Marisnik approach to the plate was a little left.
Ramirez pitch was a little high.
What difference at this point does it really make.
It’s baseball.
Like I said the other day, high and tight was coming. At least is was Marisnik. Angels picked the moment, glad it was not the first pitch of the game.
One was an incidental play in the game of baseball, one came with the possibility of ending a mans life. One is suspension, and the other is manslaughter. Baseball has its limits. Wanna plunk him and send a message, cool, but aim at a guys head and your literally threatening someone's life.
This! Once again people get emotional in the moment instead of sticking with the facts! Jake Marisnick is a guy that plays the game all out, often making highlight catches that are on ESPN. He's not known as a dirty player and never has been. He took the wrong angle on the path home and was correctly called out. The suspension was also the correct call for the violation. The play at the plate has always been part of the game and many of catchers have received similar injuries in the past, which is why the rule was changed. End of story.
