Don't be ridiculous. Buehrle throws 80MPH, he's not trying to hit anybody with his FB. Just as nobody else on the Jays tried to hit anybody in that series until Sanchez did so in retaliation.

More importantly, they hit Moose and he didn't play in the next day's game. So yeah I thought hitting Donaldson was retaliation for that.

The fact that an unintentional HBP was the best reason anybody could come up with for the beanball in that spot says a lot, yeah.

I'm not offended that Syndergaard threw up and in, even though he basically said he was going to do it. If that's the way you want to play, that's fine. But you can't sit here and take the high road and say the Royals are the bad guys if they stand up for themselves.

I'm certainly not. I'm just saying the Royals weren't innocent in the Sanchez situation you cited.
