Richie Sexson

What a damned joke. Should get 20 games for that bush league crap. He basically charged the mound for a ball that he would have been out on if it had hit him.

by JayK on May 8, 2008 10:48 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Sad thing is

even if he’s suspended for a number of games, he won’t be missed much.

That's more than just a normal brawl too

He didn’t get hit by a pitch and it wasn’t even close. Add onto that the size difference, the helmet throw, and Gabbard possibly re-injuring himself and the league better crack down on his ass.

You know, the funny thing about that is that they'd be doing the Mariners a favor.

Sexson sucks.

don't care about the Mariners

they suck either way. A huge suspension takes money away from Sexson. Its like a dumbass tax

I hear

there is a first baseman available if they need one for a few weeks. I think they are familiar with him. Maybe they would give up a minor league utility guy to get him.

by badradiorules on May 8, 2008 10:58 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

What's the point?

Selig will hand out some half-ass suspension, the MLBPA will successfully appeal for it to be reduced, and he’ll end up with five games off.

This is because suspensions in Major League Baseball are a joke.

Bradley was basically pushing laird back across the diamond. He was really pushing into him and looked a little annoyed. The only thing I’d say is that Bradley was trying to make sure that the catcher didn’t get tossed for someone else being a set of f’n clown shoes.

OK . . .

I’m not watching the game – just saw the replay on gameday. From the description, I didn’t realize that Sexson was that close when he threw the helmet and hit Gabbard so squarely. That could draw an unprecedented suspension, maybe 20-50 games. I’ve never seen anything like that in the majors.

Could they be any dumber? They’re defending it, they’re proud of the fact, they overreacted on “how close the pitch was to his head”, they practically fucking gloated when Gabbard had to leave the game…

They didn't come out and say it

But the tone of their voice definitely said “Well if he didn’t want to leave the game he shouldn’t have thrown at Sexson’s head” (why they are STILL going on and on about that when it was 2 feet away I will never know).

I don’t know if I’ve ever heard announcers as homer-retarded as these.

by LiamP on May 8, 2008 11:02 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

No what should cost him is simple

He charged the mound at a point in time that there was ZERO reason to charge the mound. The ball wasn’t near him. His team had hit 2 batters already in the game. I think he needs a suspension because theres no reason at all for him to charge the mound.

It doesn't matter if he is good or not

He has been struggling with the fastball command the entire game, and there is no way he is trying to throw at Sexson. Frustration aside, you need a cooler head in this situation. Sexson charged out there to hurt the guy; there is no excuse.

2 reasons:

2. I doubt Gabbard was in the frame of mind to continue pitching.

It's certainly possible.

He could have been infected with Sexson’s acute pussitis when the helmet tossing coward fell on him. Hopefully there’s some penicillin in the training room.

Per Rotoworld:

Richie Sexson was ejected from Thursday’s game for charging the mound versus the Rangers’ Kason Gabbard.
Felix Hernandez had hit two batters, so Sexson sensed it was retaliatory when Gabbard buzzed him in the fourth, even if the pitch wasn’t all that close to hitting him. He was the only player tossed as a result of the incident, though Gabbard was removed soon thereafter. Sexson, who threw his helmet at Gabbard, likely will face a four- or five-game suspension

He’d better get more than 5 games…
