The San Francisco Giants disgraced themselves on Tuesday night, throwing at an opposing batter for no reason and putting one of the faces of baseball in jeopardy as a result. This wasn't old-school, eye-for-an-eye baseball and there's no way to put a bow on it: It was trash baseball.

1. Last week, in that 16-inning game in Miami, the Marlins tied the score in the ninth off Strickland when rookie Lewis Brinson hit a tying sacrifice fly. Brinson, who has struggled all season, had a great nine-pitch at-bat and was excited for doing his job, shouting "Let's go!" even as the catch was made in deep center field.

Unwritten Rule No. 1: Don't celebrate sacrifice flies too enthusiastically.

2. On Monday, Brinson came up in the ninth inning against Strickland with the Giants up 4-3 and runners at the corners. Strickland's first pitch was up and in, an obvious message for the sac fly celebration. Brinson then singled to tie the score, slammed his bat down as he ran to first base and chirped a friendly word or two to Strickland.

Unwritten Rule No. 2: Rookies shouldn't act happy, even if a veteran throws a knockdown pitch at them.

3. Another base hit put Brinson on third and as Strickland departed to the dugout he said something to Brinson, who said something back, and the Giants' bench said more stuff and then Strickland went into the clubhouse, punched a locker and broke his hand and will miss six-to-eight weeks. Oh, the irony.

Unwritten Rule No. 3: Rookies don't talk trash to veterans.

4. Tuesday night, Brinson came up in the second inning with runners on second on third and one out. Giants rookie Dereck Rodriguez hit Brinson in the hip. Frankly, Rodriguez should have been immediately ejected, as his intent was obvious.

Unwritten Rule No. 4: We're the Giants, you're the Marlins. Or something.

5. Buster Posey came up in the bottom of the second inning and Dan Strailywent up-and-in and hit him in his hand/wrist area.

Unwritten Rule No. 5: An eye for an eye.

Real or Not? Giants disgrace the game with latest beanballs

The Marlins obviously weren't trying to hurt Posey.

They would have thrown at his porcelain ankle if they were.

Let’s punish the other team by giving them baserunners.

Pittsburgh was up 5-0 on the Dbacks in the 7th inning a week or so ago when they hit the leadoff batter in retaliation for one of their guys getting hit the previous inning.

The comeback was sparked and the Dbacks scored 9 unanswered to pummel them.

At least they got their retaliation tho...

On the flip side, the Rangers a couple years ago beaned Jose Bautista in retaliation, who was then erased on a double play, and he got his ass kicked by Rougned Odor for sliding too hard.

Take the good with the bad.
