Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.
Good day, Patrick. Great weekend at Dodger Stadium! I have a baseball question, not specifically about the Rockies. What responsibility lies between players, management, and owners to the fans? The Mets players have caused an uproar by showing a “thumbs down” to fans, as opposed to a worse gesture of disapproval. Does this cross the line of professionalism? I am curious about the gesticulations you want to show the mensa in Twittersphere. Thank you.

Robert, my gut reaction when I saw it and read about the incident was that Javier Baez, Francisco Lindor and Kevin Pillar were way out of line.
