If you're a pitcher, go ahead and keep winging fastballs at batters that made you mad or you just plain don't like. The penalty won't be severe, and if he comes after you he's going to get the brunt of the punishment anyways.
I am guessing he loses pay for the 6 games. Not sure if that is a huge amount though or a deterrent at all from throwing at star players.
