I think the punishment should fit the intent, which was to injure the 1st baseman enough that he could be out for the season. Suspend the batter for the remainder of the season.
Agreed.
Agreed. Trying to maliciously injure a person like this crosses the line and should have zero tolerance with sharp punishment. Should be banned for season.
Man, for something deliberately dirty like that, I'm totally fine with multiple season suspension. Or even outright banishment.
I thought you were going to say they get to let the first baseman smash that guy's ankle
Something like this might transcend baseball, intentionally hurting someone, with cleats no less is criminal
I get getting heated and maybe not liking your opponents, however there is no place for this kind of disregard for respect or safety in sports. Great video as always sir, thank you!
Ok bud..
And it is not the place of Putin to invade a sovereign country!
Waaa waaa. Its a man sport. It was a dick move, but your crybaby approach and your disregard for the game is disrespectful and you can go cry to mommy about it.
@@strongestnattyever-videos2247 OK bud
@@guadalupe8589 yeh..
Absolutely dirty. Good job on the ump for noticing that it was no accident. I've never seen a collision like that when the first baseman is stretching in front of the base to make the catch and the throw is nowhere near the runner
Ohhh dirty 😩
Manny Machado did this. Old school baseball had runner's step on the 1bman's foot if they had it on the bag instead of the side. There was an attitude that it didn't belong there as it was dangerous for the runner so they punished 1bmen to remind them.
No different than runner's sliding into fielder's who block a base with their foot or leg on a steal or play at that bag.
This happened to me in HS. The kids stepped right on my achilles. No major injury luckily, but did not feel good one bit. Said a few choice words to him.
Absolutely! Dick move on the runners behalf, but in a mans sport, you stand up for yourself. Call him names, talk trash, or kick his ass, but dont go cry to mommy. Woketards today would just try to sue the kid for billions of dollars and say he tried to kill him.
@@user-TerryBrlnson You'd have to be a mommy's boy to even have that cross your mind even as a possibility to be shunned.
This just happened to my son this past weekend in St. Louis, MO during a 13u AAA tournament. It’s sick and 100% bush league.
I hope your son is ok.
I hope your son is ok, that's really awful. Go Cards.
Its not bush league, its actually major league and though wrong and a dick move, absolutely a common practice in a sport meant for men that are not mommas boys, or have daddys that are like mommas boys. Male sports dont need girly boys mommys and daddys being so terrified their girly boy got hurt. Its baseball. It was a dick move, but its baseball, a real mans sport not meant for mommas boys. Ask Pete Rose, the greatest of all time, how many times he got hurt, or hurt someone else. Thats baseball. Dont like it, dont play. Try flag football, golf, or glee club, or better yet, golf.
Hey Everybody! Terry wants everybody to know he's an asshole. Got that, everybody?
@@user-TerryBrlnson Haha what?
"I won't punch you if you don't punch me" would make a great t-shirt.
When I was 13, I had someone intentionally run over me when I played 1st base. I had my arm stretched out to catch the ball and the runner ran out of the baseline right into my arm. I had my arm shattered and to make things worse the ball hit me in the mouth and knocked out 6 teeth, busted my nose. I had to have a rod and screws put in my arm and a mouthful of fake teeth. The ump did call the runner out for leaving the baseline. He knew he was going to get out so he caused all of that to me for no reason. People like this should be suspended by the league for the rest of the season minimum. There is no reason for this stuff in kids baseball. It can change people lives for no reason whatsoever.
That's hilarious. Wish i could have been there.
@@aaronm.1998 Glad you find it was funny.
It's always telling what the intent is based on the players reaction. If accidental any good player would come back around, and acknowledge that you messed up.
Bench clearing brawls are always a way to settle, but with the way people love to throw out lawsuits, I think the best way to handle is the old plunk route to the hands.
I favor the brawl/deck the guy
But I know what you mean
Just throw a fastball at the guy’s face next time he bats
@@ifbfmto9338 you’ve never been in a fight in your life

Finally a real man telling the real truth! Thanks man! Go play tennis if its too tough, or get up and dont let him get away with that, unless mommy is in the stands. No true toughness left in sports meant for men theses days, even young mens sports.
