SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke and coach Jim Harbaugh have made it clear they have zero tolerance for domestic violence and consider defensive tackle Ray McDonalds arrest a serious matter. Solomon Thomas Youth Jersey . The team is gathering as much information as possible in the wake of the veteran defensive tackles arrest Sunday on felony domestic violence charges. Baalke said the organization would let the legal process play out before determining what is next for McDonald with the team. Baalke said he has had lengthy conversations with McDonald since Sunday. "This matter is being treated seriously by this organization," Baalke said. "This is certainly something that hits home for me. Ive got two daughters myself. Domestic violence is unacceptable, and it certainly wont be tolerated." Harbaugh maintained his firm stance about the topic during his Tuesday morning radio segment on KNBR-AM, two days after McDonald was arrested during a party for his 30th birthday -- which was Tuesday. Harbaughs first media availability of the week is Wednesday as the team prepares for its season opener Sunday at Dallas. "You ask me how I feel about domestic violence. I can be very clear about that," Harbaugh said on the radio. "If someone physically abuses a woman and/or physically or mentally abuses or hurts a child, then theres no understanding. Theres no tolerance for that." McDonald is out on $25,000 bail following his arrest at his San Jose home early Sunday where he was celebrating his milestone birthday with many teammates and friends. San Jose police released few details Tuesday surrounding McDonalds arrest, only saying that officers at the scene saw the alleged victim with "visible injuries." McDonalds arrest came just days after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced last week tougher penalties for players accused of domestic violence, including a six-week suspension for a first offence and at least a year for a second. The move followed scrutiny over Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rices two-game penalty stemming from his arrest on an assault charge in February. "Weve been in contact with the league on several occasions since this incident took place," Baalke said. "They know exactly the stance that were taking and the things that were trying to do to make the best possible decision we can. Theyre guiding us but theyre not telling us exactly how to handle this matter. The matter will be handled by the organization." Harbaugh said he didnt know all of the details regarding McDonald and cautioned against any rush to judgment. The coach also said Tuesday that he wouldnt allow any player who was found guilty of domestic violence on his team. "Yes, we would not. We can be very clear (on that)," Harbaugh said. "This is a legal matter. I think we all owe, to everyone involved, the ability for due process to take place." An eight-year veteran, McDonald was schedule to participate in Tuesdays team workout. If hes held out of Sundays game, defensive lineman Tony Jerod-Eddie would likely fill his spot. However, the team was left answering far more questions about its latest rash of off-field issues than the season opener Sunday at Dallas. Harbaugh met with the team Tuesday to reiterate his zero tolerance policy on domestic violence. Baalke said he hasnt spoken to other players who attended McDonalds birthday party. Tight end Vernon Davis said he was there along with many other teammates throughout the evening. Davis said he left when the police arrived. "I didnt see them arrest him. I tried to stay out of it. Ill talk to Ray later. I didnt see anything. I didnt hear anything. So I dont know what went on over there," Davis said. "All I do know is Ray is a great guy, hes awesome." McDonalds arrest came two days after linebacker Aldon Smith received a nine-game suspension for violations of the NFL substance-abuse and personal-conduct policies. Asked about the 49ers having players arrested an NFL-high 10 times since 2012, Harbaugh said Tuesday that the team is doing "everything in our power to make sure there isnt a pattern forming." "I as a coach, the organization, the other coaches, have made it a point and well continue to make it a point of emphasis of good conduct, 100 per cent of the time," Harbaugh said. "We believe its personal. We believe its part of our responsibility." Joe Williams Youth Jersey .A. Happ capped a challenging season with one of his best efforts of the year. Reuben Foster 49ers Jersey .Y. -- First, Ryan Miller. http://www.thenflsf49ersfanatic.com/c-78-49ers-cj-...ersey.a spx . After all, the No. 8 seed is chasing far loftier goals. