Ok, so tomorrow, we're up 10 - 1, and you bring in Kintzler, who drills Holliday. What have you proven? I want to know what tangible point have we proven? That we'll play tit for tat? You know how this goes. You KNOW that this will NOT result in the Cardinals ceasing to hit batters or pitch inside, so I'm asking, not sarcastically, what tangible benefit the scenario you're laying out will provide. That if you continue to risk injuring our players by throwing up and in, you risk your players getting injured in retaliation. If they were hitting him with breaking balls in the thigh and back I wouldn't have the issue of retaliating. But they,re coming in and high. Retaliating feels like the only thing you can do. Not reacting hasn't stopped it. Scoring Gomez hasn't stopped it. So, I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, but that is not a benefit to the Brewers. Do you believe that this will put an end to the Cardinals hitting Brewers batters? That's what I'm asking, and no one will say "yes, I think hitting Holliday/Adams in the back of the hand and risking injury will actually change the way the Cardinals play". That's what I'm asking, and no one will actually affirm that. (I suspect because nobody believes it to be true). So again, what actual BENEFIT will we get? Will they stop throwing at Gomez? No. So what have you gained? Except maybe a suspension, and a further beanball war?
