Believe in karma? San Francisco Giants catcher was itching for a fight in the Shane Victorino\Phillies brawl and wasn't suspended for his role even though he was very physical and tackled Placido Polanco. Less than two weeks later he give himself a concussion sliding into second base at Atlanta. Brilliant!!
Baseball management also showed once again they have no teeth when they dropped Victorino's suspension from three games to two. Has any player actually served the original punishment handed out? The players union shows they have the real muscle.
While I'm at it I have one more rant. The other night on MLB network Harold Reynolds confirmed something I have long suspected. He said there is an understanding that if a play is close the umpires will call the player out. If a player makes a swipe tag and is in the general area it is an out. I've noticed it on several plays at first. Reynolds claimed that if players made max effort it would lead to more injuries. C'mon! He is actually taking it down to the level of Sunday league softball and neither side is really doing their job. Please don't make baseball a joke!
