Yeah, I feel bad for the kid too, but still in that situation it's an unwritten rule of baseball that when another team hits one of your players, you retaliate. Ozzie told him to do it, and he should have done it. He lost a lot of respect from the rest of his team by not doing it.
On the other hand, Ozzie definetly shouldn't have made such an outburst over it.
