None of the Sox asked Yermin, the designated hitter, to try to hit the ball because that’s what he’s paid to do. He’s there to entertain fans, not to ensure a bunch of well paid athletes don’t get their feelings hurt because they lost by too many runs. The funny thing is the biggest pussy in all this is Tony, who refused to protect his own player and begged the Twins for forgiveness. If anyone didn’t want to see a benches clearing brawl it’s him, probably because he knows half the league would love to whoop his ass the way Pedro beat up old man Zimmer.
