How often to players get injured in these brawls? Some of you guys are ridiculous and I would never want to play a sport with you. This + complaining about Rychel jumping the Senator last night is making my head spin
There's a huge difference between complaining about Rychel actions(most didn't do) and calling Englund a total puke for being a total nobody trying to throw a hit in a preseason game and then not fighting.
I was ok with what Rychel did, he wants to prove he's willing to stand up for his teammates, but I took objection to those calling out Englund, he threw a clean hit which is fine, and isn't obligated to fight after a clean hit, also fine. You were acting as a "nobody" isn't allowed to throw a hit in a hockey game for fear on hurting a actual NHL player. Which is a ridiculous stance to take, you would have been fine with Nielsen throwing a huge hit against say Stone if he were playing. And then didn't want to fight some AHL plug who would proceed to challenge him because he just threw a clean hit.
anyway back to the actual baseball fight. I read on sportsnet that the catcher gave a big stare towards Donaldson as he called for a pitch way inside, don't have the video so not sure if it's true but I don't mind Happ doing what he did. We've been threw at far too much as is, it seems the only way to come out of the good end of it is to take it into your own hands before the warnings are in place.
Benoit got hurt jogging in from the bullpen, he could have just as easily done that any other time jogging. Travis' injury doesn't seem serious, and was mostly from the swing, otherwise he would have been out of the game immediately. Injuries rarely happen in these things so for someone to claim they shouldn't do it because they got hurt in hindsight is just as ridiculous as the things you were calling Englund last night.
