[Vision2020] Poor Sportsmanship

[Deacon James]

Scott,

Suspension? That's taking unwritten rules a bit far, don't you think?

Initially, I felt it was cheap as well. However, it was the beginning of the
6th inning in a 1-0 game. A no-hitter through 5 is nothing. Hardly a week
goes by without a pitcher achieving that.

I think the argument stands if the D-Rays were down by 5 in the 8th; at that
point the game would be out of hand. In a one run game just over half-spent,
you can't fault Zobrist at all. In my opinion, he was doing whatever he
could to get on base, and he ought to be applauded.

Take care,

Deacon
