OT: Placement of Rizzo Beaning this Evening

I think this franchise is completely gutless and they will do nothing. Why they didn't yesterday is beyond me
I've watched the replay several times, and I can't see how the play was anything but dirty.
Sure, 10-15 years ago, this kind of play was accepted, but not today. And yeah, I'll say it: if the situation was reversed, and it was a Pirate player sliding into the Cubs' catcher in the same manner, there would be a huge suspension for the Pirate, and he would be castigated on every talk program outside of Pittsburgh.

Eff him. I hope they bean him right in the head and his pops off, blood spouts out and he dies. If he dies, he dies.
TOO LATE. Rizzo should have taken the very next pitch he faced in the ribs. How these umpires and the ones in the booth could have said that was not basic interference is beyond me. Screw the Posey rule. Rizzo violated the interference rule that has been on the books for a hundred years. And it was a cheap shot to boot. And while I am at it, f**k Joe Madden too. He’s an arrogant ass.
Yup. Hurdle is a wimp and his players reflect it. Thus it was open season on Cutch. Nothing will happen.
Hurdle is a C, no doubt about it. I give it a 5% chance he calls for a retaliatory pitch.
Those guys could be the baseball version of Willie Daniel. Daniel, a defensive back for the 1960s Steelers, was about the sorriest excuse for a pro football player you ever saw . . . when he was a Steeler. Upon being traded to the Rams, . . . he promptly became an All-Pro.
Hurdle did exactly what I thought he would do when one of his players is targeted for injury, NOTHING.
Nah, tonight is the last game of this series so Rizzo should be getting a fastball to the ribs in one of the middle innings. No need for two games of bean balls with one of MLB's prized teams, put one in his ribs tonight get the warnings from the umps then when the Cubs retaliate their pitcher and Maddon get tossed.
I'm confused.
Diaz played last night. Why should they retaliate for something just about all of them would have done in the same situation?
