Today during the Braves and Giants game live at Freeland Park in San Francisco Hore Jives almost got hit with a pitch inside 5 times. Actually his last two at bats he faced 4 pitchers because the two pitchers that started the at bat got tossed from the game with close pitches inside after several warnings. Ludwig who started the mess with 3 straight close pitches inside in the top 3rd said he did throw inside on purpose. He said he was trying to move him off the plate. D.W. Crenshaw the closer who also got ejected said he just wanted to pitch inside and move Hore off the plate. Hore who is known for crowding the plate at times did not like the fact that he was getting thrown at or so he thinks. D.W. Crenshaw who was in a bases loaded one out jam trying to keep the 5-3 depesite reachable but then was ejected and then he tossed the ball from the pitchers mound all the way into the left field stands, he then got into an argument with The Crew Cheif Chris Goons and then tossed his glove down and got in the face of Hore Jives. They started pushing a little then Hore went to tackle D.W. and D.W. pulled him down and put him into a choke hold. D.W. was ejected and Hore stayed in the game. D.W. decided to go get the ball that he threw because he relized what he did was wrong and at the age of 19 you don't want to built a bad reputation when your going to possibly be around for another 15 years. So while he went to get the ball Hore Jives picked up Crenshaw's hat that was knocked off during the brawl and controversily went to the bathroom in it. He later said he only did it for the laughs and said he did not actually go number one in it. While D.W. came back from getting the ball he picked up his glove and picked up his hat, and he put the hat on his head and headed for the dressing room and Hore broke out laughing which was also on camera. League Officals after the game checked out Crenshaw's hat and saw a faded yellow spot in the hat and think that could of been the left overs dished out by Jives. But online Hore Jives had this to say.
Hore Jives (12:32:14 AM): and btw i did really piss in your hat
D.W. Crenshaw (12:32:24 AM): what
Hore Jives (12:33:18 AM): i pissed in your hat
Well, he said it. He could of been joking but we take things like that very seriously and Jives was caught on camera going to the bathroom in the hat, he was behind the backstop and you cannot actually tell if he did go in it. Afterwords he tossed the hat and shook his hand like he got some on himself and laughed in the progress. Hore is a rookie and this is his 2nd game and this is not a good reputation this youngster is builting. Hore Jives will be suspended 1 game and the all-star break he'll have to stay home. Even though he would not be on the all-star team he will not be able to even get a ticket or show up at Turnpike Stadium July 26th. Basically on that day he's banned. He will also be fined $10,000. Now if MLB jr. officals decide to take the hat to a lateratory and take tests on it and find that Hore did actual urinate on it then we here that he can actually be suspended another 6-8 games on top of his current suspended and fined another $50,000. This is no joke and Hore Jives needs to learn that you don't joke around by either protending or actually urinating in someone's baseball cap or in public. Hopefully Braves owner, Alex DeWitt will shape this badboy up. Even without the proof Hore is still fined and suspended.
LaRue McKinney hit a bloop single in left field and while rounding 1st he twisted his ankle. It's a facture and he'll be going on the 30 day DL. He'll be back August 18th. Shelton Smith of the Giants, a pitcher, fouled a pitch right back into his face. The ball smashed his mouth and it was called a broken mouth. It was actually a broken jaw and he lost 4 teeth later that day from all the swelling. Smith with be on the 60 day DL and won't be back until September 18th.
Jose "Ho-Rod" Rodriguez was playing 2nd base and the A's pitcher, Jermey Slifka felt like he was going to puke. So weirdly he handed the ball to Ho-Rod. Jose was so shocked and he did take the ball. Ho-Rod threw a fastball the clocked in pretty low and gave up a single to Kelly Boras of the Giants. Jose made his pitching debut, he is clearly not a pitcher. He's played the outfield from 1997-2001 then he made the switch to 2nd base making him the 1st offical everyday left handed 2nd basemen. So it comes down to Kelly Boras's first MLB jr. hit came off of Jose Rodriguez, that's something to tell your grandchild once Jose becomes a hall of famer and will end his career with over 600 career HR if he stays healthy. He has around 400 to go though but still very young at age 27.
