Interesting. What did you call it when pitchers threw bats at players running to first base?
Apropos of nothing, Saturday's events demonstrate one of the many reasons why the designated hitter rule should be eliminated. Make Pedro or Roger* or [insert name of American League pitcher here] stand in the batter's box, and much of this nonsense will go away.
*I note that Roger's pitch to Manny was barely off the plate, and that Manny was reacting to what he was expecting from Roger, not what Roger did. Nonetheless, Roger does throw at heads every so often.
