May 2, 200620 yr Martinez fined Major League Baseball fined Carlos Martinez $500 for what head of discipline Bob Watson termed "overly aggressive gestures" after a strikeout of Marlon Anderson in an April 16 game against the Nationals odd, if anything Anderson should have been fined. And WTF is $500, thats nothing, even to a rookie
May 2, 200620 yr I didn't even know he did something wrong. I thought he just pumped his first or something along those lines.
May 2, 200620 yr If anything Marlon Anderson should be fined for being a whiner and almost starting a fight.
May 2, 200620 yr Intersting. If fine's like that were handed out to everyone Julian Tavares would be going broke. eh...maybe not.....$500 an appearance for Tavares and he still has plenty left over.
May 2, 200620 yr Looks like old Frank's still got some pull in the MLB discipline office Should start fining all those hitters who flip their bats and/or watch their homeruns go out too then.
May 2, 200620 yr Not to hate on our guy or anything, but I did think at time Carlos's effusiveness was a tad much, especially for a rookie. But to fine him for it? That's baloney.
May 2, 200620 yr But the thing is, he had done it before and no fines. Marlon Anderson throws a hissy fit and he gets fined.
May 2, 200620 yr But the thing is, he had done it before and no fines. Marlon Anderson throws a hissy fit and he gets fined. Right; the fine is baloney. Some players just have more pull than others, I guess.
May 2, 200620 yr I wonder if Manzy ever got fined for his ridiculous actions...or AA for that matter. This makes no sense. He must have said something to Byrd that we don't know about.
May 2, 200620 yr Ya I read this in the paper and I literally LOLed. WTF is a 500 dollar fine? Did the commisioner's office need a new cappuccino machine or something?
May 2, 200620 yr Or Beckett for teasing Howard...or did he now? Well I remember ol' Bulldog pumping his fist and cursing when he struck out a bunch of guys and he never got fined. This is all mielda haha
