team is going to rush the mound and throw haymakers. A lot of times the pitcher is ordered to throw it. It's the not always the pitcher who got showed up. It's baseball. It's just how it's played. It's like trying to take the fighting out of hockey. If you don't like it don't watch it. it's also not black and white. I don't agree with every pitcher. There are a lot of hot heads and nancies. I thought mad bumb was wrong the other day. But there are certainly times when messages need to be sent. Watch Gomez in this video. Can you imagine baseball having to put up with this crap every night? McCann was absolutely right to stop him from touching home plate. i don't mind plunking Gomez next time up.
