Diesel, hit by pitches are common and often times don't even leave a bruise. Sometimes they cause injury, but it is minor. Pitchers usually have good control of their stuff and stay away from the head area (ie. somewhere that can cause significant damage). Being it with a bat is almost sure to cause injury and I feel like its alot less controllable. A bat to the head would not be good.


Baseball has been played for over a hundred years... Do you think Machado is some kind of revolutionist? No.... every other player just realizes how messed up it is to be hurling bats out of control.


How can batters retaliate?

Ever hear of a player charging the mound? Ever hear of having your pitcher get their team back with an inside pitch of his own?



Manny Machado is not some brilliant minded revolutionist, he is a punk.
