They all do. You are surely not that naive. They may not do it right away, but it happens. Someone made a reference to Curt Schilling, who said most all of his HBP were on purpose for one reason or another.

There was a story about Ed Farmer after that dust up a few weeks ago, and granted Ed Farmer is nuts... but there was a story about how once he waited two years to nail a guy for something he did wrong.

Not after getting drilled by a 100 MPH FB in the 1st for no good reason. Not sure if you're aware, but guys don't like that too much.

Granted this is a Reds blog, but it's still a great example. Kluber hit Matt Holiday in the hand accidentally and knocked him out of the game on May 13th.

A couple innings later, Jason Kipnis gets one straight in the back from John Lackey.

And they actually hit Kipnis a second time later in that game. All over an accidental HBP that knocked a player out of a game. Granted there's a bunch of Reds whining on that blog, but even some of the commenters say that's just baseball. You take someone out, one of your guys is going to wear one. You can certainly argue it shouldn't be that way, but that's how they play the game.

So get on that high horse Cards fan. Get on up there.

That has been the only I wasn't a fan of. Lawrie took the first HBP like a man. Donaldson knew he had been cold busted stealing signs and that was it.

I'm not saying the Royals aren't without fault because that's clearly not the case. I've watched everyone of these series and there has been some shit on both sides. A lot of it I don't think we as the viewer are always privy too. If the Royals are the bad boys of baseball then so be it. I've seen plenty of shit on both sides in all cases. There were Royals beaned in previous games this series and Infante almost got 1 in his ear Friday they did nothing about. If you haven't seen the entire series unfold then you don't have the whole picture. Volquez hit Donaldson on purpose and the rest of the day was the Blue Jays overacting to every inside pitch. Whatever on to the next series.

I agree. Lawrie took it like a man and that should've been that. I'm very objective about the Royals and baseball etiquette. I think it's hilarious people like Hamas, who didn't even watch the game, try and tell us how our team plays baseball. Today was all Donaldson being a ****ing cry baby. Plain and simple.
