Ceetar Grand Central Contributor Posted October 5, 2016 Author Posted October 5, 2016 Zach Britton is an extreme GB pitcherLooking it up: 254 batters faced this seasonKs = 74BB = 18Ground Balls = 128Fly Balls = 11Line Drives = 21HR = 1Sac Fly = 0BAA .162this kinda understates the GB thing. 161 balls put in play, 128 of them were on the ground. And when the GW HR was hit there was one out w/runners on 1st & 3rd
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 Geez. Give Britton a few minutes to warm with an unitentional-then-intentional walk and go after Bautista again. Crazy.

Even with Rose in '73, as horrible as that was, Pete wasn't in the process of fielding a fly ball when the bottle skimmed past him. People are fuckin nuts.And they never caught the guy. Today the authorities are asking the person to turn him/her self in. So no one in that entire section felt that this action drastically crossed the line of acceptable behavior? I would have had the entire section escorted out.
