Fúrico, Nolan Arenado empujó al cátcher para hacerlo a un lado y se armó la campal contra los Mets

Ya tenemos nuestra primera (casi) BEISBRONCA de la temporada, amigos. Durante gran parte de esta serie de tres juegos entre los St. Louis Cardinals y los New York Mets, en medio de una oleada de golpes por parte de los pitchers, los ánimos se han …

Ya tenemos nuestra primera (casi) BEISBRONCA de la temporada, amigos.

Durante gran parte de esta serie de tres juegos entre los St. Louis Cardinals y los New York Mets, en medio de una oleada de golpes por parte de los pitchers, los ánimos se han ido caldeando y se ha acumulado mucha tensión. El miércoles, la tensión finalmente encontró una salida.

Los Mets se habían quejado sobre su tasa de golpes por lanzamiento (HBP) esta temporada, que es la más alta de la liga: 19 golpes a sus bateadores, casi el doble del equipo que le sigue en la lista. El martes en la noche, por segunda ocasión esta temporada, Pete Alonso un lanzamiento lo golpeó en el casco e hizo que el pitcher Chris Bassitt hiciera un llamado a la MLB por las pelotas.

Así que para la final del miércoles, los Cardinales muy probablemente estaban esperando las represalias por parte de los Mets. En general, el juego estuvo tranquilo… hasta que J.D. Davis recibió un golpe en el pie por un lanzamiento y tuvo que abandonar el juego en la octava entrada.

Traducción: Un lanzamiento le pega a J.D. Davis en el pie.
Ronnie: “¿Cómo puedes fallar así de mal en un lanzamiento de 3-2?

 

Aunque es difícil imaginarse que alguien golpearía de forma intencional a un bateador en un lanzamiento 3-2, esa bola rápida a 96 mph de Genesis Cabrera tuvo que haber dolido. Así que los Cardinals llegaron nerviosos a la segunda mitad de la entrada por las posibles represalias (porque las reglas no escritas tontas del beisbol y esas cosas). Nolan Arenado comenzó la entrada, y como jugador All-Star de la MLB, era un candidato obvio para recibir un golpe.

Solo que había un problema: el pitcher de los Mets, Yoan Lopez, realmente no le lanzó la pelota a Arenado con la intención de pegarle.

Traducción: Aquí está la secuencia completa que vació las bancas. También pueden ver a Stubby Clapp, entrenador de los Cardinals, tirando a Pete Alonso al suelo, alrededor de los 0:24 segundos.

 

El primer lanzamiento de la entrada quedó ligeramente arriba y adentro, pero no le iba a pegar a Arenado, ni siquiera si no se hubiera quitado.

A Arenado no le importó, empezó a gritarle a Lopez y la situación escaló cuando hizo a un lado bruscamente al cátcher Tomas Nido, quien intentaba tranquilizar a Arenado. Durante esta batalla campal también pudimos ver que Pete Alonso fue tacleado y derribado al suelo.

Vean esto:

Traducción: Los que leen labios no deberían batallar con lo que Arenado está diciendo.

 

Pues no, Arenado no estaba nada contento. Tras el partido, los Cardinals dijeron que se molestaron por el lanzamiento… duh.

Traducción: El mánager de los Cardinals Oli Marmol dijo que “le molestó” cómo los Mets le lanzaron arriba y adentro a Nolan Arenado.
“Cuando lanzas tan arriba y pones en riesgo la carrera y la vida de alguien, sí, claro que me molesta”.

 

Los comentarios de Arenado fueron parecidos.

Traducción: “Simplemente no me gustó en dónde puso (el lanzamiento). Me imaginé que estaba por venir.”. – Nolan Arenado

 

El conflicto principal pareció ser entre Alonso y Stubby Clapp, el entrenador de los Cardinals. Sin embargo, en su mayoría fueron empujones, gritos y jaloneos para frenarse unos a otros.

Traducción: “Soy un tipo grande y fuerte. Si yo quisiera mandar a alguien al hospital, podría hacerlo fácilmente, pero solo estaba tratando de proteger a mis chicos”.
Pete Alonso sobre el entrenador de los Cardinals Stubby Clapp derribándolo durante el incidente:

 

Arenado fue expulsado por su papel en el altercado, y los Cardinals terminaron ganando 10-5.

Los fans del beisbol tuvieron muchas cosas que decir sobre esta escena tan acalorada en St. Louis.

Así reaccionó Twitter:

Traducción 1: Eso más bien fue “arriba”.
Traducción 2: Los Mets lanzan arriba y adentro para Nolan Arenado y se vaciaron las bancas.

 

Traducción: Aquí no hay nada que ver, solo unos cuantos tipos platicando.
Traducción 2: Los Mets lanzan arriba y adentro para Nolan Arenado y se vaciaron las bancas.

 

Traducción: ¿Esto quedó más cerca de ser un strike que de golpearlo?
Traducción 2: Los Mets lanzan arriba y adentro para Nolan Arenado y se vaciaron las bancas.

