Any body else think quinton is being vilified for no good reason? Why is this any different than any other baseball fight?

Because most fights don't have an injured pitcher that costs like $4 mil a month. He didn't even get out of the way and the pitch wasn't even that far inside. The guy is a moron

Quentin also crowds the plate like crazy witch is why he gets hit more then anybody. He wanted the rush the mound, he didn't even have to be hit and then breaks the guys collarbone. He should be suspended for as long as greinke is hurt

Originally posted by Regeza View PostGood to know about the rule. But it is never really enforced. Like i said, i see your point, but bar the injury nothing out of the ordinary happened. I guess i agree to disagree.
You didn't see Kemp charge the mound when he had one up by his head. He turns into the pitch, gets hit in the meaty part of the arm and charges the mound. He was looking for a fight. Just because Grienke said something (allegedly) after he got hit? Why not just stand and woof at each other like a lot of other guys do. Hitters now want to wear all kinds of armor so they can hang out over the plate as much as the want and yet they get pissed when they get hit. When a hitter is that overly aggressive a pitcher NEEDS to throw inside to be effective.Last edited by Russian Crushin; 04-12-2013, 06:53 PM.
