I thought what Phillip Wellman did was absolutely dead wrong. You can list all of the individual things he did (charging the PU, throwing his hat, etc.) but the grenade toss was the ultimate embarrasment. It showed that he'd been thinking about something like this for a while. You never saw Weaver or Martin or in today's time Bobby Cox do something like this. They argue, they cuss, they toss their cap; that's all within the realm of what's accepted (I don't mean it won't earn them an EJ only that it's not out bounds when it comes to a suspension).
My guess is that Schuerholz either fires him or suspends him for a while after this.
Go to the game report on Milb.com. Brent Rice, the PU, got three more Braves players in the game including ex-NCSU pitcher (my alma mater) Joey Devine. Would have liked to have seen those on the footage also.
