Dodgers-Padres Brawl

[robblin17]

Video is not yet available, but you can access it through gameday on mlb.com. Kemp had a pitch thrown over his head and then Greinke hit Quentin. Quentin charged the mound and a pretty good scrum ensued. Quentin, Kemp, and Hairston ended up getting ejected after a second dust up ensued. It was pretty awesome. 

 

Must be nice to watch some teams that show some passion and intensity.

Quentin is an idiot.  Why would Greinke intentionally hit him on a 3-2 count in a 2-1 game in the 6th inning?

 Agree. Still pretty exciting stuff. 

[bdavis621]

Remember when the Angels players used to do that. That was a time when the team actually cared about winning.

[Halos of Anaheim]

I kind of miss Greinke. He gave us some good starts, would rather have him right now than Hamilton.

Hey, he got Greinke, Kemp and Hairston ejected, so he did something right

[LBHalos17]

There's a crappy vid of it on youtube already... looks like the Doyyers catcher was a bit slow to realize why Quentin was walking toward the mound.  Then, Greinke just ducks his head in Quentins' headlock..  It's no Canada/Mexico headliner

[Ray McKigney]

That was hilarious. I felt bad for Greinke. He's so skinny and meek. He looked like was going to start crying after it was over. Matt Kemp was so pissed off he looked like his head was going to splode.

[Angel Oracle]

Quentin is garbage. Umps used to enforce the trying to get hit on purpose, like when the Giants did it during Drysdale's 58 2/3 scoreless innings but the ump called the batter back to the plate.

Quentin purposely leaned into the pitch.

No offense but I don't think you're old enough to remember that. They haven't been that kind of team in a VERY long time.

But didn't.

Back when we sucked so bad guys like Brochettes would hit people and start shit because there was nothing else to play for.

[2002_halos_II]

It's been replayed on MLBN several times. CQ did not lean in to get hit. Jeez.

[robblin17]

Todd Greene disagrees!

[mp170.6]

Just announced:  Greinke to 60-day DL with cranial rectal inversion.

[bdavis621]

No, I am talking about the 2000's not the 1970's-1990's teams. 

[mancini79]

Quentin didn't lean into the pitch, but he wasn't plunked intentionally.

[2002_halos_II]

Just what the Angels need to get out of their slump.

I never understood guys who charge the mound after getting hit in a situation when the pitcher obviously wasn't throwing at them.

[sneaky_flute]

these baseball fights always look like something out of west side story. when was the last time someone threw a real punch?

[2002_halos_II]

Padres actually beat the Dogs yesterday.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

I agree 100% strad. I was thinking the Don Baylor days of the late 70s or early 80s. It's been that long since the Angels were brawlers.

[gurn67]

You mean that befuddled look that Sosh gives the ump every now and then doesn't fire up the troops???

[mancini79]

Zach out with a fractured left collar bone. Quentin will probably get a 2 game suspension while Zach is on the DL for 30-60 days.

I just nominated Baylor on the "Next Angels Manager" thread.

 

Always liked his toughness.

Mexico/Canada last month in the WBC.
