What are you talking about a pansy?  99% chance any of us get hit with that fastball in the back we are down for the count, let alone the go out to tackle somebody.

Listen there is so much that goes into a baseball fight, thats why there are almost never any good ones.  Youk is driving the guy in between first and second base so there are two Tigers players there that are gonna try and get him, then the catcher tailing him.  Meanwhile why is it a pansy move to throw your helmet but not to throw a ball at somebodies back after missing the guy you tried to hit the inning before and then holding your arms out like , "What did I do?" when the guy is charging at you?

Well thats how Baseball fights work.  Except for the rare occasion.  And like i said in my thread questioning whether or not these sox have what it takes.  This team no longer has guys like trot, Damon, Gabe, and Bellhorn that like to mix it up.  I am very grateful that Youk stood up for himself and for the team to an extent.  Agree to disagree that he didnt want to fight.  I mean you tell me, Somebody throws at you with the intent to injure you, because their player just got hurt.  He has only hit one previous batter this season and it happened to be you.  You dont think he wouldnt want to fight that guy if he wasnt about to get pummelled by the entire Tiger team?

Yeah but I mean...he got flopped.

Play 7-9 seconds. you can literally see him stop trying to do anything but hang on. He wanted to go through the motions, not actually do anything.

Ok Ive watched the video many times and I just disagree.  I think he definitly wanted to fight and I think its more physics as to why he went down first rather than he got flopped.
