Richie Sexson’s decision to charge the mound on this “purpose” pitch from Kason Gabbard pretty much highlights his knowledge of the strike zone. Rangers’ announcer Tom Grieve might have dropped the quote of the year: “That is a gutless, 6-foot-7, .200-hitting, formerly good player.”The Placement Of That Pitch Has Vexed Me, Sir.

These are all real quotes that didn’t make it into the YouTube clip . Enjoy. As Sexson leaves the field : “If Kason Gabbard’s gonna hit anybody, he’s gonna hit one of their good hitters, he’s not gonna hit Richie Sexson… You got a chance to hit Ibanez, you got a chance to hit Beltre, two good hitters.

Perhaps the most infuriating aspect of the Texas Rangers’ 5-0 drubbing of the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field on Thursday evening - which marked their seventh victory in nine games and quietly edged their season record to 16-20, the closest the club has been to the .500 threshold since April 19th - is that buried beneath all the commotion and pandemonium of that needless brawl, there ...Seriously, Richie? Am I Missing Something??

OK, had to get something up on this. Just watched this highlight from last night's Rangers/Mariners game over at Deadspin and, quite honestly, I am still trying to figure out if I'm completely missing something. Briefly, I'm all for a good bench-clearing brawl. I don't want to see it disappear from the game. Hell, our tagline endorses such antics as old-school baseball. However, like ...Bring Me the Head of Big Sexy

The Seattle Mariners might as well go up to the plate without their bats right now, they might have a better chance. Mired in the midst of a 22 inning scoring drought nothing seems to be going right for the currently hapless M’s. Richie Sexson, a giant of a man, albeit one who is hitting .209 had a hunch he might get hit when he went up to bat in the 4th, after Felix Hernandez had ...Richie Sexson Needs a Mixed Tape
Posted 5/9/2008 on Three Idiots on Sports
The Mariners and Rangers got into pretty good last, culminating in a fourth inning, bench clearing brawl that started when Richie Sexson charged the mound after Texas pitcher Kason Gabbard threw him a pitch that was eye high ( Sexson is 6'8"). The problem was that the pitch wasn't even close to being inside. With that mastery of the strike zone, it's no surprise why Sexson is hitting .209 ...Richie Sexson Takes Umbrage, Has Bad Eyesight

Watch as Richie Sexson charges the mound after Kason Gabbard throws a pitch at his head, sparking a riotous brawl between the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers: Oh shit no, that pitch was nowheres near his head. And yet Sexson charged the mound, threw his helmet, and tackled Gabbard, probably sending the dainty pitcher back to the disabled list . Maybe all this renewed energy ...Sexson Should Be Suspended
Posted 5/9/2008 on Real Sports Bloggers
Well, last night’s game was interesting, wasn’t it. Seriously, Richie Sexson needs to be suspended. That pitch that Kason Gabbard threw at him last night wasn’t even close to hitting his mellon. And he went off. And using your batting helmet in a fight is kind of dirty. All in all, I’m disappointed that Gerald Laird didn’t try [...]What was Richie Sexson Thinking?

Richie Sexson instigated a bench clearing brawl after he was hit by a pitch, he was brushed back a pitch didn't come close to him. Kudos to The Big Lead for the find. Pitcher Kason Gabbard , who had just been reactivated, looked like a deer caught in 6'8" headlights.Yardwork: FIGHT!

Rangers 5, Mariners 0: Richie Sexson was hit by a pitch (read: the ball didn’t hit him and wasn’t even close to doing so) on a day when his team failed to score a run, so he felt compelled to brawl. Safe to say he was frustrated, perhaps because he’s not earning his pay. You can view the video right here . Rangers announcer Tom Grieve drops the quote of the night in the ...Mariners Richie Sexson vs Rangers Kason Gabbard Bench Clearing Fight
Posted 5/9/2008 on FanIQ Blog
We had't had a good bench clearing, batter storming the mound fight this year. Thanks to Richie Sexson's lunacy that's been corrected. Like these Rangers announcers, you'll have some trouble figuring out why Sexson charges the mound. The pitch doesn't hit him. You'll hear that broadcaster Tom Grieve isn't a big fan: "That pitch wasn't even close. That pitch is a foot ...Mariners vs Rangers Bench Clearing Brawl - Video

Tonight in Seattle, Richie Sexson charged the mound to attack Rangers pitcher Kason Gabbard on a ball that was over the middle of the plate and two feet away from being a called strike. He was anticipating contact following a couple of plunked hitters, including some obvious headhunting by King Felix Hernandez on Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler. Normally, I could care about baseball ...
