After getting plunked by Rangers starter Vicente Padilla twice on Tuesday night, Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira took exception. "There's really no reason for it in baseball. You know, if you can't get a guy out, don't hit him. You know, if you don't want to pitch to a guy, then, you know, put four fingers out there and walk him," Teixeira said. "And, unfortunately, when I was a teammate, it happened a lot where he would hit guys, and the 3-4 hitters, those are the guys that got hit for retaliation, and I got hit plenty of times." Teixeira spent time with Padilla in Texas, and they faced each other for the first time in 2005. Teixeira hit home runs off Padilla in the first and third innings of that game. "Every time I've faced him since, there seem to be balls near my head, near my body, and today I got hit twice," he said. "Not the right way to play the game. Unfortunately, you know, that guy has been doing it his whole career."
