He was aiming for his bat, thats what legends do

[Ian]

Lol, I love how he's just like, "K".

[Scottgarcia]

It's hard to tell. Even with going frame by frame and zooming it way up, if Bartolo's eating chocolate cake or if he's chewing. But the pitch was a strike.

[Geo]

Pretty sure that's a strike..it hit the bat

[Rosco]

Big sexy cant be thrown out the umpire can only postpone his legacy

[cjk]

Bartolo when he was 270 years old and 180 lbs. Now he's 440 years old and 285 lbs.

You know this happened a long time ago when Bartolo Colon was young, skinny, and pitching for the Indians and Scott Servais was a player.

[subway]

In his head Bartolo was just like fuck this game I'm bouta go eat.

[solotx]

Threw a strike and got thrown out. Where they do that at?

[fluffynoses]

who is this skinny guy pretending to be Bartolo Colon?

lol just kidding

[ClevelandKaz]

Colon was never intimidated, always posed. And by watching this reply, although probably an intentional high heater, the ump got it wrong as it was clearly a foul tipped ball and a strike. You don't throw a pitcher out for one inside high pitch, although he could hurt someone with his 100+ heater. I started wearing #40 just because of him in 1998 and Bartolo is still throwing today.

you can't throw him out of the stadium, to heavy, you most bait a Snickers bar and entice
him from afar

[soothingsoundsoftheguru]

Damn..Bartolo shows no emotion at all.

[Cardinals]

can someone please tell me what the reasoning for colon throwing at servais in the game was

[Liminal]

Servais pretending to care, just like how he manages. Lol

[idkulilbro]

bro he is not bothered by it at all lol

[robashlicarrafa]

Damn, not sure who that dude was that came flying out of the dugout but he was pissed lol. Idk if he was the bench coach or what - thought Grady Little was the b.c. in 2001 - but he beat Cholly out to the mound and was laying in to that ump. Something had to be going on prior to this at bat bc Sexy didn't even flinch when he got the boot.

Was Colon called Big Sexy when he played in Cleveland? Because I remember they used to call Richie Sexson "Big Sexy" too...
