this mess is starting to get crazy, I guess now if you are losing and the pitcher is really dealing and you want him out of there, you hit one of their batters and you know that he is going to hit yours and get kicked out.
let me know what you guys think?

I think sometimes too many players OVERREACT to getting hit. I know it hurts and they don't want to get hit but they take it way to personal like its against the law or something. Its part of the game deal with it.

what happened to the days like when don baylor and dusty baker, just to step up there and get plunked, that it and trot to first... when I was in HS, and we were down I coach used to tell us not to be afraid to take one for the team, auctually we used to have drill how to turn into it get hit on the rear or something like that. no chin music though, you had to drop to the ground...lol

May 21 The Associated Press reports Chicago White Sox SP Bartolo Colon has been suspended five games for hitting Baltimore Orioles 2B Jerry Hairston with a pitch on May 15, after both benches were warned. It's unknown at this point if he will appeal.
it was after someone on the sox was hit the inning prior.

Manuel looks like he won't last long in Chicago. He's been tossed more times this year than the last 5 years combined.

Who is? Colon? Five games is a lot, a missed start.
