$750? That's retarded.

Is this from MLB or kangaroo court?

"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."

Either they're missing a zero or this is the equivalent of fining me 10 bucks

Maybe he can save the money and just do like half a minute of community service.

If I were Kinsler I would send MLB a check myself, and punch Jenks in the face.

maybe they were getting hit for no reason because they never did anything to violate The Code and it was pure coincidence

maybe the Rangers shouldn't trade away their pitchers that know where they're throwing it.

"The article described Jenks as an immature alcoholic--perhaps even a racist--with little regard for his health and career. One story involved Jenks drinking on the team bus, then lighting his own skin on fire. Jenks denied accusations that he used derogatory terms when referring to his former agent."

"Scouts caught notice of the young pitcher's wide 6'3 frame and electric fastball, but questions lingered about his ability to cope with professional baseball after growing up in a secluded Idaho cabin"
