I agree.

Am I the only one that thinks this got blown out of proportion in a hurry? Yeah, Z was being Z...and he did something stupider than usual <b><i>IF</i></b> he called out D-Lee. You can see that he walks past Lee without directing anything at him and starts yelling at no one in particular after he's passed Lee. He turns and keeps yelling as he paces back the other direction. But who knows what he said that Lee was responding to when Lee told him to STFU. It could have been any stupid-ass thing. We'll probably never know. So then he gets in Lee's face...they separated and Z got marched up the tunnel. He was probably told to cool off and he did...and returned to the dugout and Lou patted him on the leg...it looked like things had settled down. So what happened after that? When did Z get sent home? It didn't look like Piniella was escalating it.

Piniella is quoted about Z needing to apologize to his teammates. That seems reasonable.

Then Hendry pulls this.
