instant suspension/fine.

Ya cause in hockey the coach actually wants to fight lol Just focusing on the Astros coach is a good laugh, backs up with all that then steps forward after Laurano is stopped then backs up again when more A’s players show up. Ultimate fake tough guy moment haha
