'Skins_&_'Stons Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 What the hell is the point of this? This is like a $.50 parking ticket for a normal civilian. :doh: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4161824 Jenks fined for throwing behind Kinsler ESPN.com news services Updated: May 12, 2009, 4:55 PM ET CLEVELAND -- Chicago White Sox closer Bobby Jenks has been fined for throwing a pitch behind a batter. Major League Baseball imposed the penalty Tuesday. It did not disclose the amount, however a source told ESPNChicago.com that Jenks was fined $750. Jenks sailed a fastball in back of Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers on Saturday. Jenks later said the pitch was intentional because he was tired of watching White Sox batters getting hit with no retaliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just typed in the figures into my Currency Converter, and you are about right - it's close to 53 cents to one of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 MLB had to fine him something as he actually admitted it was intentional. He wanted to send a message w/o drilling a guy in the ribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have a problem with it. He didn't throw at his head. He threw it behind the guy. But he's stupid to admit he was doing it on purpose.
