I highly, highly doubt that was intentional. Highly.

Yeah, Melancon threw two pitches around Pedroia’s head in that one PA – yet, he showed no other wildness in the inning. In fact, against the next batter he faced, he was painting strikes on the outside corner.
With all due respect, any Yankees fan who thinks that HBP was not intentional needs to look at it again without their Yankees Blinders on, IMHO.
Of course, you’re mileage may vary – and you do have a right to have your own opinion on this one…
Intentional or not, Pedroia’s a freakin’ crybaby. Just take your base you bald little turd. Nice follow-up to your MVP season, you idiotic joke of a midget.
He walked the first guy he faced. I’m sorry, but it has reached the point where every pitch inside by a Yankee is called intentional.
Melancon threw 28 pitches: 16 strikes, 12 balls. Not exactly Greg Maddux up there.

Hitters umpire behind the plate tonight. Paul O’Neill made mention of that during the game several times. The ump was only calling strikes if the entire ball was over the plate.
I would say that I doubt he threw intentionally at him- but you never know with a rookie out there trying to prove his worth.
So what? He wasn’t throwing strikes, bottom line. And riddle me this: why wait to the 7th pitch of an at-bat to hit someone? Why take all those pitches out of your arm? It just does not add up.
Its almost like Tiny Tim was trying to incense his teammates in the dugout by throwing a hissy fit. This just furthered his D-bag status.

On top of that, why not drill him with the first pitch?
Anyway, the only reason people are making a big deal of this is because of the teams involved.
If it was intentional, well, then I wish more players would go Jose Offerman, or Prince Fielder…
Oh yea? Really?Wasnt Penny’s pitch for Bay getting hit by who else? Jaba the drunk. Melancon and Girardi are dipshits. you can take that to the bank.
Its been taken to the bank…but returned due to lack of funds.
Hey Steve,
What reason could the Yankees have to throw over Longoria’s head? Was it because Pedro? Wait a minute. Pedro never pitched for the Rays.

Maybe Joba studied how to be a punk-ass pitcher at the knee of Pedro? I dunno…it’s possible.

Clemens?
Are we just throwing out pitchers names who have ever thrown at a batter? Ok, i’m game..Beckett, Padilla, Mota…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Melancon, either in that at bat or the one right after, throw a pitch that bounced in the grass, not even the dirt. I’m sure Pedroia was annoyed because his shoulder was stinging, but Melancon did not have pinpoint control last night. I didn’t see it as intentional.
That being said…with Red-Ass Beckett on the mound tonight, I’m sure the benches will be warned by the third inning.

Probably right. As the man once said, “They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue!”
Steve,
for your information yankee pitching hit 10 Red Sox batters while the Red Sox hit 3 in 9 games. If I’m the Red Sox I wouldnt hit any Yankee until the last game of the season. In the top of the 9 one of Bard’s 100 MPH should land on somebody’s hand or knees. Then you can talk about some revenge since you can thank your moron manager for headhunting people and teach him a lesson not to throw at anybody’s head ever again. IMO

No, I’m just saying if Joba learned to be a “punk-ass pitcher” it would probably would’ve been at the knee of Clemens, not Pedro.

and you have inside info that says Girardi ordered him to do that?

Relax. Do you remember when Pedro used to headhunt the Yanks all the time? It’s not like Boston is a bunch of innocents…after all, you have Josh Beckett on your team and he’s every bit a headhunter that you’re alleging some Yanks are.
@ Raf:
I misunderstood..I gotcha now

Uh oh, somebody seems a little pissy after a tough loss last night
@ YankCrank:
Pedroia?

Haha yeah, him too.
@ Corey:
yea genious I do. Did you read the title of this thread? If you did then you will know.
@ YankCrank:
See you are wrong. I knew we were going to lose the game with Smoltz pitching so I came to terms before the game was pitched. And for those people that keep talking about Pedro. He is not on the team anymore. I wonder if any of your pitchers were headhunting the Mets because Pedro was on that team. Oh another question. Why did Jaba the drunk threw over Longoria’s head?
Mark Melancon is a former University of Arizona player and Pedroia played against him for rival Arizona State…maybe this things has roots back to that?

Your evidence is the fact that the title of his thread says so? If you’re in law school, you might want to re-take Evidence.
[...] Melancon has to learn to stop hitting batters right square in the back. That’s what triggered this whole thing. And, now, Jorge Posada is probably going to get [...]
