May 9, 200818 yr A high pitch that really wasn't that close to him caused Sexson to charge the mound and on his way to the mound he decided to throw his helmet at the pitcher, then tackled him to the ground. It was a pretty good tackle I must say! I believe it was more about the Mariners being pretty bad offensively instead of a high pitch, but that's just me. Sexson has already appealed the suspension.
May 9, 200818 yr Probably deserved it. He went mental over something that wasn't even close. Not even almost.
May 9, 200818 yr At least he admitted right after the game that he was wrong and just snapped. I think it was just the added frustration of the year they're having along with the already hit batters in the game. He even said throwing the helmet was a chicken poop thing to do.

That was the best part to me, just hilarious. :lol:
May 9, 200818 yr Author That was the best part to me, just hilarious. :lol: I guess he figured it would help him get a better shot on the pitcher, in which it did! I will way that it was good that he at least admitted his wrong doing instead of putting it off on someone else or on something else.
May 9, 200818 yr It was very high, but not tight at all. Throwing the helmet was absurd, though. He went from enforcing the rules of baseball to looking like a nutcase. This is one of those events that will stick with him.

With his .209 average he was probably hoping he threw at him so he could 1) get on base and 2) finally hit something...
May 10, 200818 yr Bad decision and an interesting event to say the least, but I think 6 is too many. He will get this knocked down IMO.

May 11, 200818 yr Too many? I don't think so for the type of pitch it was. He had no reason to charge the mound. Suspension got reduced to 5. While better than 6 I would have thought 4. Apparently it was too many...
