I hope to one day be able to see the world from the high horse some of you live on. That's pretty much all I have to say at this point.
I don't think the Royals are a bunch of innocent choir boys. I've been openly critical of Yordano all season. Probably been one of his biggest critics.
I also don't think the Royals have to apologize for standing up for themselves. Every baseball team does it. The Cardinals do it frequently. And if they felt someone was stealing their signs, or if one of their players is HBP and knocked out of a game, they will do something about it. That is the heart of this issue. You can all write 10000 word diatribes if you want. The Blue Jays have been in their fair share of scrums the last two years too. You know why? Because everyone does it.
And now we have to sit and be lectured on the rules of baseball. As if every team doesn't stand up for themselves. Heck most of you are Cards fans. You're the same fanbase that will give a 5 minute standing O every time they roll Bob Gibson out there, and he was one of the most feared pitchers ever. Point being that most every good team stands up for themselves. That's not immaturity. You can certainly argue that's not how the game should be played. But it is. By everyone.
