Please. The ball was 10 feet away. Slide around him and touch the plate. How did AJ know the ball was 10 feet away (which it wasn't)? He can see that the ball wasn't there. And yes, the ball was about 10 feet away when he committed to train-wrecking Barrett and ended up hitting AJ about the same time as the collision.
You cannot be serious. Yeah, it was sort of stupid, but he was fired up. Barrett grabbed him and slugged him. I lost a lot of respect for Barrett. So the unsportsmanlike conduct by AJ means nothing to you? There is a difference between being a bad sportsman and punching someone in the face. So Barrett's just supposed to sit back and take AJ's antics? He could have been seriously injured for no reason at all. I'd take exception to it as well. Its a guy's career he's messing around with there.
