But if Mike Moustakas getting hit on accident is grounds for drilling Donaldson the next day and the Jays should've just understood and been okay with that, what are the Royals doing leaving the dugout when Sanchez hits Escobar after Tulowitzki gets hit?
There's absolutely a double standard here. When your guys hit one of theirs, intent is what controls. When their guys hit one of yours, well to hell with intent, one of our guys got it. When Ventura catches a comeback and starts yelling at the baserunner as he goes down the line, it's just being a firey kid. When Donaldson flips his bat, he's a drama queen.
And yet the team most frequently in the middle of these affairs is the Royals. I'm sure it's everyone else's fault.
