He gets hit in a situation where it is clear and obvious that it could not have possibly been intentional, yet he still rushes the mound. CQ had his mind made up about what he'd do if Greinke hit him again long ago.

Lol how do you know it was clear and obvious it wasn't intentional?

The game situation makes it clear and obvious. His instantaneous reaction does as well. Only an ignorant fool would think any pitcher would intentionally hit a batter in a situation where the risk of costing your team the game is very high. Hell, he threw 4 sliders in the AB, he's not going to fool around with throwing pitches that are hard in the arm if he's planning on beaning him.

1. Greinke is crazy
2. Quentin was not going to get a pitch in the strike zone
3. The risk wasn't high at all

Like hell its not. One-run game with no outs?

Greinke also came back from 2-1 to fill the count and spent several sliders on him, he was clearly and obviously trying to get him out.

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.

oh

because had Greinke turned around and sprinted away this would have been "good lord Greinke is a huge pussy lol lol" instead of the morons who don't know anything about baseball trying to say he beaned Quentin on purpose on a 3-2 count in a 1 run game because he didn't want to "serve up a meatball"

...

what?

Sure. He should have just stood there and let a few punches bounce off his face. You incredible dipshit.

There is a difference between standing there and getting out of the way.

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.
