I just wanted some of your opinions on this.
Why not have a rule that states that if a batter charges the mound, any player leaving the dugout will be automatically be suspended for five games? Don't you think this would make a player think twice about going after the pitcher when at the very best he would be outnumbered nine to six (assuming that the bases are loaded and the two base coaches get involved)?
I know that some will say that this gives the pitcher a free shot at throwing at batters. This is not entirely true, because the umpire can still use his judgement and eject the pitcher.
