Adam Dunn tries killing Damian Miller

[Ding Dong Johnson]

My good lord, how do you get back up after a load like that plows you at the plate? I think I'd curl up into a ball and cry for a few hours.

 

Kudos to Miller for holding onto that ball.

Kudos to Miller for holding onto that ball.

I enjoyed his mild spike of the ball in Dunn's direction afterwards.

Video plz.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Video plz.

 

ESPN has had it on all night. See if you can catch it -- it's worth the effort just to see Dunn in a massive collision.

Dunn has yet to unleash his full power.

not really even a spike, just kind of dropped the ball at Dunn's face after he got up a lot quicker than Dunn did.

 

simply an awesome way to handle the situation. like jogging down to first looking at the pitcher with a smile on your face after getting hit intentionally (what Aram should have done).

 

note to AJ - - that is when colliding with the catcher is appropriate. you know, when the catcher actually has the ball or the ball is somewhere near the plate.

If Dunn really tried to kill Miller, Miller would be dead.

And note to MB: that is when blocking the plate is appropriate. You know, when the catcher actually has the ball or the ball is somewhere near the plate.

Note to South Side: Hijacking the thread isn't going to make them believe your opinion.

[South Side]

So I'm the one who brought AJ into a thread about Adam Dunn?

 

Responding to a previous post is not hijacking, hijacking is attempting to change the topic of the thread (which was done by someone else, not me).

 

I made my comment brief and without insult to the Cubs or the poster. I don't post often here, but every post I have made has been respectful, on topic, and not insulting to the Cubs.

 

And my "opinion" about blocking the plate (or any base) without the ball is not "opinion", it is chapter and verse from the MLB rulebook, which was backed up 100% by the disciplinary actions of MLB.

 

I will not respond to this thread in any manner in the future, so no one will need to be concerned about it being "hijacked". You may resume Dunn and Miller discussions.

Is this dissention among the ranks? :D

[JoshiQ]

Yeah, it's on the Brewers website.

Meh...that really wasn't that big of hit. Perhaps if Miller was planted and waiting for Dunn it would have been more entertaining!

Yeah, Pete Rose running over Ray Fosse this wasn't. Props to Damian Miller though, that was a hell of a play on his part.

Here's Dunn calling the Reds booth during a rain delay...

HILARIOUS

[wade]

That is terrific.

 

"Do you have your shirt on?" LOL

 

What does that even mean?

Agreed! As you mention, it was a great play on Miller's part. Although Barrett has been great as a Cub, I have much respect for Damian in 2003 and the way he handled our pitching staff.
