Stumble it!
Interesting game - even though we lost it (grumble). The home plate umpire was hit by a shattered bat and sent to the hospital for stitches and then in the 9th inning, KC pitcher Ramon Ramirez appeared to be doing his best to bean our catcher, Yorvit Torrealba, with the baseball.
Suffice it to say Rockies manager Clint Hurdle isn’t pleased - well, neither am I to tell the truth lol.
KANSAS CITY — If indeed the Rockies start hitting the ball and salvage what had been a great start to June, they might look back and see that two inside fastballs sparked all of it.
The drama came at the end. It had nothing to do with the outcome of the game, another half-hearted loss to the Royals, this time, 7-3. After striking out two batters in the eighth, Royals reliever Ramon Ramirez, who was traded from Colorado to the Royals, opened the ninth by throwing a fastball by the head of Yorvit Torrealba, one way outside and another behind him.
The umpire gave Ramirez a warning. Manager Clint Hurdle had seen pitchers thrown out after two errant pitches and wanted an ejection.
“From our perspective,” Hurdle said, “it seemed like he took two pretty good shots at him and missed for whatever reason.”
More than he wanted that ejection, Hurdle wants a reaction from his team.
