Why do people hate nyjer morgan

Who is the most hated athlete in sports? Nyjer Morgan of the Washington Nationals is trying to find out so he can beat them up and take the crown. After seeing his latest incident, you get the feeling that even his team doesn't know what to do with him. Go back and watch the brawl and you will see that there were only two Nationals fighting several Florida Marlins for a few seconds. You might think that it's because the Nationals were all in the dugout so it took them longer.

Time how long it takes them to get out to a brawl next time it's one of the guys that they like. You might not think most people hate the guy, but they do, because most of the public just remember him for his love of getting arrested and going to strip clubs. Combine the fact that he was a top draft pick for the Titans five years ago, is already on his third team, has been suspended by the league for a third of his career, and because of his alleged actions a man is paralyzed and you can see why he doesn't have many fans right now outside of Cincinnati.

Arguing with the opposition, arguing with umpires over balls and strike, intentionally stepping on the first baseman's foot when getting to the base But once he started lying about being on steroids even after he tested positive multiple times all bets were off.

Not smart on his part. He has a reputation to taunt opposing pitchers, argue with umpires and be very rude to the media. While his MLB playing career has seemed to come to an end, Ramirez is still fresh in the minds of baseball fans everywhere.

Oh, and his justification for all these actions? This one is a no-brainer. In other words, Morgan was obviously going to get beaned for injuring the catcher, but why did 2 of his teammates get plunked as well. Excluding pitchers. I was just curious about that. Different teams have different ways of going about it. In this case, Morgan was the obvious source for retaliation, since he was the one who committed the infraction.

The Morgan drilling was clearly intentional; the other two less so. Speaking as a Nats fan — and as someone who fully expected Morgan to get plunked, so my eyes were wide open — I did not believe the other two hit batsmen by Volstad were intentional.

I completely agree. Balls do sometimes get away, and Morgan was the only clear target in the lineup. Sanchez clotheslined Morgan after he hit Volstad, yet Sanchez escaped being ejected. So the next time Sanchez came up, he was plunked by Nats pitcher Doug Slaten, and both Slaten and Riggleman were ejected since by that point the umps had issued warnings to both benches.

Excellent points. Thanks for the contribution. Everyone expected the Marlins to retaliate in this game; were there pre-game warnings? Volstad hit two other batters prior to hitting Morgan. Volstad should have been ejected at least two innings prior to the brawl. Yes, Volstad and Morgan will both likely be suspended, but I think it is primarily the Umps fault that this brawl took place.

Volstad should have been ejected after hitting Morgan in the fourth inning, and maybe after hitting either Gonzalez or Nieves prior to that. Umpires will frequently grant teams the leeway to get in an appropriate retaliatory shot. Then Morgan had to go steal two bases, and hostilities were renewed. That was the moment for the umpire to step in, and the brawl precluded it, at least for a few minutes. Phillips was appropriately dealt with during his next at-bat by Bautista, with a ball to his ribs.

Bautista was immediately tossed, and should have been, without any warnings ever given. Volstad should have been give warnings by the Umps when he hit the other two batters intentional or not and tossed when he hit Morgan. I love watching the fights, but I hate it when they happen…. I also disagree with you that it is against the unwritten rules to steal when down by 11 in the 4th inning.

Because of the steals, he eventually scores on a sacrifice. The Rockies won that game…. One last note…. It was wrong, I fully agree, but he bumped the guy. As I said in this space before, the unwritten rule regarding stealing a base when down by a wide margin is more tactical than moral. The notion is to play as risk-free on the basepaths as possible, because every runner counts and outs are at a premium. Regardless, the Marlins were upset less at the stolen bases than the intent behind them.

Morgan was sending a clear message, and that message was received. Volstad is ultimately responsible for ensuring that members of the opposition do not take shots at his club. In my mind, when it comes to maintaining respect in his own clubhouse, he did the right thing. I was at the game that sullyzz is talking about with Batista.

Everybody in the stadium new Philips was going to get hit. Let him get hit and take his base and move on. Then issue the warnings. I felt that it was an example of how MLB tries to squash the unwritten rules an provide an incentive for things to fester.

I felt that the ejection of Batista was more Heave Ho Joe West and crew trying to interject themselves into the game again. Umpires have different methods for dealing with these things. I, too, get annoyed at itchy trigger fingers, and appreciate when they have the foresight to let the Code take its course, but stop it before it becomes excessive.

Volstad-Morgan is a perfect example. It was known that Morgan would be drilled — should be drilled — and that scenario was allowed to run its course. I had to google T-Plush to find out this was him. More Options. Dr Leo Spaceman. Is he trying to be the ochocinco of baseball?

He loves to say the word "fuck", apparently. That's what I took away from the post game. GRR Spartan. Check out SI.
