Remember last year when Masahiro Tanaka hit Joey Wendle with a 92 MPH fastball in the first inning of a random regular season game and Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash claimed it was intentional? In fact, he said it was “as clear as day.” What?
Then the New York Yankees really escalated things when closer Aroldis Chapman threw a blistering fastball over Mike Brosseau’s head.
