A fight broke out in the stands soon after apparently:
The only time I ever saw Petco get rowdy was when LA was in town, this is the least surprising thing ever.

In all honesty, he probably put something valuable like a watch or Iphone in there and then ran out.
I wonder if the Dodgers could sue? I don't know if they ever would in a 1000 years, but could they?

Greinke tossed his glove after Quentin started to charge the mound.
Oh yeah, forgot about that. Damn.
Regarding Greinke, it all could have been avoided had he just turned away and walked back to the mound, right? Seems like that's the usual procedure after plunking someone.

And before the dropped glove he was mouthing off in typical Greinke fashion.
Youkilis crowds the plate with his stance, but he doesn't necessarily lean into pitches. That is Quentin's bread and butter.
He made no effort to back away from the pitch, and Quentin instigated that. He started walking towards Greinke and then Greinke said something.
What on earth would you sue over? The contract is covered by insurance, so you'd try and make some claim that their playoff chances and the resultant income was irreparably harmed. But it's not like they were a shoe-in or even a favourite for the playoffs beforehand.

it's not when a guy starts marching towards the mound. the dude has been hit too many times, he doesn't try to get out of the way because he likes the free base.
MLB radio was talking about the brawl this morning. They then brought up specifically how you could see one Padre player go back towards the clubhouse momentarily when everyone charged out. Apparently, one player will always do that to "warn" or "alert" any players / staff in the clubhouse that aren't paying attention to the monitors that a fight is going down.
I can just imagine some guy screaming "help!" "fight!" while I'm trying to take a piss lol

Heh. This reminds me of how my buddy ended up with the nick name "The Crippler" after he broke a guys wrist in kickball.

I wouldn't expect anything less than hate from division rivals.
Yeah.

I am surprised there are not any Braves fans there at least. It must be so depressing to play before an empty stadium like that.

Heyman: MLB expected to "throw the book" at Quentin with a minimum suspension of 25 games

Nice, hopefully this will finally put an end to guys charging the mound and starting brawls.
I hope not.
Same. It's a rare thing that is entertaining. I was at my first one last year when the Cubs and Nats went at it. I also really enjoyed the Nyjer Morgan vs the Marlins a few years ago.

Selig is one disgusting fuck.
The point here is everyone is going to judge Quentin due to being a complete fool. That's what makes it stand out, that's what makes it easier to throw the book at him. If there was a Greinke injury where there was equal substance on both sides, you wouldn't be hearing about month long suspensions.
Quentin is stuck on a lonely island here.

Giant Bomb did their Quick Look of The Show. I highly recommend watching it.

There... doesn't seem to be black outs for the Minor League Baseball TV? Hooolly shit, I just might grab that to watch Memphis and Springfield.

When you dive into the plate so that both of your arms hang almost completely over the plate, you are going to get hit. When you've already taken 4 steps towards the mound, you have to expect the pitcher to say something to you if you're already on the grass in front of the plate. If he's not smart enough to realize that Greinke isn't going to be throwing at him in that situation, then Stanford needs to reevaluate their admission standards.
If Quentin gets 25 games, he earned it.
If he appeals and is able to play next week, as a Dodger fan, I'm willing to sacrifice every game in the series against them to throw at him every time he bats. EVERY TIME...

I liked Jaymee Sire.
I like Amy G more, though.
Ohhhh Jaymee
SoCal still fucked up? Yep.
I don't understand this. What makes this incident any different than other cases of charging the plate that lead to less time?
It seems like Greinke, a star, being injured in their fight together is causing this issue. Is it due to the pictures of an altercation after the game? Matt Kemp should be out for awhile then too.

I think the fact that a player got hurt, it was against a division rival, and he was barely hit along with it being 100% clear he wasnt being thrown at.
I still don't understand how those conditions affect the suspension that much. It's almost like the NHL where they punish controversy rather than the offense.

Yeah I can see that. It seems like there was a perfect storm of shit all happened in this case to get MLB to bring the hammer down.
...they don't do that in the NHL. If anything, they went from no sort of reaction to at least something.

Is there a problem with this?
If you want to go brawl go right ahead. If you don't want to get suspended 25 games then don't injure somebody. Seems simple enough to me.

If you are a goon the NHL will suspend you for sure, they just wont make stars miss games.

Awesome, it looks like they're talking about ending collisions at the plate again.
Just once I'd like to see them answer the question "why not just teach the players to not block the plate?" So stupid.
