Disagree. He specifically had been warned already then said stuff and got in a player's face. Should have been gone. But I think we deserved a lot of what we got last year and I can see why it continued into this year.
If you're warned by the umps to stop the chirping, and yet you continue to chirp, I call that stupidity. His stupidity got him tossed. I'm not against people being punished for being stupid.Respectfully disagree that he was “in his face.” They were running in opposite directions.
I’m more comfortable with smack talk than most baseball people. If baseball players talked like football or basketball or even hockey players, there wouldn’t be enough pearls in the world to meet the clutching demand.
