Lance Lynn, oh so brave

Lance Lynn, who knows he never has to worry about being thrown at because as a pitcher he never comes to bat, says he would have thrown at Judge for looking over.  How brave of him.  I wonder if there is even anybody on the White Sox worth throwing at.


Had the Jays thrown at Judge it could have gotten very ugly.  No shortage of tempting targets for retaliation on the Jays, Vlad Jr, Bichette, for example.  Fortunately it never got to that point.



Hopefully the Yankees light him up with Judge hitting a HR when they meet.

If the Yankess were stealing signs with electronic, optical or mechanical wizardry I'd be displeased with the cheating but if the bench is smart enough to recognize a hurler tipping his pitches they have every right to let the batter know.


Yeah, the next time these teams meet I hope Judge knock a Lynn pitch into tomorrow. That will shut him up.

I think it's possible even probable the Yanks were stealing signs the old fashioned way but doubt electronics were being used. Consequences of getting caught are too high.

   Nobody has to cheat to hit Lance Lynne.

Yup.  He of the -0.4 WAR, 6.66 ERA and 1.519 WHIP.  So glad he is pitching for the WS not the Yankees.

Years ago when teams were (legally) pitchers would still stick one on your ribs if it was benefiting the hitters. I don't have a big problem with what Lynn said. Hope Judge takes him deep next time he faces him.

Gibson and Drysdale were 2 of the biggest that would deck a guy. It would be interesting to see how they would have reacted in today's game. Not only with the sign stealing but also the showing off batters do.

Suspensions. Sorry, but the old ways are gone. 


Thank God.