They've turned men into women and women into men
When I was in High School (waaaaaaaay back in the 70's) one of our players did that to the opposing 1st baseman on the last out of a game we lost by like 12 runs. This was about the fourth game of the season and the coach expelled him from the team for the rest of the season. No argument from administration, no push back from the dude's parents, no social outcry about "teachable moment". Different times.
Similar thing happened to me in little league but the umpires let it get way out of hand. I was playing 1st, kid was out by a mile, my foot was on the edge of the base... and the kid for some reason decided to plow into me and knocked me over, all the parents were yelling and screaming because of it. Umpire for some reason didn't throw the kid out of the game or even issue a warning. Later in the game, I'm pitching and of course I throw straight at the kid and hit him in the back. I also didn't get tossed from the game. Coaches, players, and parents start yelling at each other even more. Everyone calms down and we won game.
Now that's a great story 👌
Team batting was Bridgewater and team in the field was Lynchburg (both D3 schools in Virginia). This game was part of the ODAC Tournament and Lynchburg won the 3 game series against Bridgewater. Looks like something Manny Machado would do…..
I’ve watched both these team play in the past, I think maybe this was an act by one player hopefully not a representation of the team. Not sure this player shouldn’t be disciplined more by his team…not to mention NCAA…no place for this in the game…
Thanks. That's helpful. Glad Lynchburg won!
When you said that you grabbed your buddy on 3rd I totally lost it. Lol. IQ 1000
Thank you for your videos
Start pretend punching each other and acting like it was a great punch.
Batter was also relief pitcher who balked in eventually winning run, then gave up two homers. He had actually gotten the first baseman out at the plate while pitching. He’s a super senior so this was the last play of his baseball career. They lost that game and the next one (he didn’t play in) both by 11-1 scores. Brett Tharp making his school look bad.
I hope potential future employers see this video . . .
@@williambracale3577 We should spam every local McDonald's with this video.
@@kendallevans4079 i think super senior as in parents held him back one year so he can play one more season of highschool ball to try and get him drafted. Not happening any more though 😂
Reminds me a bit of Manny Machado tripping on the first baseman Aguilar years ago although it was more of the side-glance.
I was plate ump on a very similar play last summer and ejected BR . He got 5 games suspension .
I may have just been waiting for this guy in the parking lot at every game for the next year. You do something like that it becomes personal real quick.
is a heater to the ribs enough of retribution for this play? If I were the coach of the first baseman's team I would have gone completely ballistic and gotten tossed purely based on profanity per second
Straight out of the Machado playbook!
You have to understand.... at that point, the coach might not have known exactly what was going on, and/or wanted to make sure he knew what was going on, before he went all ballistic.
Says someone never competitive in male sports. Get up and kick his ass, or try to, because it was a dick move to step on his leg like that, but its a mans sport. If you dont like it, go play volleyball or golf.
Uh what else could it have been. Baseball ppl knew exactly what it was soon as it happened. You might wanna start paying attention more if that’s your mindset.
This is why I taught my 1st basemen to push of the bag as soon as you got the out. Much like the same way a pitcher explodes off the rubber. Doing so allows you to get out of harm's way quickly. Additionally some times you can steal an out on a bang bang play by pushing off slightly early if the ump isn't paying. All attention. All the ump really sees is your leg push off the bag as the runner is coming to it. So in his mind's eye you must have caught the ball prior.
Umpires are calling outs based on sound most of the time. The ball hitting the glove vs the foot hitting the bag.
I umpire and I listen for the ball to hit the glove while watching the runner's foot. I've caught FB trying to steal an out by pulling off too soon and costing themselves an out. If I see the FB pull off before I hear the ball hit the glove, I call the runner safe.
I remember a first baseman for the Braves by the name of Willie Montanez who used to immediately lift his foot up after he received a throw from the infielder, pitcher or catcher (after a groundout).
Oh yes, I remember Nyjer Morgan (AKA Tony Plush).
That could have been a CAREER ending injury, that player should get drilled by the NEXT PITCHER regardless of the TEAM, Right in the RIBS!
And the next one
No athlete should ever TRY to injure a player. This play reminded me of when tim hudson got his leg broke by a runner while covering 1st on a play. That one wasn't intentional but goes to show how dangerous some bs like this is to pull.
Should have had a few friends waiting in the parking lot for this guy.
At 1st base; bull-shifter play. Also, olde schl nice "peg" to the defensive man. From: Coolavoohig, republic of Ireland 🇮🇪. GOD BLESS USA.!!!
