Maybe some of the pitches intended for the inside part of the plate end up at the batter’s body because pitchers aren’t always that accurate. OTOH, maybe some are intended to be at the head, like if a hitter has a double and a homer already that day, and the pitcher is sending a message.

Looks like the monkey testosterone made him crazy. Not sure what to make of him being a great great grandpa given he died at 45.

Baseball was more fun when pitchers were allowed to throw 100 MPH fastballs at the heads of helmetless players.

Their little snowflake begged for a batting helmet, but his parents were too cheap. So now they’re trying to claim it was great-great-grandpa’s fault.

Well, what do you expect from a guy named Pud?

I’ve never understood brushback pitches; why not just throw strikes on the inside. The batter can’t hit them and will have to back off or strike out.
