Fine for error

[TheWizard]

I don't know if I can recall another time I've seen this.  The Royals fined Bentacourt for dropping a fly ball in a half-assed manner.

I've seen that happen before, but it doesn't get publicized too often. There also have been managers who have walked out on the field and removed a lacksadaisical player. I know that Gil Hodges did it to Cleon Jones. But some other manager did it more recently, but I can't remember who it was.

Pinella yanked Soriano w/ 1 out (or something along those lines) after he misplayed a ball hit his direction.  Didn't show much effort on the play, etc...

Charlie Manuel pulled Jimmy Rollins once and Bobby Cox pulled Yunel Escobar twice last year.

Didn't Cox once yank Andruw Jones in mid-inning, too?

Here's a Youtube video where former Met coach Joe Pignatano and GIl Hodges's widow explain why Hodges walked out to left field and removed Jones from the game, which was against the Astros. Nolan Ryan was pitching for the Mets in this game.
