Quentin deserves a suspension, but Greinke clearly exasperated the situation.

Clearly hits him? It was at most 4 inches off the plate.
The long video is below. The best initial view is at about 3:08. Grienke is facing home plate and says "f---". A second later he says "f--- it" and tosses his glove. Comparing it to earlier in the video, it would appear Quentin charged immediatlely after the initial swear. Hardly a reason to rush the mound.
