dswann- There was a warning to both benches after Guillen's antics.
I have no problem with the bunt. The way you win baseball games is to score runs. You can't score runs without getting on base. If you want to bunt to reach base, then bunt to reach base. Verlander is a fielder just like the other 8 teammates he has on the field. It's his responsibility to field his position the same as everyone else.
If Weaver didn't throw at the next batter, I would have lost a lot of respect for him. Carlos Guillen mocked the game of baseball and deliberately disrespected Weaver on the field. His actions were immature and inappropriate. I hope young players don't see what he did as being "cool". I also hope young players understand the purpose of Weaver's pitch to Avila and the meaning behind retaliating to defend your team and your integrity.
Good for Verlander for a well-pitched game. Good for Weaver for defending himself and his team. Guillen has some maturing to do.
