What I'm reading is a kid who spends most of his time around a baseball clubhouse can still score as well on standardized tests as kids who are in class all day every day?

Does the kid have five minutes a day?
Supposedly the Royals still pissed about Syndergaard's brushback. Of course they are, can't wait for the five brawls they'll start this year.
I don't understand baseball's unwritten rules at all. To me the escalation from bat flip/celebration to TRYING TO HIT SOMEONE WITH A FUCKING FASTBALL is a bit absurd. To me, the pitchers should just respond by doing their own strike out celebration, to me (or not giving up HRs). If someone intentionally tried to hit me with a fastball that is escalating a disagreement to a physical level and I'd respond by charging the mound with my bat and beating them to death, since it is physical now and that's how the world works.
That's what I'm saying... He shouldn't have left his bat. I'd like to see Nolan Ryan win that contest. Pitcher already used his weapon, now use urs.

I also don't understand charging the mound without ur bat. You mad enough to charge the mound, but not mad enough to be out for blood? Just trog posturing SMDH. Go big or GTFO.
Well this wasn't over a bat flip. Alcides Escobar was 6/9 on first pitches in the playoffs, so Syndergaard threw the first pitch of the world series at his head.
A brush back is a legitimate strategy for that reason. You have an aggressive hitter diving his body at the ball and being aggressive, throw the ball inside so he has to think twice. Maybe Syndergaard should have had it more of a brushback than a head hunting fastball, but you could argue a fastball above your head is easier to avoid that one sent at your ribs.
Anyway, Royals are just gonna Royal. Their World Series win had silenced the issue anyway, but now they'll probably start a brawl instead.
And you getting suspended for half the season will be be just as legit of a punishment to make you think twice about swinging your bat at his head.
How did Jose Offerman's assault charge pan out for him?
Someone thinking tavaris would give me an MLB.tv login
I looked this up and he pled guilty two two counts of assault and got probation. He was also sued by the catcher he hit in the head (whose career pretty much ended after the severe concussion) and had to pay $940,000.

I'm addressing the cases where it is 100% obvious that there is intent to injure (same thing goes for sliding). Just suspend anyone doing that shit for half a season and it stops being a "strategy" instantly and you don't have all the fights and bullshit.
I think everyone should be free to bat flip without having the next pitch be a fastball aimed at their dome.
