Delmon Young and Restless

According to MLB.com, Devil Rays top prospect Delmon Young is facing a potentially lengthy suspension after throwing his bat at an umpire’s chest during Wednesday night’s game at Pawtucket.

Young is the consensus No.1 prospect in all of baseball. Apparently, he didn’t agree with a third strike call, stayed in the batter’s box and glared at the umpire for about 30 seconds. After moving toward the dugout he was ejected, which prompted the soon to be infamous bat toss. First Josh Hamilton and now this, pretty crazy.

    I guess it wasn’t too forceful but this could easily be a year long suspension.

    This is up there with one of the worst acts that I have ever seen happen on the baseball field. That bat could have easily hit the umpires face injuring him badly. NEVER hit an official. I would have no problem with him getting a year long suspension.

    After seeing the tape, it was actually a harder throw than I thought it was going to be after reading about it. He’s getting at least a year off.

    He ought to be suspended for a game ot three, but This Bud’s for You does have the canenjos to do that. What part of sportmanship is it that the managers dont understand. Dont they know that kids are watching ? I have seen eight year olds do what they see Joe Girardi and Lou Piniella do. I sure hope they are proud of themselves.or why dont the teams suspend them ? I guess the youth is not important to them. I just hope THEIR kids turn out like that
