March 30th. Does Altuve wear one to the ribs first AB?

I don't see the Angel's doing anything malicious but I definitely see Oakland preparing to BBQ some small ribs in the first matchup of the season.

I’m not advocating for violence, BUT I won’t be sad if somebody just happened to lose control on a 100 mph fastball.

Multiple times.

Also, where’s chase utley when you need him

Astros gonna set an MLB record for most HBP

They've all got a long season ahead of them. Good. If MLB isnt going to police the players, then let the players do it.

Don't need to steal signs to know beanballs are incoming...

gonna be hard to hit altuve

Something tells me Bauer will get tossed in the first inning in any start against the Astros this year.

Or make a 2nd day start after tossing a full game just to plunk em.

Petition for the reds to trade Bauer to an AL West team just for this reason.

Unfortunately the reds play AL East teams this year.

Honestly in today's game, throwing at guys just isn't the "accepted" way of retaliation. So I am betting that they don't see an increase in HBP. It's too old school of a mentally for the modern player.

Yeah, Bauer will probably request a trade lol.

Might have to make due with Manaea or Clevinger.
