Charge the mound!

Nice work there Brantley. Anyone know if there was some past issue or if he just was upset with the location of the pitch?

Visit my baseball blog ...or else!

Apparently it was retaliation for a Lookouts player getting hit previously

He's extremely quick and good.

Trouble was imminent in the bottom of the fourth inning when Huntsville relief pitcher Patrick Ryan hit Tonys Gutierrez in the knee. Gutierrez had launched a grand slam off Stars starter Donovan Hand in the second inning to give the Lookouts an 8-2 lead, and Ryan had just allowed a solo shot to Danny Dorn before throwing at Gutierrez.
Ryan was up first against Lookouts starter Sam LeCure in the top of the fifth, and LeCure threw inside several times before allowing a walk. Michael Brantley was up next and, after dodging two inside pitches, lifted his bat at LeCure and walked toward the mound.
Lookouts catcher Craig Tatum pounced on Brantley, and the dugouts emptied. Sean Henry raced from center field to mix it up with Ryan at first base, while Lookouts second baseman Justin Turner and closer Carlos Fisher found themselves outnumbered after positioning themselves in front of Huntsville’s dugout.

He's extremely quick and good.

DiFelice injured

Sounds pitcher Mark DiFelice left Saturday’s game after two innings with an apparent but undisclosed injury. He was escorted to the clubhouse by trainer Jeff Paxson.

He's extremely quick and good.
