And as I see the schedule, if there's no appeal, Quentin could be back 4/23. OK!! We'll se when Zach does.

That is exactly the problem. And it's why I doubt the MLB lets Quentin off light.

And even though the big ****ing PUSSY (and not much of a fighting man!) Zach is in the NL, perhaps it's time for all of baseball to put pitchers next to the plate (WITH A MANDATE FOR THEIR PITCHING ARM TOWARDS THE MOUND!!!) to add an interesting twist to the whole plunking and retaliation game.

So it's okay for a hitter to crowd the plate and force the pitcher to throw only outside pitches. The system works fine. If anything, the system is too tough on pitchers. If you throw behind a hitter, you get tossed. If you throw inside, you're trying to establish position and if a hitter wants to crowd the plate, he should expect the pitcher to brush him off. I don't want a baseball league where a pitcher is afraid to move a guy off the plate. If the MLB isn't going to enforce batters crowding the plate, then that's the pitcher's job.