I was playing softball with a 'safe base' at 1st. The first baseman had his foot and leg completely across the double size base, leaving me nowhere to step on my side of the bag. It was a close play, and I ended up stepping on the ankle. Even though I was in time, I got called out for injuring the first baseman. Nothing said to the first baseman for their illegal play.
I can understand the coach’s subdued reaction, especially if they know each other. He’s reading to see if other coach is going out there to put his foot up the batter’s ass. I was never much at baseball, but no coach I ever played for in any other sport would put up with his players pulling shit like this.
the one that got stepped on is an extended relative on mine, his ankle fractured In a complicated place and he was out for nine weeks
Per the Boxscore....the guy who did it does pitch, but was not pitching in this game...he was playing 1B.
Old school spiking
Forget a fastball to the ribs. This calls for something a little higher.
It's almost impossible to not be upset when Nyger Morgan is involved. Dude must've had the highest amount of dumb plays in MLB history. At some point you gotta wonder if they were intentional.
I think Nyjer Morgan was more a knucklehead than anything else. Nothing nefarious, he was just remarkably undisciplined in everything.
Milton Bradley, on the other hand...
I like how you said he will wear one.
😆 Give us an update on that potential beaning ⚾
Kid would never play another game for me.
Ty Cobb approves
What two teams were playing… and who stepped on the 1st baseman’s ankle?
Question: If a batter gets ejected before completing the at-bat will the ejection count as an out too?
Well, he was already out.
What year and game was the one puljost got clipped
Happened to me twice by the same guy! Not the ankle, all the way up to the knee!
As a first baseman this has happened to me on 2 occasions. Once the guy was timid and didn’t want to hurt me but the first time I was in high school and it was our rival school and he did it twice the first time I warned him not to do it again the second time was the only time I ever got into a fight on the field. My ankle and foot was bleeding and i laid into him. I had him on the ground and got 2-3 punches to his face before they got me off of him. They threw him out of the game and I stayed in. They opposing fans were pissed and the umps told them he tried to end his entire season on a routine ground out youre lucky If he doesn’t go to the UIL and get him banned!
I don't want to call you a liar, but the league you posted in must have had its own set of rules. There is no way in civilized high school baseball you should have stayed in that game. I'm not denouncing your reaction. I would have done the same. But I would have done it knowing the repercussions to follow.
You knew (or should have known) when you started punching dude that you were going to at least, at the very least get thrown out of the game. So, ¹ that either didn't happen, ² it didn't happen the way you are saying it did, or ³ you played in a league with officials that seriously blew moist assbubbles.
@@Robbie1075depends on when it happened too. I remember a time in my life when the retaliator didn't get punished or got punished lightly while the instigator got the bigger punishment.
I got in a fight at school and got no punishment at all because one of the staff members had seen what had happened (the other guy do something horrible to provoke me). And he got suspended.
So I'm not saying he's telling the truth or lying either, but if you go back 20+ years in the US a lot of this zero tolerance, punish everyone involved even if they were just defending themselves, BS didn't exist and at their discretion people could decide to not punish it lightly punish for things that today would be severely punished.
But I do agree with you, I was more a basketball player not a baseball player and if I had ever thrown down I would have expected at least a tech and more likely an ejection so I'd go in knowing that's probably what would happen.
My boy David Freese, WS MVP of one of the best WS of the last decades…. Atta boy…. Your roommate?!? Let’s go!
Can tell !
Pulled a Machado
I had a first baseman trip me as I got to the base. Ended up with a shattered collar bone torn all my ligaments. Spent a week in the hospital. This was 1979.
a *_STRICT_* code of conduct should be followed by *_anyone_* who represents a college or university no matter what the field of endeavor, but *_ESPECIALLY_* where the activity is high-profile like sports where what you do on the playing field sets an example for players at the high school and younger levels . . . an absolutely intentional potentially career-ending act like this should be met with expulsion . . . zero tolerance for this kind of behavior
That's a "Meeting you in the parking lot" type play. Let alone the next at bat.
That's one of the dirtiest things you can do in baseball. Even when you throw at a guy's head from the pitcher's mound, the batter is usually prepared to dodge it. No first baseman is prepared in that situation to be spiked.
