Why are pitchers allowed to routinely have temper tantrums after poor performances leading to broken hands?
First of all, pitchers throwing punches with their pitching hand should be suspended without pay until they heal. I know it would never happen, but its ridiculous to watch pitchers go on IL for hand injuries they caused. Huascar Ynoa punched a wall, but Jesus Luzardo's tantrum was because of a video game! Something must be done.
How about punching bags nearby? Would that be as satisfying as punching a wall, or more? A heavy bag in every clubhouse could save some pitchers from themselves.
I think it's a poor message to send that you can neglect your biggest asset, the arm they're paying you for, with no consequences. Curious to hear other suggestions.
