A Knockdown Pilch a purpose Pilch an intimidation Pilch a Bru Shunck Pilch sometimes simply an inside Pilch. Whatever the semantics it s a dangerous pitch. Thai danger has exploded into nine Bench Clearing my ices already this season six in the american league three in the National league. After four had occurred in the american league during the first month the league president. Lee Macphail. Issued a directive to cease and desist. Butt Oda s later Jim Spencer of the Yankees after having been plunked on the left Elbow wanted to dismember Dave Rajsich the Texas rang ers left hander. And last weekend buddy Bell and Johnny Grubb usually two of the More courteous rangers charged at the Mound where Bruce Kison of the California Angels was wearing his most angelic look. Such scuffles usually develop across the Long hot summer of a Pennant race. But Why have there been so Many so soon this season there is no one answer but several theories exist. One the threatened labor strike had the players up Light earlier than usual. Two because of their million Dollar contracts More pitchers arc aware of their performance More Hillers arc aware of their health. Three More pitchers arc throwing inside. Four it s just one of those things that will balance out As the season progresses. But the thing that s different this year Macphail says is the Hitler trying to Lake things into his own hands More  Ever since the american league instituted the designated Hitler in 1973, a Pitcher suspected of throwing a Knockdown Pilch has been Able to hide behind the Coal tails of the Rule by which he never had to go to Bat. Hence he never had to risk a retaliatory Knockdown pitch. Knowing that. American league batters seem quicker now to gel even personally by charging the Mound. You re always worried about gelling hit in the Dove Anderson  Reggie Jackson says. I know. I be been hit in the  Early this season the Yankee slugger had a scene after Jerry Koosman of the Minnesota twins had thrown close to him. Too close Loo re mindful of the night in 1976 when while playing for the Baltimore orioles a fastball thrown by Doc Ellis then with the Yankees smashed into Jackson s Rihl Check. It was the Mosi frightening thing that s Ever happened to me in  Jackson says. I was carried off the Field on a Stretcher. Even now four years later Parl of my Cheek is still  Long before Bailers wore helmets or the thin plastic liners inside their Caps that were popular three dec Ades ago Ray Chapman was killed in 1921 by a Pilch. Blancd by Carl Mays of the Yankees the Cleveland indians shortstop was taken to a Hospital where he died Early the next morning. One of the closest scares since Chapman s death involved Mike Jorgon san now of the mels who was with the mets last season when Andy Hassler. Then with the Boston red sox Blancd him. I had a preliminary exam at the Ballpark in Texas and Felt Fine he says now but then i began having headaches so i went into a Hospital where they discovered i had a Small blood clot inside my head. While in the Hospital i had a seizure that Cut off the oxygen to my brain for about three minutes. Another minute and i might have  health and livelihood that s what hitlers always talk Aboul. That s what Mike Schmidt the Phillies third baseman talked about last week after priming his Finger at Bert Blyn Cven the Pittsburgh pirates right hander who had thrown a fast Ball under his Chin. Schmidt remembered w77 when Bruce Kison. Then with the pirates had fractured his right ring Finger with a pitch. Bui in the National league the Pilcher goes to Bat. And last week when Blyleven came up two innings later Kevin Saucier of the Phillies drilled him in the ribs. If he s Given up a Home run or he s being Hil hard sometimes a Pilcher will let emotion overcome the Sci ence of  says Tommy John the Yankees left hander. Even in the science of it. You have to establish the inside portion of the plate As yours. Bui if you throw inside my. In seems that a lot of hitlers Are ready to  oddly the Only serious injury to develop from this season s melees is a dislocated shoulder suffered by Tony Larussa. The Chicago while sox manager. But Back in i96h when John was pitching for the while sox he had his left shoulder separated by Dick Mcauliffe the Detroit tigers scrappy infield or. Mcauliffe had ducked to avoid a pitch that John says now was Way Over his head not even close to  but Mcauliffe charged the Mound. Rather than punch him and maybe break my hand John recalls i tried to tackle him. I had my arms out and when he came in to me his knee got me in the left  John who had a 10-5 won loss record it the Lime pitched no More than season. And until his shoulder healed he worried that his career might be in jeopardy. But interestingly the night that Spencer had to be restrained from charging Rajsich the Yankees left Handor stood out near the Mound talking with the Young left Handor whom the Yankees traded to the rangers in the Sparky Lyle Deal. Why is he so excited Rajsich said. I was t trying to Hil  yeah John replied but Only two people know that you and  wild Only hire ires the car of French or incr Didler Piron lies abandoned on the grass of the Jarmom circuit outside time to retire Madrid in sunday s Pine Spanish grand prix.
