The incidents began after the Nationals took a 7-2 lead after four innings. With the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth, Jayson Werth swung at a 3-0 pitch, starting Quirk's shouting to Porter. Crew chief Jerry Layne said Quirk was "screaming out obscenities (to Porter and) I just felt that was inappropriate and that's what caused everything."

Porter left his coaching box and walked over to the dugout steps, screaming at Quirk.

Quirk declined to comment, but plans to defend himself strenuously during Major League Baseball's investigation.

"You're up 7-2 … you don't swing 3-0 in that situation," Clevenger said.

Do not steal third while up five in the seventh (against the Red Sox)

how DARE someone not hit into a shift http://espn.go.com/dallas/mlb/story/_/id/11237346/colby-lewis-texas-rangers-problem-colby-rasmus-bunt

Is Lewis really sure that he wants someone to "swing the bat" against his pitching?

wow that's the dumbest one yet

like unwritten rules do exist in baseball and generally they shouldn't be broken. but that's not one of them
