Greinke Brawls..breaks collarbone
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...pitch/2076525/
The Los Angeles Dodgers won the game Thursday night against the San Diego Padres, but their pennant hopes certainly took a hit. Dodgers starter Zack Greinke fractured his left collarbone in a bench-clearing brawl during the Dodgers' 3-2 victory over the Padres at Petco Park, prompting enraged Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp to confront Padres left fielder Carlos Quentin in the clubhouse tunnel after the game. Padres starter Clayton Richard and security guards intervened before another fight ensued. The brawl started when Quentin was hit in the shoulder by Greinke's pitch in the sixth inning. He took several steps towards the mound with his bat, dropped it, and charged Greinke. It was the second time in four years that Greinke hit Quentin, but Quentin was intercepted by Kansas City Royals catcher Miguel Olivo and home-plate umpire Bill Hohn back on April 9, 2009, when Greinke pitched for the Royals and Quentin played for the Chicago White Sox. This time, no one held anyone back, with Greinke, Kemp and Jerry Hairston ejected from the Dodgers, along with Quentin. The biggest losers, of course, were the Dodgers, with Greinke sidelined for an indefinite period. He's scheduled to see Los Angles physician Neal ElAttrache on Friday. Greinke signed a six-year, $147 million free-agent contract during the winter. "My teammate now has a broken f------ collarbone,'' Hairston told reporters. "Excuse my language, but that's unbelievable.'' Said Quentin: "It's unfortunate. It could have been avoided. You can ask Zack about that. "For me, I've been hit by many pitches in my career. I think you guys know that. I can tell you I've never responded in that fashion, so you guys can do your homework on that. For me, the situation is done. That's it.'' Quentin was most infuriated, he told reporters, by what Greinke told him after he was hit. "That was the final straw,'' he said. Kemp, enraged by the incident, met face to face with Quentin in the hallway after the game at Petco Park. He followed Quentin into the parking lot and saying: "We'll see, b----,'' according to the Los Angeles Times. "That's terrible for him to charge the mound like that,'' Kemp told reporters. "I think Carlos Quentin went to Stanford. I heard there's some smart people at Stanford. That wasn't too smart.'' Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said that Quentin shouldn't be permitted to play another game until Greinke can pitch. "We're in a 2-1 game and on a 3-2 pitch to a guy that I see on the [score]board set a record for the Padres by getting hit, a guy who basically dives into the plate,'' Mattingly said, according to the MLB.com report. "In a 2-1 game, we're trying to hit him, 3-2? "It's just stupid is what it is. He should not play a game until Greinke can pitch. If he plays before Greinke pitches, something is wrong.'' Said Greinke: "The only thing I'm going to say about the whole thing that happened there is I've never hit him on purpose. I never thought of hitting him on purpose.'' Quentin has long been a magnet for pitches. In 2004, he set a minor league record by getting plunked 43 times, and he led the major leagues the past two seasons, getting hit 23 times in 2011 and 17 times last year, even though he played just 86 games. Greinke told reporters he thought Quentin's umbrage in reacting to getting hit by pitches was "a ploy" to intimidate pitchers. "I figured he was trying to intimidate pitchers so they wouldn't throw inside,' he said. The Dodgers and Padres play again Monday, this time, in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium on Jackie Robinson Day. |

Can't believe I wasted my 1000th post arguing with an old man about baseball. Should have put it to better use in the ball powder thread.

I hate it. If you're going to crowd the plate, pitchers should be able to brush you off the plate and you pay the consequences for it. That's old school baseball. You can't brush a batter off if he's unafraid of getting hit.

dude I don't give a **** if he gets out of the way of the ball or not
or if he leans into it the fact of the matter is the dumb**** charged the mound in a situation that never warrants such action it was the most absurd thing I've seen in baseball in years |

Baseball brawls are not hockey fights were everybody stays out of it and lets it go one on one. If every player on both teams is running to the mound, it would be very easy for a pitcher that knew he did not bean the guy on purpose to let his teammates block the guy charging the mound. I do not understand your post.

Actually you can. You just want to hit the thighs and get the double leg take down, not shoulder to shoulder. But yeah, a knee to nose would have been the smarter move. In Zach's defense I'm sure he was caught off guard by CQ going for the shoulder tackle like a bitch. Most guys that charge are throwing bombs.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..... LOL, **** Zach for over-using his mother's poor nipples! This is Karma man. He's an asshole KC-traitor, and I hope they break every bone in his pitching hand next time and stick a #2 pencil in both his eyes!

well I don't know about any of that
but what I'm cheering for is this: Zach gets healthy. Zach faces San Diego. Zach beans CQ on the 1st pitch the 1st time the two square off again. That would be epic. |

We all want much of that. Especially watching the catcher let him kick Zach's ass AGAIN and break a new bone in his pussy ****ing KC-traitor ass! Zach should run like the mustard hotdog!
