It logically, would not seem that grienke intentionally tried to hit Quentin. However, they apparently have a history and Quentin went crazy. Had grienke not gotten injured, nobody would have said anything
Greinke has hit him twice before but there are other pitchers who have hit him more. Quentin was just clueless to charge the mound in that situation. He would have been suspended regardless of the injury but my guess is that he will now get about 8-10 games instead of 4-5.
You dont know what Greinke said though. He hit Quentin twice before, and they had past beef. When someone like that pegs you in the arm, and then says something offensive? Itd be hard to keep your cool.
I couldnt care less what Greinke said. Quentin deserves a big suspension. Just no reason for him to have charged the mound in that situation.
You dont understand why he charged? He already disliked Greinke. Then Greinke nails him. Then he taunts him. Thats a great way to start a fight with a guy who already dislikes you if youre Greinke.
Unless you meant to hit someone, dont step forward and mouth off when they stare you down. If Greinke had just taken a walk around the mound, Quentin just glares and takes his base.
