They said because McCann is considered blocking the path to the plate the run counts regardless of him touching the plate.

MLB Network did some research and saw that Maholm hit Gomez with a fastball in the knee during a game on June 30. That's the only thing they can think of.
Gomez has battered Maholm in his career, but Maholm's hit Gomez twice with pitches.
Mitch Williams said the umps should have left Gomez in so he could "stare at the seams of a fastball" in his next at-bat.

Reed Johnson almost got a haymaker in on Gomez before someone obstructed him at the last second.
A chance to throw food at him.

It does it to me often, keep quitting out and back in, and you'll eventually be good.
you have to admit. Gomez was over the top with that.
McCann did defend his pitcher. Gomez was lucky that he didn't get body slam at that moment.

You bringing bad karma to your team.
Lol Gomez would destroy that gimli looking bitch. Carlos is huge.
And yeah a guy threw a rock 90 mph at him, he retaliated by watching a homer. Pitchers are lucky most guys call that even.
Yea, been trying to do that at the start. Looks like it's finally steady now.
I just saw the replay. I don't think it was the staring at the homer so much as it was the constant barking all the way around the basepaths. Also, he was staring down Maholm as he went up to bat, and after his first swing. The dude either on some illicit substance, or is a complete cock.

Oh fuck off with this shit. People get hit all the time. The only person Gomez shit on was himself. He had to sit there with his fake ass rage eyes and acting like he wanted a piece of somebody, but conveniently hit behind his teammates. Mitch Williams even called him out for being a bitch on that. "If he wanted to get around them and go for somebody, he could have. But he just wanted to run his mouth and look tough without being tough." Mike Lowell said that bullshit like this is why Gomez has bounced around so much and continues to hold himself back from his true talent.

He didn't just watch it. He ran around the bases talking total shit the entire time like a little fucking bitch who's never hit a home run in his life. That's what the issue is. Why don't you actually watch the video of what happened before you start staying stupid shit like your boy Gomez?

Matty V said on MLB Network manager challenges will not have any flags. Managers will just come out n say they want play challenged.
He's obviously a complete cook no one would deny that!
Lol as opposed to tough guy Maholm hiding behind a midget. Or said midget and his fists of fury?

It's always amazing when fanboyism blinds good judgment. Almost everyone is in unanimous agreement that Gomez acted like a total fucking bitch. I say almost everyone because there's always got to be total dumbfucks like you interjecting their brainless opinions into the discussion.
can't pass up another ad opportunity. this excruciatingly slow walk out of the dugout brought to you by the dodge challenger
Pretty sure I explicitly said he is a cock. I still find it amazing that pitchers think throwing at someone is totally fine but watching a flyball is a capital offense.
If batters had the ability to hit balls at pitchers faces at will "accidentally" I guarantee you they wouldn't be so glib about drilling guys.

Lohse is dealing.
54 pitches through 6.
54 pitches through 6.
I don't think Gomez started jawing until Maholm & McCann started yelling at him because their poor little feelings were hurt while Gogo watched that majestic home run.
McCann & Johnson should be suspended.
It's going to be amazing when Reed Johnson is suspended for some playoff games. McCann didn't even get tossed despite inciting a fight and refusing to let a home run hitter cross the plate. Insanity.
McCann was standing in the base path without the ball. Gomez should've ran into him at full speed and cleaned him out.
Im not scared of Karma, it can lick my taint
Calcaterra and Badler must be huge Brewers fans! Who knew? Sheehan just hates the Braves logo and fans so I don't count his support for much.
Add Jay Jaffe to the list: http://mlb.si.com/2013/09/25/brewers-carlos-gomez-braves-brian-mccann-brawl/ Good to see that the actual baseball writers who I respect know who is at fault here.

lol. I knew Houston couldn't keep a lead. Indians have to win every single game to secure that wild card spot.

That's the way it's looking. Astros can stop tanking now, they've already succeeded, help us out here.

You cannot be fucking serious. Gomez was staring Maholm down before the at-bat even started. Maholm turned his back to him once Gomez started his shit-talk trot.

Yankees rolling over is pretty shitty too. You think they'd want to screw over their in game rivals instead.
Oh well. Let's go win 4 in Minnesota.

Please, enlighten me as to your point instead of just bolding shit I say.
McCann blocking home plate just because Gomez hit a fucking BOMB is the most chickenshit move I've ever seen.
Mr. Enigma
Member
That's not why McCann did what he did. Yet another dipshit who obviously needs to actually watch the footage or needs their eyes checked badly.
Next uninformed goofball, please.
Cool so getting your feelings hurt makes it okay to pull bullshit like McCann did? Braves are an organization of pussies.

Good year for The Yankees given the circumstances.
