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.

I've never felt sorry for folks who crowd the plate. hell, I even said it last night against OUR team. While there are always a few exceptions, I think folks know who's doing what and why. And I'm OK with plunks as long as the plunkers have to add some skin to the game within the game.
That being said, anytime Zach gets his ass mauled, it's a good day for the planet. Never a more deserving Mamma's-boy paying-up to Karma! **** him, I hope somebody breaks his pussy-ass jaw upon his return - just for looking at him... Zach's Mom still has two tits for him to cry into (some more)!