And the batter had a helmet to mitigate the damage some. Poor 1B all he had was a sock
There is a suggestion below that such INTENTIONAL injury should result is a "suspension for the remainder of the season." I would say that a penalty of a FULL SEASON suspension would be more appropriate.
They played again immediately after (actually the game ended right as I made this comment) as it was a tournament. Lynchburg (team with 1B won 11-1) Also the first basemen left the game immediately after this. A freshman came in, in his place and hit a single and scored a run in his first college AB. :)
25, Josh Gjormand, did not play today.
Usually an ejection means you're suspended at least one game.
So when was this game? I was looking though box scores but couldn't figure it out. That was #23 on BC, right? Matt Tharp?
@@karlrovey no, 25 was not ejected, he was the one stepped on
@@J.C... the game in video was yesterday
@@MrGerard0406 My mistake.
My daughter's coach told all her players to step on the first baseman's foot and break it. I had noticed the girl was left handed and was playing like a right handed does wrong foot on the bag so I intentionally went over to their side and explained to her why she should have the other foot on the bag and showed her why......more stretch. I told her coach that if I was out of line for explaining why I was sorry but also that the other coach told her players to step on her foot and break it.
Curious to know if there was any previous history between these two, either professionally or personally.
First baseman was sleeping with his girlfriend.
I was umpiring a U16 (I think) game a few years ago and a pitcher gave up a bunch of runs near the end of the game and blew the lead. In the last inning he hit a dribbler to the pitcher and tried to truck the first baseman, but was out by so far he missed. He strait up got juked out by the first baseman and still got ejected.
#23 Matt Tharp - Bridgewater College box score says he played 1b during that game? And there's nothing anywhere online about this happening. You can bet that any team worth their salt will be sure to note to NEVER recruit that guy.
Yep. He notched a save the day before.
I hope he got a good long suspension..
Scoop of the year
Batter deserves to be not only suspended, but arrested and prosecuted for this.
Gtfo dude. Prosecution for a sporting event? You folks outside the legal process are quick to make yourselves look like absolute fools spouting that utter nonsense. I’m embarrassed for you.
Good f ing luck getting a conviction
The video shows he’s not looking down/clearly aiming at the foot….
Do I believe this was intentional? Absolutely yes, but you’re never, and I mean never getting a conviction out of this
This is best settled by retaliation, either clear the benches and deck the guy, or throw at him whenever he bats 🤷🏼♂️
@@ifbfmto9338 its so obviously a joke
@@jeffreymerlino4613 No a lot of people in these comments seem to legitimately think you could prosecute the guy for this
You can’t 🤷🏼♂️
That batter who stepped on the 1st baseman, should get a 110 mph fastball right on the torso.
This is beyond unsportsmanlike conduct! Brawl or retaliation, exactly what Antonelli said. This is one that makes the player, coach, parents, school, and town/city, look bad? When something like this occurs, the ejection should be the least of the punishment! He should be expelled from the team and ordered to attend anger management counciling.
He could have started an all out brawl, the coaches throwing blows, and a lot of unnecessary chaos.
If this would have been college, or professional level baseball, I can almost guarantee that this would have gotten messy. I've seen it a couple times, with intent, but this has to be the worse, blatant, and premeditated case that I have ever seen, in my 40 years of being involved with the game on evert level, except MLB. I would like to think, and believe the coach had no involvement in this isolated case, but he's the coach and he's ultimately in charge, and under his responsibility? I really don't think the coach new that he was going to do what he did? However, it all runs downhill.
A great breakdown and explanation!
