Major League Baseball Scores Espn

I read this on espn about Rockies pitcher Jimenez illegal stuff, but what does this mean?
COMPLAINT FOR CIVIL PENALTIES AND OTHER RELIEF
Plaintiff, the hitters of Major League Baseball, acting upon notification and authorization to the Commissioner of Major League Baseball, for its complaint alleges as follows:
The Defendant, a 26-year-old Colorado Rockies pitcher named Ubaldo Jimenez, on or about Opening Day of the 2010 baseball season, plotted against Plaintiff to break Major League Baseball Rule 1.02, which reads, “The objective of each team is to win by scoring more runs than the opponent.”
Plaintiff alleges that Defendant, by refusing to allow opponents to score, is breaking Rule 1.02 by both intent and purpose. This complaint will show that, through the first two months of the season, Defendant knowingly and willingly plotted against other teams and hitters in Major League Baseball to prohibit them from scoring runs. Defendant’s actions are blatant violations of baseball’s fair-play rules.
ESPN writer Tim Keown is just having some fun with Ubaldo Jimenez’s dominance this year. IOW, it’s just a creative way of saying that Jimenez has been so dominant and abusive of opposing hitters that Major League hitters ought to sue him for the pain he has inflicted. And Jimenez has been nothing short of dominant this year, with a 13-1 record and a minuscule 1.15 ERA.
