I find it less than humorous that people posting here would suggest that an appropriate remedy is to have the pitcher throw at Bautista ("that's what Gibson, Drysdale, Martinez, etc, would have done").
You might want to recall Ray Chapman, Tony Conigliaro and countless other batters who have been hit with a beanball and either lost their lives or suffered serious injury as a result. A beanball at 95 mph is truly a classless act. And dangerous.

I don't really think Utley's play was "dirty" just the outcome. Everyone tries to break up that play. And this play in particular had more than a few flukey aspects to it. Tejada's turn is bizarre. Utley's head happening to hit him in the leg is bizarre too. I don't think he went in thinking he'd head butt Tejada's leg. I think he went in thinking he'd break up the play, which is what anyone would do.

dirty
Chase Utley's slide into Ruben Tejada would have taken him 15 feet past second base.
http://www.amazinavenue.com/2015/10/...ada-jerk-dirty Tejada had no chance. He MIGHT have been hurt with a hard, true slide, not the late BS that Utley tried. Pivot or not, he was not getting out of the way and was completely vulnerable and defenseless.

From 1996 http://articles.latimes.com/1996-07-...46_1_bean-ball Gibson basically says he never aimed at the head, but only at the body, where "nobody gets hurt" [which is BS]. Oh, but he did hit "a few guys in the head" when he was trying to brush them back. A fine, time honored tradition of baseball indeed.

here's an even better depiction of Utley's "slide" into second;
