HOWEVER, things do seem to be getting out of hand. I like the suggestion of the "home run penalty", but would award that only in the situations where, under current rules, pitchers and managers get thrown out of the game. Given the strength of most major league bullpens and the experience of most coaches, merely tossing out the pitcher and manager is pretty lame punishment.
