I agree 100%. The umps have taken the ability for the pitchers to throw inside away. They are so fast to warn people after a guy gets hit, that it compromises the pitchers from throwing inside. Also some of these guys that get hit have to realize that it is part of the game and the pitcher isn't trying to end your career. Just take your damn base instead of inciting a riot. That's the real problem, if guys weren't so fast to charge the mound then people would not have to be warned and then pitchers could pitch inside at will. So basically the pitchers can't pitch inside at risk of a steel cage match breaking out!
