Uh, did LaRussa say where Morgan was gonna get hit and Ringelman said he's gonna stay in there and take it?
What's the PU to do? This guy's gotta get hit. No warning. That's it. After he gets hit no stuff happens with either team.
IMHO the very rare USC (in MLB) call and eject might have been a better way to go.

To quote LaRussa from the story that appeared on MB.com. "[Morgan] had a brain cramp. I appreciate the way they handled it. They handled it internally, and they made it clear that it was a mistake.
The Nats did what they had to do to defuse it. Guys make mistakes.
I made it a point not to say anything about it after the game. I didn't say a word.
They won't be throwing at anyone. If the Nats did not
"[do] what they had to do to defuse it", then it would have been a different story; and rest assured LaRussa would have
made it a point to say something about it after the game.
