I never said they were innocent at all. They aren't. At all. The Royals did not throw the first beanball though. The Jays threw two of them the day before. Whether it was intentional or not, it doesn't matter. You can't keep hitting a team, and you can't take out another team's player with a beanball and not expect retaliaton. Volquez's HBP should've been the end of it, but Sanchez chose to continue the conflict.
And that's fine, but you can't throw your hands up and act innocent when you do that... which is what the Blue Jays try to do. At least Syndergaard was honest today.
