99% of the time that a player charges the mound, it's a bullshit move. I still remember when Reggie Sanders charged the mound after Pedro Martinez hit him with a pitch on an 0-2 count. At the time Martinez was pitching a perfect game, and it was in the 8th inning. There's no ****ing way Martinez hit Sanders on purpose, yet there was Sanders trying to prove what a man he was by charging the mound.
Like I said in an earlier post, I despise Zack Greinke. But in this case I agree with Mattingly: Carlos Quentin should be suspended until Greinke pitches again. That might make assholes like him think twice before they charge the mound.
