Lots of boney-armed little prima donnas acting like they've actually won a division title in the last 30 years. Herrera should get 15 days, same as a DL trip.
Holy Moses! Get real, you're 180 off track.
Laurie should not have been ejected. It was a rough play but I really don't think it was that bad.Lawrie slides with spikes high and injures Escobar - NO EJECTION
Ventura plunks Lawrie - Immediate Ejection
Kazmir retaliates by hitting Cain - NO EJECTION
Herrera throws behind Lawrie - Immediate Ejection
1. A's started this, Royals did not. A's CONTINUED it. Royals only answered TWO plays in which the A's should have been ejected, but weren't.
2. Why was neither Lawrie NOR Kazmir ejected? What they did is as much of a message to other teams as it is to MLB that they are not going to put up with what other teams are doing.
3. Media can paint whatever picture they want, but in my view, Royals did the right thing. If they don't do what they did, they look like a pushover.
4. Royals players know that every player on their team has their back.
5. If teams are doing this because they don't like the Royals swagger, then they just need to get over that. Playing dirty because you don't like that someone celebrates after a great play is immature. Grow up and GET OVER IT. If you don't want to see Royals celebrate great plays, then don't let them make them.
The throwing near someone's head is starting to get blown out of proportion. It was numbers to letters high and behind him. Also, Kazmir didn't miss a spot all night and he somehow misses/hits Cain in his best asset with the first pitch when there were 2 outs in the first inning in the game following Reddick's comments the night before where he claimed the A's would retaliate? Kazmir threw low to make it seem like he wasn't throwing at Cain, but you can't sit there and tell me that he didn't intentionally throw at Cain.Laurie should not have been ejected. It was a rough play but I really don't think it was that bad.
I missed Saturdays game so I'm not sure
I have a hard time seeing how this is on purpose at all. It is a pitch low and inside that misses even farther low and inside. Both benches were warned after anyway.
He threw at him twice. He was even given an additional warning. He needs suspended. No place for throwing near someone's head 100 mph.
I don't really follow the Royals but it is nice to see one of the semi local teams win. I have had a hard time cheating for them this weekend though. They have been extremely immature about this.
"Head area" is a joke.. I am sorry but if MLB is serious about protecting the batters then it needs to take a harder stance on it... Think targeting in college football.. If you hit anyone intentional or not you are ejected.
But this one retaliation is ok and one is not because it was at the upper 3rd of ones body is a joke.

You gotta be able to throw inside. There are already enough guys who lean into pitches as it is. Plus, it's not like there's this rash of debilitating injuries in baseball like there is in football. You can't throw a guy out just for hitting someone.
Brett Lawrie on crowd at Kauffman Stadium. RT @JaneMLB: Lawrie says, "Shame on their fans for antagonizing everything that went on there."
