is Miguel hurt?

Disagree, but that's not the point. If you're GONNA throw your helmet, don't look like Cindy Brady when you're doing it.

Huh? If you're going to charge the mound after getting hit on a clear mistake (not even a fastball), I can only fault Youk for not skipping out to the mound.

Yeah, what a pathetic charging of the mound by Youkilis.
He looks like he outweighs Porcello by about 40 pounds, has a full running start, and throws his helmet, and yet he gets body slammed by a 20 year old stringbean kid a few years removed from puberty.
The guys in the clubhouse have to make fun of him for that.

That's a bad break with the ejection. Doesn't get thrown out if Youk doesn't come after him. Not sure it should be like hockey and send both guys to the locker room. I guess if a pitcher just stood there with his hands behind his back and let the guy clobber him, he would still get thrown out for the pitch. Baseball "fights" are pathetic. If your not gonna punch someone, don't waste our time.

It's a terrible call and it just kills the Tigers. Awful.

What a cheap way to get a win. No chance with Lambert on the mound now. Leyland won't (and shouldn't) blow his whole bullpen because of some dbag move by a retawd.Jerry Seinfeld should break his thumbs again.

Is there a debate Porcello didn't do it on purpose? He threw it at his back. Miggy has been hit twice in the series. Granted, in this game the pitch that hit him didn't look to be on purpose, but I think it's enough to know Porcello was throwing at Youk.

Really hard to know, imo. Sox announcers are divided on it. Personally, I don't think he was. If he was, he did a piss-poor job of it.It's a lot to expect from 20 year olds, but they have to know the situation there. With prior events, hitting Youk in the middle of the back was bound to get the attention of the umps. Of course, Youk overreacted a tad.... but you have to consider the night before as well as tonight.

Are they divided on if YOOOUUKK is an ugly chick, or just a cowardly dude?

Why the #### would we do that? That sorry ##### Youka#### got our starting pitcher ejected and we had to bring on what is essentially a tripla A pitcher. If you don't understand how that effects the game you are as dumb as Wilked, [i####] and the rest of the absolute shameless and obtuse fan base who follow this ball of #### known as the Red Sux.

I will say I am very dissapointed at Youklis' effort. He had a golden opportunity. The Detroit catcher noticed he was charging the mound after he had a 3 second head start. I have seen many hitters charge the mound, and I don't think I have ever seen a catcher with a slower reaction time. The catcher had to know the possibility of this happening after what went on yesterday from the coward known as Edwin Jackson (who after Youklis charged and , after people were already restraining him, tried to play the "hey look at me, I want to fight, now that the opportunity is over!"). Be that as it may, Youk, if you are going to throw your helmet throw it, don't toss it like you are a slow pitch softball pitcher. Then the helmet distracted Porcello, perfect opportunity to lay him out, and not only do you give him a hug, Porcello tosses you to the ground!!!! Bad.

Might as well put this besides some regular season wins now just like we put it next to the two World Series titles. Can this team win anything without cutting corners? I'll go ahead and say no.

You say certainly? Like no chance?

If Porcello didn't throw at Youklis the Tigers wouldn't be in this mess. Dumb move on Porcello, although obviously it wasn't his call. And if you are going to hit someone, hit him.

Typical dumb Red Sox fan. Note to self, add Mr Jimmy to the very long list. :findsnotebook:

Very little chance.Look- Tazawa is the biggest dear-in-the-headlights I've seen in a long time. Besides it probably not even occurring to him, look at the pitch again. Notice his lack of control all night. I really doubt Tazawa was throwing at Cabrera.I'm mixed on Porcello's pitch. I just don't know. The circumstances were certainly there for him to drill Youk, but if he was throwing at him, he really did a poor job.Youk was an idiot, I've not said otherwise.Agreed that nobody wants to see a SP thrown out so early- just makes for a crappy game on both sides.But this all really depends on Porcello's intentions. I'd guess he didn't throw at Youk on purpose, but who knows?

Don't worry about it - he's already gone. It's one of those nights. A Bosox win & Fever Pitch split screen, a bag of Cheetos & some lube...heaven.

Anyone saying that?

Tomorrow Lambert should start and fire it at youk's head in the 1st. Youk will be gone, Beckett will be tossed in the top of the 2nd for not being able to help himself, and the Tigers can bring in Porcello to pitch to the next batter.
Seriously I'd do just that tomorrow.

Once again, Keith Law is the voice of reason:
Youkilis, umpires at fault in Tigers-Red Sox brawl
There are two real culprits in this Tigers-Red Sox mess, when a brawl broke out in the bottom of the second. First is Kevin Youkilis, who showed once again that he can't keep his emotions in check by charging the mound without a moment of hesitation after he was hit by a pitch. Tigers starter Rick Porcello backed off and raised his hands as if to ask why Youkilis was rushing the mound. Those of us in the scouts' seats had the same reaction. Porcello looked like he was in for a dominant outing, sitting 91-94 with great sinking life, and had a three-run lead.
He had a win in his sights; was he really throwing at Youkilis, or was it another two-seamer that ran too far to his arm side? Youkilis had probably already decided he wanted some pretense for charging the mound (maybe to get Porcello out of the game?) and he should be suspended for acting like a fool.
The other culprit is the umpiring crew, and while some responsibility has to fall on home plate umpire Brian O'Nora, it's time MLB took a more serious look at Tuesday's first base ump and crew chief, Jerry Crawford.
This is Crawford's second major incident of the month, after Friday's egregious blown call and subsequent outburst against Arizona manager A.J. Hinch. While Crawford has yet to sink that low during this game -- the night is still young as I type this -- the crew's decision to toss Porcello after he hit one batter with a three-run lead and no warning in effect was incompetence at best and cowing to a hostile Fenway crowd at worst. Crawford's involvement in two on-field blowups, both featuring bad umpiring decisions, calls into question his fitness to umpire major league games, especially ones with playoff implications like Tuesday's.
Youkilis was the fifth batter plunked in this series through 10-plus innings. Miguel Cabrera was hit twice, once in each game, although Junichi Tazawa was struggling badly with his command and almost certainly didn't intend to hit Cabrera, while Brad Penny most likely did mean to hit him the night before. To suddenly decide "that's enough" after Porcello hit Youkilis without any prior warning reeks of pandering to the home crowd. Even if that wasn't a factor, it showed very poor judgment on the part of Crawford and his crew.
