I was just wondering wat u guys think about throwing inside and hitting batters and a Major leauge level. If u saw ne of the bean balls thrown this week thats wat i mean... Like when hattersburg came to the plate after chavez's homer and was beaned by a pitch... i was wondering wat u would do and wat u think about it
Ted Willams said before he was about to die... " If I had do it all over again I would hit more and weight train more"

At the major league level it's just part of the game......Pitching inside, retaliation has been going on forever. The players know it, and the Umpires know it....
I can't tell you what I would do about it since I am not a ML Umpire. Its a circumstance I will never find myself in.
I can only relate to you that in the levels I call, I believe the pitcher has a right to pitch inside. However, that being said, I can not nor will I ever allow retaliation.
