I'm not a fan of pitchers throwing at guys so I'm ok with this. He gives up back to back dingers, IIRC the 3rd and 4th he'd given up in the game, and the next guy gets drilled.
Maybe it was an accident, but I have my doubts. He also didn't do himself any favors walking towards home plate the way he did. It looked aggressive for a guy who had accidentally just hit someone.
Love Manoah and I love his passion, but nobody should have to get hit with a 95+mph fastball because his team mates have done what they're supposed to do, and that's hit the ball hard.
