Compare that to Delmon Young, who was hit three times in the first two games of the Tigers-White Sox series. He didn't incite a ruckus. Choo should follow his example.<br /><br />Also, yes it is true that other teams have fights and benches-clearing episodes.

Seems to me pitchers are trying to hit him this year , so I don't blame him for saying something. The umpires aren't protecting him so his team will. And as for Hannahan the first time he went to Sanchez was to get him away from Choo, Samchez even admitted it after the game. Getting hit is part of the game but so is protecting your team. You hit my guy I hit yours it's just baseball. And every team has fights and the benches clear it's not just the Indians .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-13621421512988407982012-04-15T01:21:06.011-07:002012-04-15T01:21:06.011-07:00Interesting fact.

At any rate, it is nice to see some significant action on the umpiring front.

The next day, Mitch Talbot got tossed after another Yankee got hit. Remember, the Yankees had had several batters hit around that time span.<br /><br />Also last year, Carlos Carrasco got ejected for throwing a pitch over Billy Butler's head. Interestingly enough, on the Royals feed from this game, you can see John Hirschbeck sternly shooing Jack Hannahan away from the scene. In this case, the umpiring crew did a commendable job of keeping things calm.<br /><br />Earlier this year, Choo caused the benches to empty by walking out towards the mound after being hit. Choo once again played a role in aggravating things today.<br /><br />So yeah, I would say it's not just you. The Indians have been involved in several of these things lately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-17748750781250137182012-04-14T18:54:14.591-07:002012-04-14T18:54:14.591-07:00Is it just me, or are the Indians always involved ...Is it just me, or are the Indians always involved in bench clearing incidents?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
