Jason Johnson in 2000?
Scott Kamieniecki in 1998?
Sidney Ponson's entire existence?
The entire 2008-2009 team?
etc.
And that's just over the past 20 years.

Tim McCarver: Look at this play!
Diaz proceeds to throw away ball and Moreland goes to second
edit: Matheny is dumb for not pinch hitting Leake in the first place. Never learns!

Jace Peterson trying to start shit lol
I think in terms of cost, opportunity given, and consistent awfulness, he probably tops them all.
......more like the guy who's flipping his bat and admiring a home run while being down 5 runs is trying to start shit.

i think the 7 HBPs this series and then Pillar getting pissed about something, maybe the quick pitch that motte did on him. anyway, seems like another small incident might set these two teams off.
It doesn't really matter ultimately, just makes Bautista look like more of an ass at the end of the day. ¯\_(ツ
_/¯ Just contesting your original point that Jace Peterson was the one who was starting shitPROh1bited

Yeah the hbps is bullshit, and retaliation deserved to happen. And I dunno what Pillar was going on about. A couple of his own teammates quick pitch.

For 16 million a year, he's up there with Ryan Howard in garbage/money ratio.

I don't know... Ponson had fairly close numbers over his times with the Orioles, and cost them far more - in terms of money (as a ratio of payroll) and opportunity given.
Repressed memories and all that.

For a minute there, I was like "Tuffy Rhodes is back?"
Not cool
Fuck Pillar. Another idiot that thinks the "heat of the moment [of getting struck out]" makes it okay to scream faggot at someone.
Oh, but he'll go up to the dude after the game so he can say sorry for calling a straight dude a faggot. That totally makes it okay.
Fuck him.

Two hits that were 70mph off the bat result in a run for Boston, we hit a 100+ mph line drive and it's caught and ends up a double play

Bat flips are fine, being a raging a-hole isn't. Joey is just such a douche all the time. Loved O'Flaherty's take though.
The braves were upset from 7 hbp in 3 games. The last to freeman, their best player and a mvp candidate. Could be out awhile, awaiting further tests today. If bad news comes, there might be a fight today.
The bat flip and Pillar being an idiot were just icing on the cake.
And its never a good idea to bat flip and stare at the pitcher after the benches cleared the inning before.
Pillar said it was a mistake and Bautista seemed to motion that it was his bad when he talked to suzuki at the plate so l maybe calmer heads will prevail.
Basically, braves are upset by hbps. Blue jays frustrated by being destroyed by the braves the first 3 games. Frustration leads to stupid shit like pillar.
It'll be so exciting to get another high school pitcher I won't see for a minimum of four years if he has pans out in the minors.

Oh god Pillar. Please no. You were doing all the right things too.
I thought the Jays would take three out of four going into this Atlanta series but all they've done is make a complete ass of themselves. Such a disappointing series. Especially coming off the highs of sweeping Seattle.

The braves can beat up on bad teams
Good teams, they get their ass kicked.CosmicQueso
