if the braves had thrown at the next guy or at Gomez later, that would be coming down to his level.

they just responded in the heat of the moment to someone that looked like he was trying to get into a fight.

Mccann should be commended for not throwing a punch at him in the baseline, I bet it took all he had to not jack Gomez.

I'm not going to hate on McCann for what he did, but I just don't think it was necessary. Gomez looked like a fool and was trying to bait Maholm. There was not going to be any fight because Maholm basically just gave him the "whatever kid" treatment. McCann took the bait. In the heat of the moment I can understand it so I'm not going to be too critical, but he wasn't "protecting" anybody.
