    With respect to the rule, this is the first time I can ever remember something like this happening. Porter SHOULD have known the rule and he should be ashamed that he didn't. Moreover, the umpires should have known the rule and they should be appropriately fined or suspended.

    There is no need to change the rule. It has worked fine for decades.

    I'm still stunned about Porter and the umpires not knowing this rule correctly. I mean this is the rule that forced Tommy La Russa to allow he did not want to pitch in the World Series a few years ago resulting in them losing that game.

    Glad they suspended the umpires. MLB finally showing character?!?
