That's pretty damn ridiculous. Most of the time, you can't avoid getting rear ended. Victim my ass. Greinke had plenty of time to avoid that confrontation. He didn't. He welcomed it. It just doesn't fit your argument, so you avoid that little fact.

There was no 95 mph fastball up and in to instigate this. There was a fastball mid height barely six inches inside that Quentin leaned into. |

No, blaming someone for not avoiding an assault by running away fast enough is what's ridiculous.

He did welcome it, but there are only a handful of times that I can think of where a pitcher has ever actually ran away. I think Greinke was trying to get low enough to sort of tackle Quentin or at least flip him. That is stupid but I do get where a professional athlete really doesn't want to run away from a guy charging him.

I think my shoulder would be just fine. Edit: Or better yet by turning and walking away and not opening my mouth to escalate the situation prior to the other guy actually charging.

Really? How's that? Answer this question: Could Greinke have avoided the confrontation by running away?

I don't think that any professional athlete would EVER do that.

There's an article in this thread where a professional athlete did just run away.

If Greinke actually had run away Quentin would have had to chase him down from behind while all Zach's teammates converged. Then clearly TCQ would be the bad guy in this situation.

No one is saying that Greinke should have run away. People are saying that he shouldn't have said anything in TCQ's direction. That's the difference between his situation and the hypothetical scenario you keep referring to. Assault victims don't scream, "Come over here and beat my ass." Greinke clearly said something to TCQ, and although I don't entirely accept TCQ's version of events, it's obvious that Greinke's mouth was moving. A word (or words) was spoken.

He could have turned and walked away the second Quentin got hit. He could have not glared at the guy he had just smacked with a baseball. He could have done ANY NUMBER of things other than what he did and he might be pitching on Tuesday. He chose to go the other way... |
