Everyone can tell why he did that. He is always stressed by how other teams pitch around him instead face him like a man.
Imagine, if you played in Taiwan, and you are in that situation, you would do that.

Do fights break out in Japanese baseball much? The only one I've seen was the one when Balvino Galvez tried to throw a baseball at an umpire a few years back when it was appear on ESPN. Galvez should've been banned from NPB for that.
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Rhodes was suspended for two games after shoving Aoki, after the Lions' pitcher hit Norhiro Nakamura with a pitch. Aoki is expected to be unable to play for one week with a sprained neck vertebrae.
