    I'd love for baseball to suspend Quentin until Greinke comes off the DL. They won't do it, but that'd be justice.

    I've always thought charging the mound was a B.S. move. You're a freaking professional. Act like it. There are kids watching. I'd rather get a hit off him next time up than getting thrown out of a game because I lost my temper and threw a tantrum.

      I have no problem with Quentin charging tonight. Sometimes, you gotta take matters into your own hands. Maybe he thinks it's worth the suspension, who knows.

            On the Greinke-Quentin fight, according to ESPN, Quentin has been hit more than anyone else the last 3-4 seasons. Probably has more to do with him than those throwing at him. I've never really watched him, but maybe he should get his *** off the plate or something if he doesn't like being hit? There was about a .01% chance of that being intentional with a full count and a one-run ball game.

              You'll definitely have fun. It's an enjoyable experience.

              Quentin did say he wouldn't have charged the mound but Greinke had a few choice words for him and that's when he did.

                Seriously. If you crowd the plate as much as Quentin does, you better expect some inside cheese.

                  Bingo. And no one is intentionally throwing at you on a 3-2 count in a 1 run game. That's asinine. Quentin is a lunatic.

                    A relative of Quentin must be on the CBS sports forums. Someone just as crazy is trying to defend him at every turn claiming because Vin Scully thinks it was retaliation from earlier, it must be intentional, and Quentin wasn't on top of the plate there, when in the video, you can see his elbow hanging out over the plate, so getting hit on the shoulder on an inside pitch you don't back out of the way makes perfect sense to me. Another excuse is that because pitchers can be suspended for intentionally hitting a batter, they aren't going to do it on the first pitch... but they sure as hell aren't going to wait for a full count either. Not to mention, I don't know how you would judge whether something was truly intentional unless you are like Hamels and admit it.

                      Well when you see the footage, at first Quentin is just walking towards Greinke with no intention of charging, then suddenly he starts to charge. So my guess is that Greinke said something that triggered Quentin.

                      Although Quentin is one of my Favs, this was a bitch move.

                            Quentin was an idiot for charging. 3-2 pitch and 1 run game, yeah Greinke is really going to try to intentionally hit him. Oh well, Quentin can cry about getting hit all the time when he leans in to every pitch.

                                Hey Grienke...don't try and shoulder charge a guy who outweighs you by 50-60 pounds.
