Actually, I hope not. I would love that rumor to start circulating in dugouts across America. "You better knock down everything. The ump can get rid of you if you don't. It's a rule."

How about this.... F1 has been cruising and after a HR, he blows up? Not a very good pitcher, I guess. It's not for us to decide if F1 is having a problem or not. As I said, if he was cruising along and a HR results in a HBP, that is a problem that will go from simmer to boil quicker than you know.

I agree with a warning at any level and once the warning is given, the next hit batsman is a ticket out of the park.
