    So you've watched every one of these HBP by Twins pitchers and your takeaway is nothing to see here?

    Why am I not surprised.

    Yanier is the easiest out for this pitcher

    yainer, calm the fug down man. just because you're the DH doesn't mean you swing at every damn thing.

    You can pretty much throw Yanier anything and he'll swing at it. Sad.

    Why ever throw Yainer a strike?

    Yainer isn't insisting on a ball within a foot or two of the zone

    Yainer “zero plate discipline” Diaz strikes again.

    Yainer last HR June 7th. He had a HR in 4 straight games.

    Yanier doesn't have the plate discipline to be in the middle of the order protecting anybody but there's not a lot of options with Tucker out. Yanier has hitting talent but his free swinging is frustrating.

    I don't know why you're not surprised, but the answer to your 1st question is yes.

    I just don't see any intent or reason behind it.

    If you want to hit a guy you don't throw it at his ****ing knee and react like the Twins guy did. Yordan's a big dude, there's lots of easier places to hit him.
