He was way low and outside on the second pitch - Posada just scooped it. The next pitch was wild the other way - a pretty common pattern when a pitcher loses the plate. The fourth pitch was the third wild pitch in a row - not the second - but the first was outside. If you think it the third wild pitch was intentional then you have to say the first wild pitch was setting up the second and third - and now you are starting to sound like a real conspiracy theorist. If barks like a dog, and walks like a dog - it's definitely not a duck. Why doesn’t anyone mention the wild pitch that preceded the two high and insides.

No fuss was made other than the announcers saying that Lowell, who was the next batter, better be alert at the plate. Joba's command just wasn't there. About Drysdale, before games he would (playfully?) ask opposing batters where they wanted to be hit, in the ribs, butt, or legs.

He was only pumped and was over pitching, you saw the same game we did. Bad analysis. Pete,

Thank you for posting that. As someone else pointed out, while it isn't the samething his father has been in a wheelchair for most of his life, I can't see him intentially throwing at someones head.
