If Butcher went after Blanton for simply trashing the coolers, then Butcher was absolutely in the wrong. I'm pretty sure it's a well known unwritten rule for everyone in the dugout to look the other way unless he starts throwing things onto the field or directing his frustrations towards others, which Blanton didn't appear to do either of. Did Blanton say something to Butcher? Maybe, but we'll never know unless they wish to discuss it to the media. Until then, Butcher will look like he went after Blanton for smashing coolers in the dugout, and that doesn't reflect well on Scioscia. It makes it look like he's losing control of his team.
