Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 2660413, member: 2350"] Roger Clemens, Bronson Arroyo, Ryan Dempster ... It's an epidemic. "Since then, the Red Sox have outscored the Yankees in the beanball war, 337 to 264. " [URL="https://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/05/sports/baseball/red-sox-have-edge-over-yankees-in-beanball-wars.html"]Red Sox Have Edge in Beanball Wars[/URL] "That one instance came on June 9, 2011, when C. C. Sabathia hit Ortiz with a pitch in the top of the fourth. Somehow, in 809 plate appearances against the Yankees, in which he has hammered them with a .316 batting average, a .574 slugging percentage and 39 home runs, no other Yankees pitcher has bounced a baseball off his sizable frame." It's Red Sox SOP. Own it. [/QUOTE]
