The article discusses the ongoing debate around retaliation pitches in baseball, particularly following an incident involving the San Francisco Giants and Houston Astros. After Giants player Wilmer Flores hit a home run, tensions escalated when he was nearly hit by a pitch. The article reflects on the dangers of intentionally hitting players and questions the rationale behind such actions despite tradition and pride in the sport. The author suggests these practices should be reconsidered to ensure player safety and promote a healthier game environment.
Unfortunately, that means that they don't always get to include the most timely information.
It seems to me that retaliation pitches are not only unnecessary but also extremely dangerous in a game where precision is always a challenge.
Intentionally throwing a baseball at someone can lead to serious injury and does not promote the spirit of the game.
While some believe retaliation is part of baseball's tradition, I argue that it compromises player safety.
