Not just Marichal, you can compare Offerman to the Devil Ray’s hotshot (was that Delmon Young?) who flipped a bat at the ump a few years back. I think that Young should have been given Soup Nazi status: come back one year. Offerman should be banned from that league. Its more or less one step above semi-pro, and in any case I think he just ruined any chance of coming back up to the bigs.
DonS, re: the pitchers-ol’ Zambrano gets PH roles once or twice a year, and not just to bunt. Another oddity AFAIK (but being an AL guy, I can’t really comment too much on that).
I could insert some black humor about the Sox and the opportunity to throw out the first ball in their September games(hey, you in the third row: wanna throw out the first ball?) but I won’t.
I disagree. Delmon Young != Juan Marichal incident.
It’s one thing to hit someone on the head with a baseball bat and something totally different to throw the bat in the direction of the ump and hit him.
Delmon’s bat DID come at the ump pretty fast though. Here is the video.
Maybe i’m picking nits.
