Making his Diamondbacks debut, Heath Bell gave up two homers in the seventh inning Tuesday against the Cardinals.

I think it’s fair game to go after a player’s performance. But to go after a player personally is another thing altogether. Sure, if they put their character or behavior in question, fine, but there’s a big difference between “Player X stinks” and “Player X is a jerk.” Many more steps beyond that on the…
