This whole mess should have been dealt with via fines.
Woodford may have hit NC on purpose, but I doubt it. In 4 innings, the rookie has 4 BBs and 2 HBPs. It also seems unlikely that Wainwright would ask a rookie to do his dirty work. Nevertheless, NC had every reason to be upset and fired up and to then carry that energy to home plate when he scored. After scoring, Casty unquestionably taunted Woodford, an act that should never go unanswered by a veteran catcher. So, it didn't really bother me to see Yadi get heated and try to get in Casty's face. I would be supremely disappointed in Barnhart if he ever let Baez, Arenado, Yelich, etc. do to, say, Cionel Perez what Casty did to Woodford without a confrontation. But Yadi crossed the line when he got physical with Casty and the ump (although the ump jumped in between the two).
Disappointed that the league treats players like children who can't work stuff out on their own. No one should have been suspended, but if we are suspending people, I don't understand how Yadi evade punishment. Even if its just 1 game.

Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2
