There's nothing contrived about it. I think you can have a legitimate argument that baseball shouldn't be played that way. There are tons of people who would agree. But that's a different argument. Every team does it. The only mistake is acting like your team is somehow above it all. Pitchers will hit opposing batters for a myriad of reasons. From basic retaliation to injuries to dirty play. You don't even always know why.
