There's a reason players are not supposed to argue balls and strikes.
Houston Astros first baseman Lance Berkman was suspended for two games and fined an undisclosed amount by the commissioner's office today after being ejected during Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies.
Berkman unsuccessfully argued a called third strike in the eighth inning before angrily throwing his batting glove and an equipment bag onto the field from the dugout.
However, the reason he was suspended was for returning to the field in the ninth inning when the benches cleared after Rockies' reliever Manny Corpas hit Carlos Lee with a pitch.
Houston won 4-1.
