I didn't watch this game, but based on this article, it seems to me like the Umps have some explaining to do.It seems a little lopsided that Boston lost three acting managers and a player in all of the nonsense while Tampa Bay didn't lose anyone. Especially since Red Sox pitchers never actually hit a batter during Friday's game. It's all up to the umpire's discretion, though, so he obviously felt there was no intention behind Price's second hit batter. He also felt like Workman was sending a dangerous message to Longoria, so he reacted accordingly.
