Another point -- the thing that started the whole mess, the pitch by Perez, was not an accident. The Braves were obviously getting back at Wiggins for "showing them up" (in their eyes) by bunting for singles and stealing bases in the previous game. This happened to Ricky Henderson during his record-setting season, which is something I've never understood -- if the guy's good enough to steal on your team, more power to him -- who cares what the score is?
