I like Mattingly's idea that he should be suspended until Greinke can pitch again.

I like Mattingly's idea that he should be suspended until Greinke can pitch again.

The problem with that idea is you'll end up with junk pitchers deliberately plunking star hitters and getting "injured" when the hitter charges them.

ya....no.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Not a good sign when your teammates are apologizing.

I get what Matt was trying to do but to risk suspension (or longer suspension) by getting into Quentin's face isn't a good idea. Should've left him alone.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

You like to fight, you suffer the consequences.

Reports coming in that San Diego police had to separate Kemp and Quentin in the Petco Park parking lot.

Jesus christ.

 

[G-Fex]

I knew Kemp wouldn't stop

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Hairston says he ran out there because one of the Padres players was making fun of Greinke's injury.

 

[Corran Horn]

Damn SoCal with no manors.

 

[paully]

Why the hell does ESPN refer to Quentin as a "slugger." He's just another average bitch player. This cunt should be suspended for at least 30 games, and I hate the Dodgers.

edit: last thing you want to do is mess with dodgers fans. lol quentin is dead meat.

Giants gaf? Isn't she A's gaf?

You'll always have Amy G. and her lovely voice.

 

[Brashnir]

I just looked. Over the last 7 years of play, Jason Marquis has a combined total WAR of 1.

So basically what you're saying is, the stat should be renamed WAJM.

 

[paully]

The A's are the best team in the AL. There's no shame in getting stomped by them.

and they deserve that spot with the way they're playing. The A's know how to get talented players for cheap, and their pitching is incredible. The Angels are simply overpaid clowns, and Mike Scioscia is the biggest of clowns. I'm convinced we have the one of the worst starting rotations in baseball right now considering Weaver is out.

She did alot of bay area sports stuff

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Holy shit. Carlos Quentin better get ready to catch one to the skull.

This is fucking stupid to say. If a pitcher does, he should be banned for good. Throwing at the head is dangerous and fucking stupid and so is encouraging it.

Zach should have kept his mouth shut instead of mouthing off and maybe Quentin wouldn't have charged. Quentin isn't a hothead, nor is he really a "garbage" player like a poster a few posts up implied. I'd love to have him back on the south side.

 

[newjeruse]

Frankly, a shoulder check is a pretty nonviolent way to consummate a mound charge. Ironic that he actually hurt Greinke with it.

Exactly. Could have came in throwing punches.

Didn't Greinke lower his first too?

It's not ironic at all. Quentin is 50 pounds heavier than Greinke is.

 

[Heart Attack]

Thank you Quentin, for making a Padres game exciting for once. Sucks for the Dodgers though.

 

[G-Fex]

How Ironic, I have Mr. Baseball on tv in the background and Tom Sellick just charged the mound after getting hit in the shoulder by a pitch.

 

[Blearth]

I liked Jaymee Sire.

I like Amy G more, though.

 

[rekameohs]

The remaining 16 Dodgers/Padres games this year just got really interesting, especially for Quentin.

 

[jakncoke]

Da heyl! Two years ago it was ten dollars to add onto mlb.tv

Did you get 3500 minor league games back then?

 

[Blearth]

Just watched a Rangers highlight.

I don't think I was ready to see Joe Nathan high-fiving AJ Pierzynski.

40 bucks for Milb.tv, interesting.. great value if you're a baseball nut or want to scout your farm system.hmm..

if u have mlb.tv u get 50% off

 

[talisayNon]

So sick of these young Mariners. Almost as much as the old ones.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Where the fuck was AJ Ellis? How does he let a tub of shit like Quentin charge unimpeded?

What the fuck has been going on with the Angels?

 

[Gannd]

What the fuck has been going on with the Angels?

Spent a lot of money on the wrong problem. They needed pitching and not the slug from Texas.

The Grienke situation.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

LOL where does the last guy go?

Just caught up on the fight.

Greinke being Greinke, he asked for it with whatever he said and throwing his glove. I can't feel that bad for him, he's getting 10M to recover. Too bad for the Dodgers he's injured but they'll probably be fine.

No way should Quentin get a 75+ game suspension because he lowered his shoulder instead of throwing punches. What if instead he would have punched him in the head and knocked him out or gave him a concussion? It's more of a freak injury than anything and I doubt they'll throw precedent out the window because of Greinke's injury.

They're treating this as if he led with "a helmet".

Well, that would be weird, because he didn't.

 

[McNei1y]

I mean in a football sense. They're very strict in the NFL with the whole "leading with a helmet" hit and I think they go overboard with a lot of the penalty calls, fines, ans suspensions.

I was comparing this to that situation if they give Quentin a long suspension. I see nothing wrong with what either Greinke or Quentin did. They lowered shoulders and ran into each other as if they were rams. I guess the punishment will be worse because Greinke was injured? I still think running into eachother's shoulders is better than throwing a punch.
