Donnie Dip shite is as terrible of a manager as is a person. It takes a lot for me to wish injury on someone, but if benches clear the next time those goons throw at Ronald, and there will be a next time, I will be extremely disappointed if someone doesn't get a clean shot in on Mattingly.

Amen

(1) I don't think Lopez was throwing at Ronald and don't think he should have been ejected.

(2) However.......every one of these 1st inning pitches that hits Ronald hits him up at his face or in his shoulder blades. The "we gotta throw inside" bullshite is a joke. Those aren't little misses on pitches for strikes inside. They are intended to be way in. Hit him? I dunno, but they aren't misses on balls trying to hit the black.

(3) Snit handled it perfectly. He came out and said what all of us were thinking - enough of this shite. He just vented about it and Mattingly can suck a fat dick if he has a problem with that. He's sick and fvckin tired of seeing his kid get hit up around his neck and head by the same damn team over and over again.

(4) Mattingly's post-game press conference was fvckin embarrassing. "Soroka threw at O'Brien on purpose and broke his ribs" was proven to both be a joke (the replay makes it clear it wasn't on purpose both on pitch, placement, time of game, players involved, score, etc) and completely untrue within about 90 seconds of him saying it (O'Brien didn't break his ribs, played like 7 more games before going on the IL AND signed with the BRAVES in the offseason he was so mad at them).


If they'd stop hitting Ronald with 1st pitches up at his upper back/lower neck then this wouldn't be a problem anymore. They made this bed with all the Urena bullshite which Mattingly CLEARLY had no issue with, now they can fvckin lie in it. shite, after a playoff game last year Alcantara said he would fight Acuna (after he gave up a jack to him and then HIT HIM).
