That's what happens when teams decide to go tit for tat in the beaning department. I could care less about the NY media and fans myself, but I do worry that some of this hyped up trolling of fans can lead to bad blood between batter and pitcher.
I like Jesse and like his style of play, but not everyone sees it the same way and pitchers have the ultimate weapon against a batter in the box, the bean ball. Players have been permanently injured that way. The last thing this team needs now is to have Jesse sent to the ER and see the possible end of his baseball career.
No I'm not fine with Winker getting beaned and to me Winker has done nothing wrong. The villain here is Mets Familia Monday Night. Winker isn't the first Red to get a hard time in New York. Joe Nuxhall hated to go to New York. Marty would kid Joe if he was going to do the town. Joe would say he was going from hotel to ballpark and can't wait for flight home. He said he hated going to New York. So I'm saying Winker has done nothing wrong. The Mets Famillia is the villain of the series, and now the NY Fans and Media for being a bunch of Jerks.
Game time is Noon on Fox Ohio. As Joe would say, Win the game, get on the plane, and no more regular season games at NY Mets in 2019. Just like Jack Lemmon Out Of Towners movie Nuxhall said he liked, get on the plane and get the hell out of New York. Sounds like the leaving part is best part of a trip to NY.