 

Por donde lo veamos, todo mal.

Buck Showalter might have a point on MLB pitchers needing help with grip after Francisco Lindor was hit by a pitch

Baseball is going to have to do something about pitching grip.

Tensions were clearly just flaring everywhere on Friday night. First, you had a fight in NASCAR. Then you’ve got benches clearing in baseball? What a night, man.

Things got a little out of hand during the Nationals and Mets game on Friday night. Nationals’ pitcher Steve Cishek accidentally beaned Francisco Lindor with a pitch that looked pretty dangerous.

The pitch hit him in the face and ended up chipping his tooth. If it weren’t for the c-flap on his helmet things could’ve ended up a lot worse. Through it all, though, Lindor maintained his composure. That was even after both benches completely cleared and ejections were handed out.

Lindor left the game, but he didn’t have any major injuries and passed concussion protocols. Cishek was ejected from the game after said he escalated things by leaving the mound.

All in all, everyone is OK and there are no actual hard feelings here, believe it or not. Mets manager Buck Showalter doesn’t even blame Cishek.

This is just part of a bigger trend around baseball that seems to be an issue.

Shohei Ohtani just showed off an amazing Jabob deGrom impression and MLB fans loved it

Imitation is the best form of flattery, isn’t it?

Shohei Ohtani can absolutely do anything on the baseball field. That’s why he’s the best player in the game, of course, and the reigning AL MVP.

But he’s also pretty good at things off the diamond, too. And one of those things seems to be impressions. Because he put on an absolutely fantastic impression of NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom as he warmed up during a bullpen session.

Cameras caught Ohtahni doing his deGrom’s signature glove to the face look before tossing an absolute burner. He also got in deGrom’s signature leg kick, too.

Ohtani is clearly someone who appreciates details and we love to see it.

If imitation is the best form of flattery, deGrom should be absolutely thrilled. MLB fans loved this, too. ESPECIALLY the deGrom fans out there.

Los jugadores de los Mets y Yankees que no estén vacunados no podrán jugar en casa

La oficina del alcalde de New York confirmó hoy a USA TODAY Sports que los jugadores de los Yankees y de los Mets están sujetos al mandato de vacunas de los empleadores privados de la ciudad, es decir, que los Yankees y los Mets que no estén …

La oficina del alcalde de New York confirmó hoy a USA TODAY Sports que los jugadores de los Yankees y de los Mets están sujetos al mandato de vacunas de los empleadores privados de la ciudad, es decir, que los Yankees y los Mets que no estén vacunados no podrán jugar los partidos como locales.

El martes, la estrella de los Yankees Aaron Judge se sacudió la pregunta sobre las vacunas durante el entrenamiento de primavera en Florida.

Judge le dijo a los reporteros, “Estoy muy enfocado en llegar al primer juego del entrenamiento de primavera, así que creo que enfrentaremos ese tema cuando llegue el momento. Justo ahora pueden pasar tantas cosas así que ahora no estoy realmente preocupado por eso.”.

Más específicamente, la estrella de los Brooklyn Nets Kyrie Irving, quien no está vacunado, no ha podido jugar los juegos en casa en el Barclays Center de Brooklyn ni en los juegos como visitante en el Madison Square Garden de los New York Knicks.

El lunes, la NBA multó a los Nets con $50,000 por “violar la ley local de la ciudad de New York y los protocolos de salud y seguridad de la liga” cuando “le permitieron a Kyrie Irving, quien asistió al juego, entrar a los vestidores del equipo”, según dijo la liga.

La política fue criticada porque sí permite jugar en la ciudad de New York a los oponentes que no se han vacunado, la estrella de los Nets Kevin Durant lanzó un llamado al alcalde de New York Eric Adams después de la victoria del domingo de Brooklyn contra New York.

Durant le dijo a los reporteros, “Ya hay personas sin vacunar en el edificio. Tenemos a una persona que puede entrar al edificio. ¿Temen por nuestra seguridad? No lo entiendo. Todos estamos confundidos. Casi todos en el mundo están confundidos a estas alturas. A principios de la temporada la gente no entendía qué estaba pasando, pero ahora ya esto se ve como algo tonto. Así que, Eric, ojalá puedas resolver esto.”.

Pero el lunes, Durant le dio la vuelta a sus comentarios con una declaración: “Los últimos dos años han sido difíciles para los neoyorquinos, también ha sido muy confuso con todos los cambios en las reglas y mandatos. Aprecio la tarea que el alcalde tiene frente a él con todo lo que la ciudad ha vivido. Mi frustración con la situación no cambia el hecho de que siempre estaré comprometido a ayudar a las comunidades y a las ciudades en las que vivo y en las que juego.”.

Adams ha alabado el mandato, diciendo que ha ayudado a reducir las tasas de COVID en la ciudad, y no parece que la presión pública lo convencerá de dejar la política.

Aún hay esperanzas para que la organización de los Nets abandone la política para cuando empiece la postemporada de la NBA, dentro de un mes, que coincide con el arranque de la temporada regular de la MLB.
