Babe Ruth is at this moment rolling over in his grave. <edit> LOL I get the headlock reference now, a little late but I remember seeing that "incident" on youtube while looking for hockey fights one time.

Yes, that's modern baseball. I don't really like it but I doubt it will change. Teams carry like 12-13 pitchers so they just have such a quick hook. They also have pitchers that are worth tens of millions of dollars so they are trying to overprotect them. I wonder what Nolan Ryan would have done if someone tried to take him out in the sixth when he had a one hit shutout going. I think the manager may have ended up in a headlock.
