But that’s what happened in Monday night’s game in the top of the eighth inning. Cabrera stepped up to the plate. Ramos then threw a pitch over and behind Cabrera’s head. There was no shot that that pitch was not intentional — even those who don’t watch baseball could see that Ramos meant for it to be thrown there.
Cabrera almost charged the mound, but he was held back by Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp, who is quite the large man. You could even see Rupp looking at Cabrera and going “I know, I know, I know” while he was holding him back.
