In the past, most of this type of stuff was "self policed" by the teams involved. As Pete said, in our current environment we would more than likely get involved as 'preventive' umpiring to make sure events didn't escalate.

I agree, what has happened to our game??

Many Thanks

Thank you all for your input. I appreciate everyone's opinion. I am ashamed to admit in the heat of the moment the thought of "self-policing" it did cross my mind for a millisecond, but I quickly came back to reality. I just reminded my pitcher that they must be worried about him because they are resorting to those tactics, so start the mowing. In retrospect, the added pressure made him a better pitcher and gave him that much more confidence.
