Text | In the ninth inning of Wednesday's game [in Baltimore], when there were men on bases, the manager directed Casey to strike at only the balls that come where he had called for them. Utterly ignoring this Casey almost put himself out by striking at the wildest kind of balls. The manager believed this to be only carrying out well devised plans on Casey's part, and determined to fine and suspend him, but afterward reconsidered his action. To release players for faults at this time in the season is more of a reward to them than a punishment, for it is the means of throwing them on a strong market where the lively competition is very likely to enhance their salaries. The only way to deal with determined obstinacy and willful misplaying is to fine, suspend or expel. |
