Well, I think Brewers fans know as well as we know that Molina is complete trash.

There's the Yuni B. we know and love. Weak pop-up on a 2-0 count.

The Central is actually below .500 vs. the NL this year, if that means anything.Puddles said:
probably because they usually get to play the NL Central. This time i think the central played the East.beast786 said:

You accomplished that with the first pitch inside, asshole. This guy is the biggest dickhead in baseball.

Watch the second video. Stay classy there Cards announcers. Almost as pathetic as TLR, Molina and the rest of them.
Molina should be suspended at least 10 games. At least.

If in a important situation I had a YoTU call against me THAT BAD, I might bump and spit on an ump too. Molina is not exactly a guy who flies off the handle here.

Nice call, ump. At what point does MLB take into account YoTU in a situation like this? The call is so laughably bad Molina snaps, which he obviously wouldn't if the pitch is a legit strike. So you penalize Molina for losing it due to a horrible ump call and turn a blind eye to the ump? That's not right.

Did you see the pitch? Really? Are YOU trolling?vas_a_morir said:
It's no different in the NBA when a joke call by a ref is made and a coach intentionally gets thrown out to show how bad the call was. The only good thing that'll come out of this is the thousands of replays on ESPN and hopefully someone says "Hey, that pitch kinda his a ball..." MLB of course will do nothing.
Here's a theoretical for you: Last year when Jim Joyce jobbed Armando Galarraga out of a perfect game, lets' say Armando flew off the handle and bumped Joyce, and was ejected. Tigers lose the game... does Galarraga deserve a 10 game suspension? Bottom line, if the right call is made the reaction never happens, or at least would be purely irrational. It's logic at its simplest. We bitch and moan about YoTU all the time on GAF and we never think of the potential ramifications. Well, here's one.

Hmmmm... so by that .gif I can only surmise you're trying to say what, he intentionally spat on him? Let's break that down:
And the key is intent... have you ever been so angry you're screaming at a guy so fast you spit (hence the term "spitting mad")? that's obviously what's happening. I've seen people intentionally spit on umps, and that's not what is happening here (ex. see Robbie Alomar). I've also seen this type of insane anger (ex. see Paul LoDuca) and know that's probably what's going on... I mean dude nearly beat up his own teammate and shoved a coach, he obviously checked out. I think if he wanted to spit on him he'd hawk a fucking loogy on him, or something the viewer would be able to see.
EDIT: the horribad call brought on the overreaction. I'm not condoning what he did, just saying YoTU is the cause of it.

Yes. Yes he would.
Molina physically bumped the umpire 3 different times and spit in his face.
Regardless of whatever caused Molina to snap, he went off the rails.
Your position is beyond ridiculous. The umpire made a bad call, it happens. What Molina did is insane and has no business being in sports. I think a 10 game suspension should be the bare minimum.
NBA analogy is awful. If a player did this in the NBA they are looking at least a $100,000 fine and a lengthy suspension. Selig isn't nearly even in the same realm as Stern when it comes to absolutely no criticizing (or bumping and spitting at) the officials. In the NBA you literally get a technical and a fine for looking at a ref the wrong way. Could you imagine if an NBA player got into the grill of a ref, multiple times and spit in his face (accidentally or not) multiple times?
