Guys get hit. Holliday got hit, Lackey drilled a Kipnis (I think) and everyone went on their merry way. The Royals, OTOH, made a huge show of it with Hosmer and Moustakas leading the charge from the dugout.
As to the A's, really? It was pretty much over? C'mon, your guys were all over Oakland that day and the next. And to call Cain's HBP a 'plunking' is just silly. Kazmir didn't hit him on purpose - if anyone was going to target Cain it would've been the night before when they had a 5 run lead and Cain led off the 9th - that's a textbook 'flip' sign moment. But again, everything has malevolent intent when the Royals are involved, right? Beyond that, if Kazmir wanted to hit him, he'd have just put it in his back like everyone does and if the A's were giving instructions to hit him, it wouldn't have been in the rubber game of that series tied 0-0. Instead the fact that Cain got hit low is some kind of proof that Kazmir is even MORE evil and was going after some surgical soft spot for Cain. Gimme a break.
Like I said - it's always the other guy when the Royals are involved, right?
