hammerva Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 If you are the Yankees and are going to be the blatant in your fan interference, at least pull a 1996 and find a kid to take the bullet. 1

Apparently those guys will be allowed back tonight for Game 5, how is MLB not stepping in an banning these guys from ever stepping foot into any MLB stadium for the rest of their lives? This is way way different than the kid in 1996, this was borderline assault. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/42081449/yankee-stadium-fan-ejected-prying-ball-mookie-betts-glove 1

I just have a feeling each one is waiting for the other to make the decision so they can take the blame 1
NikoBaltimore Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 Reading the article it seemed like a couple of pricks who didn't care they were getting ejected (and no, it's not because they're Yankees fans) With Maier it was aggravating but at least that was a "dumb kid" that should have known better. But these guys in the clip not only wanted to interfere but looking at the second prick he could have done some damage to Betts's arm the way he was grabbing it. On top of being banned it would be nice if they got in some trouble for it. 2
Travis Sheldon Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 The fan said that "I patrol that wall". MFer, you paid big money to absolutely have no effect on the game, plus your buddy got thrown out with you for laying hands on a player. You're lucky Mookie Betts isn't an Albert Belle, 'cause both of you numbnuts might have gotten zoinked by your collars onto the field. 3 1
RIPPA Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 Yankees (in agreement with MLB) announced that the two idiots are not allowed to attend tonight
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 And just when you thought this couldn't get more absurd 1
Log Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 Quote "We always joke about the ball in our area," Capobianco, 38, said at a local bar after the game. "We're not going to go out of our way to attack. If it's in our area, we're going to 'D' up. "Someone defends, someone knocks the ball. We talk about it. We're willing to do this." Jesus. Grow the fuck up. 2

You tie him to a chair and allow every member of the Dodgers take one swing at him with a baseball bat. He can go to any game he wants after that as a warning to not be a complete and total asshole at a baseball game.

Nowadays, they don't learn lessons, they just double down. 1

This asshole literally tried to pry the ball out of Mookie's already closed glove. One of these people basically went into hiding, the other one is like, "yeah, that's what you do."
RIPPA Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 Apparently no decision has been made to take the one guy's season tickets away He clearly realizes it is possible because he is basically going "Golly gee - I hope the don't take them away" *insert puppy dog eyes* on all his interviews (which is bad enough to begin with) I can't see how they don't get taken away because it sets a really fucking bad precedent but we are also living in the Bad Place 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 I've met that guy about 40,000 times since I've been in this stupid city. When they're weapons grade stupid and rich (based on where they were sitting) like those two are, they were *always*: a) A stock broker b) Working at a boiler room firm that was actively being investigated by the SEC c) Trying to sell you something (stocks, drugs, a business plan, etc.) d) Able to get the best cocaine you've ever had in your life e) Cheating on their wife, while she raised his son. (~70/30 split on the person in question being female or male) Anyway, they've been informed by the Yankees that they will be refunded their tickets to Game 4. And if they try to get in with different tickets, they will be arrested. Jesse Rogers, who wrote the story above, is also getting lambasted today for writing the uncritical puff piece. He is apparently also in contact with them and says "they hope their ban will be short."
lostinube Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 In normal times, these guys would be lambasted, shamed etc etc. In 2024, please be on the lookout for "Wall Patrol" a new baseball podcast about the wildest ultras in MLB by the wildest of them all. We might get really lucky and he'll lean politically a certain way and will get referenced during a speech and spark off yet another culture war.

odessasteps Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 According to social media, the Yankees gave their tickets to a pediatric cancer patient and their family. 2

This asshole literally tried to pry the ball out of Mookie's already closed glove. One of these people basically went into hiding, the other one is like, "yeah, that's what you do." well part of the problem is that Bartman was immediately categorized as "hurting" the home team. These knuckleheads have immediately been categorized as "helping" the home team (or trying to, anyway), so all the people who wanted to harm Bartman are void of all moral consistency and backing these guys this time around, thanks to decades of enabling this bullshit by indulging the stupid myth of "home field advantage" and "The 10th/12th/Whateverth Man" tacitly encouraging people to think they're part of the team and ultimately rationalize trying to get away with affecting the game somehow. And the Yankees really aren't helping matters by having to be browbeaten into banning these guys instead of immediately saying fuck you and fuck your refund and banning/pressing charges against these guys. All the replica jerseys in the world don't make you part of the fucking team. I almost wish Mookie Betts would've actually gotten hurt just so the league would be humiliated into really cracking the whip on these guys/this sort of thing.
odessasteps Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 These guys were definitely more Jeffrey Meier and less Steve Bartman.
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 LA is going to regret not closing this out in Game 4. Aaron Judge wasn't going to stay quiet forever and with Ohtani gimpy and still at the top of the order. Nothing is insurmountable
Contentious C Posted October 31, 2024 Posted October 31, 2024 (edited) Never seen that before. 5 2-out runs from the Dodgers: think I have seen that. Edited October 31, 2024 by Contentious C
