  Honestly, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I used to pitch in HS, and it was clear all Burnett tried to do was clear Cruz off the plate, due to Cruz's homer earlier. Bad call by the MLB.

    I saw this game and actually think it was slightly more than that. Padilla on the Rangers deliberately nailed Tex twice. Burnett came back and defended his teammate. He did it once to make a statement. Both teams were warned and that was the end of the matter. That's baseball. I do agree though it was a bad move by MLB 'cause this stuff happens all the time and plenty worse that goes un-noticed. Not sure why the are singling thing one out.

  It was a message and nothing more. After the warning, nothing else happened. MLB is setting a bad precedence. It's one that they can't consistently enforce. Was Padilla suspended?

  I don't understand Your all star hitter get dwinged twice and the picture gets a warning and then one pitch near the head of a so so player is 6 games and $ 2,000, really come on MLB just is trying to act as if they care. It the part of the game, quite making baseball a wippy sport!
