New York Mets reliever Yohan Ramirez and manager Carlos Mendoza are benched for three and one games, respectively, after MLB ruled Ramirez intentionally threw at Milwaukee Brewers' Rhys Hoskins during Saturday’s heated matchup. 🧢💥
The drama unfolded in the 7th inning of the Mets' 7-6 loss at Citi Field. Ramirez’s pitch sailed dangerously close to Hoskins, prompting an immediate ejection. MLB officials labeled the act as deliberate, sparking debate across the league. 🤔💬
Ramirez defended his move: \"I was aiming for a sinker inside… the cold messed with my grip.\" Both managers backed him, but Hoskins wasn’t buying it: \"Big-leaguers don’t miss by eight feet… Let’s play the right way.\" 🎯🗣️
With tensions high, the incident highlights baseball’s unwritten rules and how the sport polices itself. Stay tuned for updates as the Mets regroup! 🙌 #BaseballDrama