Baseball needs some hockey fight battles … it would be awesome
I was coaching a softball team called the Cardinals. We were suppose to be the under dogs. No one wanted this time because of that. Well I stepped up and said I’ll do it. Never coaching before but I had played and my oldest daughter is playing. I watched a lot of you tube softball drills about coaching, skills, and other important softball stuff. Well when a few ppl seen my team actually has what it takes to be a great team it was a fight to keep my team. Because then I became the underdog because I was on unfamiliar territory with people that had been together before I was kicked off the team for no reason my softball team cared about me so much as their coach. They stood up in the dugout and told everyone in front of their parents that they wanted me back as their head coach, I didn’t even mind not even being the head coach. I just wanted to be there to coach my girls because of jealousy and whatever else they decided that it was best not to have me as a coach. They said that because I was a new coach I possibly would not be able to get my team ready for games, I taught myself how to fast pitch at 40 years old. After that I taught three other girls how to fast pitch. I told the girls how to throw a ball as far as a man from outfield. I taught them a great way to field the ball into their glove and go straight into a step and throw. Now that there are three coaches on that one team when there was only one coach, those three coaches have ran my team into the ground. They continue to let a pitcher pitch that walks every player I’m not just saying that she literally has walked every player. The first game was 17 to 4. They finally switched out to one of the players that I taught how to pitch the last two innings that is win. The other team did not score again and we were able to score 4 points. I hate it for the team that I started they will forever be my Cardinals . But I’m stuck in a situation. I don’t know what to do because I feel if I could take this team back we still have a chance or do I do whatever what else has told me just give up you’re not getting paid for it. It wasn’t about getting paid for it. It was about the passion for the game and a passion for the team and the desire to give those players the passion as well. If they lose all season long, these girls are not going to feel like they are winners. I don’t know if you’ll answer me back or not should I let it go or should I go over the rec coordinators head and start getting answers on why the team was taken away from me to begin with? Also, it was a lot of your videos that I watched to teach my girls the skills that they know but the other coaches tried to tell them that that was the wrong way. I said I literally watched a pro baseball player do these things and coach these things and you’re gonna say he’s wrong they rolled her eyes at me
WTF are you talking about and what does this wall of text have to do with the video?
Brett Tharp - Bridgewater College
I’ll tell you this you do that to my teammate your not getting off the field at all. We fighting right there.
Manny Machado game of sportsmanship.
If you don’t have a video about what playing with Nyjer Morgan was like, can you make one? 😂
Absolutely deserves to wear one in his next at bat.
I always thought first baseman ankles get stepped on all the time considering the runner is usually sprinting at full speed. Maybe accidents happen when you are sprinting at full speed and try to accurately on an 1 feet squared base??
Sometimes first baseman put their foot way up on the bag and get stepped on. Never seen someone miss a bag by this much though. Any college player should be able to hit a bag while running. If you can’t, you shouldn’t play
"this guy's gonna wear one" gets to the truth of it, which is that baseball is a better game for there being an element of in-game deterrence.
Bud, nobody has ever gotten "the ever loving hell" beat out of them in a baseball brawl...and that's a shame
Not familiar with Robin Ventura are you?
As the next batter in the recipe you gotta be thinking imma spiderman all the way
Seeing the response of the 1st base coach, which was to do absolutely NOTHING when the 1st basemen was hurt, pretty much tells us what the attitude of their entire team is. That kind of disgusting behavior is acceptable from their players and likely even encouraged from the top on down. They don't deserve to play ball.
That's egregious. Very uncalled for. I wouldn't be surprised if the first basement presses charges against him
This looks like a job for the parking lot after the game.
Matt, how would you handle this (both in the moment and after the fact) if the batter were your player? If the opposing manager lit into verbally as you say you'd have done, would you feel the need to stick up for your guy, despite him being wrong, or would you apologize right away?
if i were the manager of the offending player, i would stand him face-to-face where everyone could see us (i.e., before he gets anywhere near the dugout) and i would tell him: "you and i are going to walk over to the first baseman together. right now. and you are going to offer the most sincere apology you have ever given in your entire life. if i am not satisfied with your apology, i will take whatever administrative steps are necessary to see that you never play for this team again; at least for as long as i am the manager. let's go." if he hesitates for more than 1.7 seconds, he forfeits the opportunity and i march his ass back to the dugout, have one of the coaches escort him to the clubhouse, ensure that he dresses and leaves, and proceed with the necessary notification and paperwork immediately after the game. if his apology is sincere, he gets to stay but with some sort of reasonable team-induced suspension. and, of course, a shrubbery.....

The injured player can legally win in civil court for medical and quality of life damages if a baseball player intentionally injures another player during a league game.
In general, intentional torts are civil wrongs that are committed intentionally and without legal justification. In the context of sports, an intentional tort can occur when a player intentionally injures another player. This type of injury can result in significant medical expenses and a loss of quality of life.
To win a civil case for intentional tort, the injured player must prove that the other player acted intentionally, that the other player's actions were the proximate cause of the injury, and that the injured player suffered actual damages. In the context of sports, it can be difficult to prove that a player acted intentionally. However, if there is clear evidence that the player intended to injure the other player, such as video footage or eyewitness testimony, then the injured player is more likely to succeed in their case.
