Yes. It happens more than we know or admit.

Exactly. This ain't t-ball.

That's the way baseball works. Your team has done it too. There isn't a team in baseball that can claim innocence in that regard, and most honest pitchers would tell you as such.

So wait. Donaldson gets HBP in the first and that means every Royals pitcher only gets to throw him meatballs over the outside of the plate for the rest of the game?

They knocked Moose out of the game today by hitting him last night. I personally think that's what led to it, but we can't be sure. Maybe they felt Donaldson showboated too much yesterday. Maybe they think the Jays were stealing signs. There are a few options.
In any scenario (signs/pimping/unintentional HBPs), we're still talking about the Royals hitting somebody for some contrived reason and therefore initiating the real conflict where there was none.

Did not have a problem with Volquez or Madson's pitch to him later in the game and have said as much repeatedly now. It was the first intentional one that caused this.

That's not how it works. And you can certainly make the argument baseball shouldn't work that way... that's why some people hate it, it's so set in their ways and old school and all that.

But a lot of times if you hit someone and knock a player out of a game, one of your guys is going to wear one. That's how it's been played for a century.

They also could've felt he showboated yesterday, although I'm not sure he did. But there are so many things happening in the field we don't know about, it could be anything.

That isn't the way baseball works. It's the way Royals baseball works. If every team went around hitting people for unintentional HBPs, we'd be having brawls every other game.

Moose being out isn't a conflict? Tell that to the royals players dumbass.

Well as long as you'll admit that Donaldson's tantrum and walk outside the batter's box after Madson buzzed him was just a mixture of roid rage and I-can't-believe-I-let-that-ball-go-by-in-the-2014-wild-card-game butthurtedness, then I'd say we've reached a détente.

Aside from the Diamondbacks, please name one team that retaliates consistently after someone gets hit. Maybe the Pirates after McCutchen gets beaned?
