Quentin vs Greinke

[BUDSFAULT]

Quentin spoke the first words, it is impolite to ignore someone.

But he should try English next time to prevent an answer like
"Speak english bitch!"

 

[HammerDown]

I keep watching the video and I just don't see where Q spoke first. And did you notice how neither of them were dumb enough to start throwing punches? I'm also proud that almost every other player on the Padres was trying to be a peacemaker. I wish I could have seen what Adrian Gonzalez first reaction was.

 

[HammerDown]

It's also funny how calmly Davey Lopes come walking up from 3rd at about :28.

 

[Shanemansj13]

You can't see it on that low-quality video. You could tell he was walking while saying something in some unknown language.

 

[HammerDown]

Oh wait. Greinke hit him 4 years ago? Oh, OK, there is history then...

You asked about history?

 

[calsnowskier]

And he gets hit by every other pitcher as well; typically camps out over the plate; and makes no effort to get out of the way of close pitches.

But you are right. It is probably ALL about Greinke.

 

[HammerDown]

I didn't say it, Jayson Stark pointed out the fact that Greinke hits Carlos Quentin 10,000% more often than every other batter he's faced put together. And it's also a fact that he wasn't camping out on that pitch. I posted photographic proof.

And I'll continue to ignore the snide little insulting remarks from you. Simply not interested.

8 game suspension for quentin

 

[OregonDucks]

Quentin is appealing it.

 

[HammerDown]

LOL Dick Enberg just called it a "bench-clearing donnybrook."

 

[Shanemansj13]

8 game suspension for quentin

LOL

 

[calsnowskier]

As much a doosh as I think Q was in this situation, I do not think he deserved more than a game or two. I am guessing it got at long because of his confrontation after the game.

That's 8 games too many.

 

[calsnowskier]

Hairston only got a 1 game punishment. I compared his jetting out if the dugout to an NBA payer leaving the bench.

Order had been restored, and he stormed the field. He needed to be intercepted before he got to the padres bench, and that is only worth 1 game?

Kemp and Greinke have not been punished yet.

 

[Shanemansj13]

That's 8 games too many.

And Greinke pretty much got his suspension. DL for prob 2 months

He shouldn't have plunked Quentin and then run his cocksucker.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It was an accident and Quentins' fat ass deserved it, he crowds the plate like a MF (not on that particular at-bat but normally). Fuck em!

And he used to play for the SOX.

Not sure I'm understanding your point?.....the after game altercation from what I've heard was initiated by Kemp attacking Quentin......don't see how that would play into Q's suspension.....

I think the biggest disappointment in all of this is Jerry's juvenile, antagonistic behavior. I expected much better of Jerry than that. I don't know who he was pointing and yelling at but that was just plain disappointing to see a well-respected, classy veteran acting the way he did to a team that treated him right. Maybe guys like Dave Roberts and Davey Lopes can help him understand how a stand-up guy acts in those situations.

 

[HammerDown]

So let's have a quick recap.

1.) Zach Greinke has a history of hitting Carlos Quentin 10,000% more often than all other batters he's ever faced COMBINED.
2.) He hits Q with a fastball in the elbow.
3.) He tells Q "FUCK YOU"
4.) We all call Q a douchebag for defending his honor as a fucking MAN

What am I missing here???
