School's out. What did you expect?
Leake said "bring it" to Harrison too, umps were right to step in
Not right to throw Hurdle out tho
Harrison, just put your bat down and accept the OBP increase. That was not intentional, and you are not a premier player.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Why not, he probably cursed out the umpire.Originally Posted by OldXOhio
Pirates are reacting too emotionally over every HBP.
It's part of the game, nobody is hurt, McCutchen is still playing, Harrison isn't hurt, Leake couldn't break a pane of glass.
If they want to avoid warnings and ejections they should just stop acting out every time somebody gets hit with a pitch.
I think to an extent Hurdle realized once he was warned that he was not long for the game (seeing as an inside pitch by his team would now result in his ejection). I think he just wanted to prove a point.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Exactly. The warning game down because Harrison flipped his bat and stared down Leake, and Leake essentially responded in kind. Walk to first as the tying run like an adult.
So if the Pirates hit a Reds batter intentionally, does the acting manager get tossed?

Well, they had enough inspiration before the Harrison HBP. Mike didn't want to hit him, for sure, but now it's on.

Unless it's obviously unintentional, yes the pitcher and acting manager goes.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
So Hurdle's argument was basically, "You didn't give us a chance to throw at a guy!"
Leake grounds out to short.
2-1 Reds after 2.
