Yankees, Rays drama in 6th inning

[@snappy452]

Half of the Yankees roster look like professional wrestlers. It is a really bad idea to pick a fight with them.

[@Grimmes12]

Just ask the Red Sox who got pushed back to their dugout earlier in the year

[@sylvialuevano7461]

Just ask Sanchez... I miss Tyler Austin

[@tombirner]

@@Grimmes12 You mean after Joe Kelly punched Austin in the head multiple times? Never in the history of baseball has a fight been determined won/lost by which dugout it ends up closer to -- until Yankees fans in 2018.

[@dehavillandcanadatwinotter9621]

Don't glorify throwing at batters intentionally

[@JLangley17]

I don't feel CC's first pitch was intentional by any means. However, the way the Rays responded was childish, especially at the head. CC's retaliation was completely justified.

[@Jayknightfr]

Nope. Dumb on both sides.

[@Kevin-eg1ko]

yup. you throw at knee to hip in retaliation, not the head. cc knows

[@jesuschrist7010]

[@benjaminlaragan8889]

If the Rays just retaliated properly and not throw dangerously close to Romine's head then Sabathia wouldn't hit someone and Yankees would had let it go even though they didn't the Rays on purpose.

[@Shinobi33]

CC was just sticking up for his teammates. It sucks he's gonna lose that 💰. The Yankees should give him the 500k under the table.

[@streamlinedengine]

CC hitting Bauer's wrist was pure accident, you can tell it wasn't meant to hit, just a really stray inside high ball. Kittredge's pitch to Romine was too deliberate to miss, right in his shoulder, and if Romine didn't dodge it would have got him in the head. See? The Rays aren't "retaliating", they're starting the battle, in a very dangerous and harmful way to the batter (Romine), mind you. And what CC does is called humane taster: Romine was aimed in the head, but CC? Drills one to the legs, the intent and consideration between him and Kittredge are as different as chalk and cheese: while CC is backing up him team, Kittredge was being plain stupid.

[@boshk4054]

thing is, CC didnt hit bauer. bauer threw his hands into the pitch.

[@AlltelJohnny12]

boshk exactly, his hands were practically over the plate.

[@Weeblewobb]

Well said

[@jasond1429]

Kiermaier did get his foot broken by a pitch the game before. Shouldn’t have thrown at the guys head but c’mon it’s Andrew kitteredge he’s literally one of the wildest pitcher in the league

[@matttrause6834]

There was nothing wild about that pitch, completely intentional

[@julioclopez2041]

2:38 rays’ bench 11-0 Why? Yeah 7-0 throwing at someone’s head Why???

[@rla1000]

Tampa Bay did themselves no favors on any of this. First off, Sabathia didn't throw at Bauers, Bauers swung into the pitch. If Bauers had just stood still in the batters box, he would not have had to move an inch to avoid CC's pitch.Kittredge is the real dolt (and major a**hole). First off, if Kittredge had half a brain, which he doesn't, he would realize Bauers swung into the pitch, but Kittredge is too stupid to know that. Then he fire a fastball at Austin Romine's head. ZERO respect for Kittredge. He's a loser. Then Cash gives some blathering response in the press conference after the game. Rays lowered themselves this day.All in all, Kittredge should be thankful for the AL DH. Otherwise, Kittredge would have gotten what he deserved. Instead, Kittredge hurt his own teammate.

More players should learn from him. The head is off limits. If you want to send a message, you do it in the lower back, the ass, the leg. Areas that aren't dangerous or will cause an injury.
