Cubs manager David Ross was asked to respond to Andrew McCutchen’s comments after the Brewers designated hitter was hit in the hip/backside by Keegan Thompson, sparking Saturday’s spirited gathering between home plate and first base.
To sum it up, McCutchen would have rather been hit on the first pitch rather than on a 2-1 count.
“Nobody likes to get hit,” Ross said. “Whether you did it on the first pitch or the last pitch, I don’t know that it ever feels good or anybody’s happy with it.”
Once again, Ross denied that Thompson hit McCutchen intentionally.
