something needs to be done about Azuna's out of control, dangerous follow thru

Count Cougar

He’s been in the league how long and how many have been hurt? 😂😂😂

pegushin

He has hit like 10 catchers in the head

JOPE

May 5, 3:45pm

And that’s why they wear helmets and masks

pegushin

May 5, 3:46pm

To stop bats from hitting them in the head?

May 5, 3:47pm

That is actually not the reason, not even close

JOPE

It’s a part of the job, adjust for each hitter. Geez

pegushin

May 5, 4:00pm

You mean adjust for 1 hitter. No one else has this issue.

May 5, 4:01pm

Boo hoo, just play ball

pegushin

May 5, 4:05pm

That night be good advice for the Braves right now. Dodgers seem to be playing

Congrats probably getting another 1st round playoff exit too

This is how my teenage daughter argues. Backswing is bad, Braves fan counters, and only argument is we are winning

Sweep.😊

So you’d like a guy who is a great hitter to adjust his swing? If you were in

The players association just had a stroke reading this

It almost seems abusive.

I’m sorry this happened to you. It must be hard.

Dodger fans are babies, they make Yankee fans tolerable

Present company excepted

The best way to handle this is for the catcher to fire the throw back

Maybe Will Smith should take one step back when Ozuna comes up

May 5, 3:49pm

Smith isn’t catching today. It happened to Barnes

TicoBrown

May 5, 3:51pm

That makes it harder for the ump to see a low strike

May 5, 3:52pm

I don’t see why they should change for one player in the league, why wouldn’t every batter be super wild with their

May 5, 3:54pm

because he is dangerous

Count Cougar

May 5, 4:00pm

His swing is a little different that’s it. It’s a very effective swing. Hits

May 5, 4:02pm

batters don't back off to avoid getting hit by certain pitchers

Count Cougar

May 5, 4:09pm

Yeah they do. Certain pitchers have a reputation that if you crowd

May 5, 4:11pm

so all the catchers should adjust for one guys unorthodox swing?

Count Cougar

May 5, 4:23pm

The catcher backing up will 100% effect the calls by the umpire on the low end of the zone.

Back up for one hitter in the league? How bout he fix his follow through?

May 5, 3:52pm

If I were getting hit in the head, I would back up.

seco03

May 5, 3:53pm

If he wasn't such an unlikable player to begin with, it probably wouldn't bother

May 5, 3:56pm

If a pitcher throws inside and it occasionally gets away and hits someone

Here's a good video discussing the MLB rule and Ozuna's backswing in particular

slatecoug

Funny thing is only Dodgers catchers seem to have a problem with it. 🤷‍♂️

RoaroftheCougartails

May 5, 4:47pm

Yep, everyone else enjoys being hit in the head. Silly Dodgers.

May 5, 5:40pm

I think he’s saying that dodger catchers are the most common to be hit

May 5, 7:38pm

I mean look up ozuna/catcher problems. You’ll find Will Smith. And…. Nobody else makes a big deal of it. They just sit

RoaroftheCougartails

May 5, 8:29pm

He's hit others. It's his swing and he isn't purposely hitting guys but you're

May 5, 9:41pm

He's hit several. So the implication is they must enjoy it.
