Martin Hit Again
Chad Durbin hits Russell Martin with a breaking ball. That the second time he's been hit, and one other time the Phillies came close. With both sides warned, I'm surprised Durbin isn't out of the game. I thought that was automatic! I guess if the ump thought it was accidental, he doesn't have to chase the pitcher and the manager.
Why should he chase him? Martin deserved it after thowing at Utley once and Victorino twice.
yeah, he should have been run, the warning was issued. Are there not instances in the past where it probably was accident and the pitcher was still run?
