If Greinke is supposedly so insightful about the risks inherent in plunking a batter and how it might cost the Dodgers one measly game.
He owes the Dodgers similar insight in how him getting hurt in an unnecessary brawl can cost the Dodgers their chances at the division and the playoffs.
IMO, justice would be Quentin gets the run of the mill charging the mound suspension when it appears to be an unintentional beaning. Greinke gets suspended one start when he is off disabled list. And everybody learn that one reason not to get in unnecessary fights is that you can get injured and not contribute to the team.
