Ubaldo Jimenez doesn't believe he deserves to be suspended for hitting former teammate Troy Tulowitzki during an exhibition game on Sunday.

"I shouldn't be suspended," Jimenez said. "Players are hit by pitches every day. With a guy like him, you have to go inside. I can't get the ball to go where I want every time."

The right-hander hit the shortstop in the left elbow.

Jimenez said he would not reach out to Tulowitzki. Earlier this spring, Jimenez revealed he was unhappy in Colorado before being dealt to Cleveland last July. Tulowitzki later was quoted as saying the former All-Star should get over it.

"He was calling me names," Jimenez said. "I already said I didn't want to hit him. I had five walks. It's not the first time somebody (was) hit."

Fausto Carmona purposely threw at Mark Teixeira last year and didn't get suspended

:kobe:

It was overblown by the media because they were the only ones to see it at first. Don't see how you can suspend a guy who didn't even get ejected but whatever

Ubaldo, come on dude we are not fucking stupid. He threw at Tulowitzki on purpose because he felt slighted by the Rockies. Dude needs to grow a pair and get over it. You didnt get paid and others were, thats why they traded you.

Its not like Ubaldo is making pennies still while everyone else is getting paid. He needs to focus more on coming back to form because last year should have been a fluke.

At the most, he's going to miss a start. When I first saw the video, I thought it was by accident until he ran towards Tulo. These type of things happen a lot yes, but when it's done by accident, I don't know how often the pitcher runs toward them. Probably not very often.