If the injured player is successful in their case, they may be awarded damages to cover their medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases, the injured player may also be awarded punitive damages, which are designed to punish the other player for their reckless or malicious behavior.
It is important to note that the rules of each league may vary, so it is always best to consult with an attorney to determine if you have a case.
I happen to agree with everything you said. Something similar happened to my team in high school and though we didn't get into a brawl, the catcher, our catcher, punch this guy right in the face when he came up to bat next time and drop the guy right where he stood. I will catcher was ejected immediately and nobody disagreed and nothing else happened. It was an f you moment and the other team understood what was being said and no one challenged us after that
In the early 70's I was spiked and knocked down many times tagging runners at 2nd base. But I was taught to block the base with my left leg tho.
that experience does not apply here. the play is at 1st base, not 2nd base. the kid has his foot on the side of the bag and left the pathetic runner the entire base to step on
You can't see the runner's foot, but you can see the effect it makes on the baseman's pants leg all the way up to his knee.
I played sports my whole life. Every sport.
I was wondering why this isn't as simple case of assault.
Do that in the streets and you go to jail.
Why do athletes get away with this.
There is a simple way to settle it. Next time he is up to bat, the heater comes at him. Settled.
@@nda16fm Or clear the benches and deck the guy in a brawl 🤷🏼♂️

@@ifbfmto9338 True true.
That’s a potentially career ending injury obviously done on purpose. That guy would get his ass whooped, and then if he ever had another at bat we would throw at his head.
So what happened after the intentional damage? Not a very complete video.
Wow
I played ball at all levels except the majors. I played against some of the best sportsman imaginable. And also some of the most unimaginable worst.
How did the benches not clear here?
If I'm on the batting team I'm locking his arms behind his back and telling the fielding team they each get a free shot at him, do your worst!
As I release him and he crumples to the ground I ask someone from the fielding side to hold him up for each of our side to go prison rules on this grub.
I've got to know what happened after this! Vid doesn't show :-(.
thats what turned me off to baseball. too much take each other out. id like to think this was an accident. i remember when i played . hit the ball and everything went blurry. get to 1st at all costs. like i may have done same thing by accident and never knew it unless someone told me. maybe hes played enough its not a blur anymore and he should know better. if i accidentally hurt someone like that id ask the ref to call me out and id be over holding other guy. if this guy did it on purpose he should get banned for life.
Unacceptable, an injury like that would take you out for the season. bush league stuff. I’m old school and would definitely be head hunting for him next game..
Luckily for him, he's suspended the next game (and possibly more).
Oooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...that's DIRTY!!
First of all, you cannot see if the 1b's leg is against the base or across it. 2nd of all, the runner isn't looking at the fielder's foot. 1bmen are taught to catch and then leave the bag immediately for this reason. Runners are focused on running through the bag. You can't read
minds. I'll trust that the Umpires had a clean look and judged that the runner should have avoided stepping where he did whether intentional or not.
Just wait in the parking lot by the team bus...send him home short a few teeth
Batter started at 1B, but he's their closer. Gave up 5 runs in T8, 1 earned, but they hit him well. This was G2 in a best of 3 round of the conference tourney. BC was an 8 seed and they won the opener. But Lynchburg blew them out in G3 as well. I'm sure this affected both teams. Batter did not play in G3, nor did the 1B. Batter is a grad student. Played football, too, and from what I hear a good guy. Just let emotions get to him.
Good guy? Serious question here: Would you want your daughter to marry him?
People complain too much in sports this day. Play the game, accept the pain, and move forward!!
I thought you always say the unwritten rules of baseball need to go away. However drilling him next time in ribs is one of those rules. I believe he should get drilled as well. But I like some of the unwritten rules 😀
No. He needs to be kicked out of the league permanently and arrested.
I'm appalled that no hands were thrown.
In 2018 nlcs. Manny Machado tried to hurt Jesus agular for milwaukee. I think that one was close to this one.
Nah, Manny just drug his toes over the dudes foot/leg. This guy actually stepped on his leg with all of his weight. You can tell Manny at least attempted not to use all of his weight even though he still did it on purpose
Don’t usually condone fastballs to the head but in this case an exception can be made
