Calls Mount for Punishment After Dangerous Incident During Braves-Giants
Calls Mount for Punishment After Dangerous Incident During Braves-Giants originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Francisco Giants vs. Atlanta Braves game was interrupted Friday after a dangerous incident involving a fan during the fourth inning. Advertisement The Giants ultimately took the 5-4 win in extra innings thanks to a walk-off wild pitch by Atlanta, but that wasn't the lowlight of the night, at least judging by social media. In the top of the fourth inning with San Francisco leading 3-0, a sacrifice fly to right field plated Atlanta's first run after an unsuccessful throw to the plate from Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski. During which, a second baseball could be seen landing on the field from high above, just feet away from striking home plate umpire Andy Fletcher, who was in position to make a call.

Advertisement "It came from the upper deck," his on-air partner responded as the Oracle Park home crowd began booing loudly. "Some clown threw the baseball on to the field." A post by Jomboy Media on Saturday suggested that this situation may have stemmed from a question a fan recently posed on the "SFGiants" Reddit. It reads, "Help me settle an ongoing debate I've had for years: Can the average male throw a ball from the view reserve seats (Section 315) all the way down to home plate?" Notably, a follow-up thread titled "Alright, which one of ya knuckleheads put this to the test?" emerged before Friday's game ended. Speaking to reporters after the game, Giants infielder infielder Tyler Fitzgerald called the act "dangerous," while manager Bob Melvin added it was "extremely odd," according to NBC Sports Bay Area. Advertisement Fans on social media were quick to call for punishment to be handed down on the person responsible for the throw. "I hope they found the idiot and he is jailed tonight then banned for life," a fan commented on X. "Lifetime ban," another echoed. "I have never seen that before in a baseball game," a fan wrote. "Whoever threw that ball from the stands onto the field during the play like that in the Giants Braves game is straight up going to jail. That was insanely dangerous." "ban him for life," someone else said. "if you do this, you should be banned across the MLB," argued another fan. "A FAN IN THE GIANTS BRAVES GAME JUST THREW A BALL AT HOME FROM THE STANDS DURING A PLAY AT THE PLATE," another posted on X, garnering over 2.9 million views.

Giants trade struggling 1B/OF LaMonte Wade Jr. and cash to Angels
Associated Press ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels acquired veteran first baseman and outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. and cash from the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. The Angels will send cash or a player to be named to San Francisco for the 31-year-old Wade, who had been with the Giants since 2021. The team designated him for assignment last Wednesday. Los Angeles right-hander Michael Darrell-Hicks was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster. Wade batted .167 with one homer and 15 RBIs for the Giants this season, his struggles culminating with a 2-for-17 performance on the team's most recent road trip. Wade hit a career-high .260 last season, and he gained a reputation in San Francisco for clutch late-game performances. The Angels currently have Nolan Schanuel at first base and six outfielders on their major league roster, but some have position flexibility. Angels general manager Perry Minasian and Giants general manager Zack Minasian are brothers. ___ AP MLB: recommended
