Votto was listening to the telecast? Wait, what lol
Chapman is a clown and he's lucky he doesn't have to bat. He did the same thing last year with Cutch. If that was one of our guys he was throwing at the board would've melted down. There's no place for that in the game, and one of these days he's going to throw at the wrong dude and pay a price for it.
I can't defend Chapman for what he did to Swisher. Not only was it stupidly dangerous (he could kill someone doing something like that), but it's also going to lead to Votto or Phillips getting nailed tomorrow (probably Votto).
You're correct, you don't throw a purpose pitch at a guy's head. But Chapman doesn't care. The guy's attitude sucks. He's immature, unpredictable, and is a general pain in the ass to deal with. I don't condone those actions from other teams, and I'm not going to stick up for him. He's a fool and he's going to get somebody seriously hurt, or get one of our guys hurt.
I bet Reds Live gets better ratings now
Standing in the box against Chapman is scary enough. A ball right at my head, I would just give up at that point. Swisher put some good wood on that next pitch, pretty tough dude.
I don't like it when pitchers throw at a guy. Yet if you stand at the plate staring a guy down, you just might catch one in the ear.
