Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
After the game, Sheffield relaxed in a chair at his locker and answered a series of questions about the brawl. He said Carmona "absolutely" intended to hit him and vowed revenge. ... "I don't care who you are, how big you are. Anytime I get hit because you're upset about something else, we're going to deal with it during the game, after the game, or whenever you want to deal with it."Ah, the rare "fourth strike." Sheff later says he knows who socked him during the bench-clearing melee, and vows that they "will have to deal with" him. While Sheff has moved on, feel free to enjoy a shaky TiVo-taping of the brawl until it gets yanked.
Carmona also hit Sheffield with a pitch April 17. Sheffield said he believes Carmona has hit him a total of three times. "Three strikes, you out," he said. "And if there's a fourth, it gets more violent. Trust me."

I suppose all those punches that Sheffield took the head gave him amnesia. He seems to not comprehend that he was on the RECEIVING end of a beatdown.
