I finally got to see this so called fight between the Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke and Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin. To call this a fight is blasphemy, it was more like a wrestling match aka two shoulder blocks. I didn’t see one punch thrown so personally I can’t call it a fight without a punch thrown.
Quentin attacked Greinke after being hit with a pitch on a full count in the 6th inning. People feel Quentin was wrong for charging the mound but personally this wouldn’t be that big of a situation is Greinke didn’t break his collarbone during the match (I refuse to call this a brawl or fight so I’m going with match). Everyone is crying wolf now that Greinke is hurt but fights similar to this happen all of the time in baseball it is apart of the culture. Yes, it sucks that Greinke the 140 million dollar man will be out 8 weeks but injuries are apart of the game.
I’m not saying what Quentin did was right or wrong but if Greinke doesn’t get hurt this isn’t that big of a deal, we all know that.
Check out this so called fight that just happens to hurt the Dodgers star pitcher.
Quentin has been suspended for 8 games for his role in the match.
