Pitchers like Clemons and Martinez, while both being superb pitchers and competitors, cross the line often and put peoples' lives in jeapardy. They both need a good ass kicking in my opinion just to remind them that if they do head hunt they will have to defend their own head if they throw at the wrong guy at the wrong time. It's baseball.

i agree that hitters should be able to protect themselves and should charge the mound or whatever they feel is needed when its called for. but its like a guy getting hit in the thigh when its 2 out in the 9th inning and pitcher is throwing a no-no. the hitter is retard to think he is getting hit on purpose. now the score is 15-1 in the top of the 3rd inning and sure, you might have an issue. but for christ sake the hitters now just think everything they get hit its a big deal. just like ortiz last night.
