Gathright was sliding into home in the eighth inning when he was tagged out by the often-hot tempered Tavarez, who stepped on the outfielder’s right arm. Gathright, still on the ground, then used his left forearm to push Tavarez’s left knee.
Before Gathright got up, Tavarez struck a blow in the area of Gathright’s left jaw, and players flocked in from the benches and bullpens. No other players appeared to throw punches, and order was restored after a few minutes.
Yeah.... Brilliant..... Hit him with your pitching hand......

That was him? Oh, great..... Just a matter of time until he's on the disabled list with a busted hand.

He is also the same guy who was thrown out of a game last season for having too much pine tar on his hat, then he asked the umpire to go out for drinks after the game.... between him and Rudy Seanez who trains with Ultimate Fighters in the off-season, this should be an interesting year.
- - “If it doesn't work out there will never be any doubt that the pleasure was worth all the pain.”
thinking a straight left from Gathright to the family jewels would have made Tavares a bit more hesitant to step on someone's arm again. It's not like there wasn't going to be a fight already, might as well make him remember it..
you noticed that it looks more like a slap than a punch too, eh?
If you think about it, he's probably retained one shred of common sense and is trying to protect his pitching hand. If he delivers a normal punch, the chances of breaking a bone in his hand increase significantly....

well shoot, then he might as well go for the open-handed slap... or an elbow. This way, I am thinkin' he needs a good spearing..
