Yeah, never before has a MLB player been intentionally hit by a pitch and everybody in the ball park knew it was coming.
I never thought ARod or any one player coming off the DL would make or break the Yankees. The only effect I've seen the past couple weeks is actually more like a mental placebo, giving the players in the lineup confidence to actually hit with RISP.
I'm happy to wait and see what happens regarding the appeal.
I'm not happy to see fans cheering a hit batter.
I suppose if he got in in just the right place in the head, and dropped down dead on the ground, there would be wild celebrations in Boston.
That is ONE NASTY TOWN.
I agree that’s uncalled for. In fact I would be wondering if the MLB can sanction umpires.
A-Rod deserves every HBP he gets from every pitcher he faces....
His career will soon be over and any MLB records he holds will be tarnished with the infamous "asterisk".
Not condoning it, but it won't be the last time, and prolly not just in Boston.
ARod HBP? Kewl. Every time he comes up is good by me.
Looked accidental to me
You “could care less”? Not I.
Went to a Red Sox game in 190. I was on a tour of classic ball parks with a buddy of mine. We were sitting in right field. I was wearing my Braves hat. Two drunk females sitting behind us were cursing us and harassing us for eight innings. The cops finally tossed them before the ninth. In Atlanta they would have been tossed in the 2nd. That was my impression of Boston fans.

I got no problem cheering it, he’s an overpriced jerk, but given how crappy he’s playing I do question the strategy.
liberal city. liberal team. liberal player.
my care levels are zer0
when it acts like a man, it will get treated like a man. And I guess will just have to try out your cute lil hypothesis to see if it’s reality or hyperbole.
The Bronx isn’t exactly etiquette school either.
A-Rod deserves to get hit by a pitch for dating Madonna, never mind what else he did.
Let me let you in on a non-secret. MLB pitchers have always thrown at MLB batters. It is called baseball.
Pure evil. Yup. Word is it’s all they’re talking about in Eygpt.
You a Yankees fan? Your from NJ so I would not be surprised.
Bleh, A-Fraud has it coming. Fans were cheering when Dale Earnhardt crashed in the 2001 Daytona 500. When you are a lightening rod, you are going to alienate a lot of people.

Just Outrageous! In the entire history of the Baltimore Orioles/NY Highlanders/NY Yankee baseball franchise, no opponents batter was ever intentionally HBP.