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., defeated American Jack Sock 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in Wimbledons second round on Thursday.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- C.J. Wilson wasnt threatened by the swarm of bees that took over the Angel Stadium field during two brief game delays. With little help from his teammates, the Los Angeles Angels durable left-hander couldnt avoid a streak-snapping loss. Justin Smoak hit a tiebreaking two-run homer, Felix Hernandez had 10 strikeouts in a four-inning start and the Seattle Mariners beat the Angels 3-2 Sunday in a game delayed twice by bees. Both teams retreated to their dugouts during an initial 23-minute delay in the third inning when the bees roamed over the right side of the field and eventually hovered near the ficus trees beyond the wall in centre. The Angels had two runners on and two outs when the bees interrupted. Most fans stayed in their seats as a few brave grounds crew members and crowd volunteers attempted to deter the swarm with a broom, a Gatorade cooler and a cardboard box. "That dude just came out of the stands and said Its OK. Im a beekeeper," Wilson said. "It was like a Seinfeld episode. Do you tip a bee guy? Throw him a 20? I dont carry cash on me when Im pitching, so it wouldnt have been me." Hernandez escaped a bases-loaded jam when the game resumed, but there was another short delay in the fourth when Mike Trout and Kole Calhoun began swatting at more bees in the outfield. "I thought they had gotten rid of all of them, and then when I got out there, all the fans were yelling: Theyre on the ground! Theyre on the ground!" Calhoun said. "So Im looking around and I see them swarming and stuff, and then I see a pile of bees on the ground -- hundreds and hundreds of bees. There were bees everywhere. I had to call (umpire) Jim Joyce over there." A quick blast from the fire extinguisher dissuaded the bees from sticking around. "Kole was really freaking out all of a sudden because I guess there was a softball-size bee colony that was swarming on the ground," Wilson said. "It was amazing. Ive never seen that before." Wilson (17-7) pitched eight-hit ball into the ninth inning but lost for the first time since July 5 against Boston, ending streaks of nine straight victories and 13 consecutive starts without a loss. The left-hander struck out niine while reaching 200 innings for the fourth consecutive season. Reuben Foster Womens Jersey . . Wilson had two outs and two strikes before Smoak lifted a tailing fly into the short stands down the left-field line. The homer was Smoaks 18th this season, but his first batting right-handed. Wilson got a big ovation when he left with one out in the ninth after 123 pitches. He has been the Angels best pitcher in their disappointing season, going 13-1 with a 2.91 ERA in his previous 18 starts since June 14. "Its frustrating to get outpitched, but it happens," Wilson said. Calhoun hit a solo homer in the eighth inning, and Efren Navarro got his first career RBI for the Angels, who couldnt finish off a three-game sweep. Los Angeles had won nine of 11 and 21 of 28 for the majors best record since late August despite getting eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday. Los Angeles had plenty of opportunities to help out Wilson, but stranded three runners in the seventh and two more in the eighth. Despite the bees rude interruptions, Hernandez set a major league record for strikeouts in a four-inning start. King Felix hadnt pitched in 20 days since leaving a loss at Kansas City on Sept. 2 with a strained oblique muscle. Hernandez walked four and gave up a run in the Angels second-inning rally, but otherwise looked sharp in his return to the rotation. "I was just trying not to overthrow, just throw strikes," said Hernandez, who left feeling fine after 92 pitches. "It was a little different with the bees. I was talking to the guys: Im going to be in the clubhouse if they come over here." Oliver Perez (3-3) struck out the side in the fifth inning after relieving Hernandez. Danny Farquhar, the Mariners fifth reliever, pitched the ninth for his 15th save in 19 chances. "We had to use a lot of guys, most of which were tired and at the end of their ropes, but they did fine," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. Mike Zunino had an early RBI double in just the third win in 14 games for the Mariners. NOTES: Just eight pitchers have thrown 200 innings in each of the past four seasons. ... Seattle had lost five straight to Los Angeles. ... The Angels last five games have been decided by one run.
