It's like Carlos Quentin wants to get hit by balls. It's his 7th year in the majors and he's been hit by 116 of them already! He's on track to get hit by at least 200 by the end of his career. :/
Greinke doesn't deserve to get bopped because the other guy can't control himself. Even if he said something provocative (which he probably did), Quentin shouldn't have even tried to do anything. Most people I see get hit take the fucking hit and just walk to 1st base. Of course I don't know what was said, but it could have been along the lines of "can you just walk?" Quentin was already motioning toward Greinke before anything was said anyway.
Plus if you look at the actual pitch, it was barely getting into the batter's box. Quentin basically turned into the pitch instead of pulling back.
I like how the NHL used to handle these kinds of issues. Scott Stevens ends the career of Eric Lindros in the 2000 playoffs and doesn't even get a 2 minute penalty.
Grienke should've ran like hell when Quentin charged him. The catcher prolly should've bear hugged him just as he took the 1st step forward.
i love how the BLue Jays try to wrap themselves up in the flag of the Dominican Republic, but let Carlos Villanueva go.

10 games, Stanton has no HRs or RBIs. Marlins as a team only have 4 HRs. Intentionally lowering his value to get traded...is a possibility.
I'd say the biggest factor is that pitchers aren't going to give him much to hit. I'd rather walk Stanton and pitch against almost any other Marlin hitter.
Stanton needs to be traded, he deserves to be on a quality ball-club.
Well the Mariner's season went to shit really quickly. Losing two series against the Astros is not how they wanted to start the season (sorry Houston fans ;p)
I was working at this game, but sadly I was making a sale at the time and didn't see the play unfold on the field. It was hilarious to see the reactions of the fans around me and their looks of complete and utter disbelief.
Was anyone watching this game live? This has got to be shopped, either that or Ben Revere drinks a shitload of Red Bull.
That's one of the best OF catches ever.
what you mean 1 of the best 1,000,000 OF catches ever ?
did you see the first 2 steps he took right after the ball was hit? he misjudged it. its a nice catch made to appear more spectacular because his first few steps were bad.
Ichiro Suzuki woulda had that ball in his hip pocket. Devon White caught line drives like that every week... and 1 of his World Series catches became a triple play.
the Revere catch was "nice"... was it one of the best OF catches in the 100+ year history of baseball .. ummm .. not even close.

Who the fuck does this guy think he is?! They show so little care for their team in any way, and now he starts meddling in day to day managing affairs?! Does he think he is Steinbrenner now? The Marlins ownership have gone out of their way to show their stupidity every damn year...
I wouldn't bother me so much if the ownership actually seemed to care at all about their team, their fans, and their situation, but no, they screw players, screw the city of Miami and seem to laugh about it, and now seem to care about this stupid thing?
