You want it to stop? Let players retaliate. It's a whole lot easier to punch someone in the face if you know there's no chance you'll get punched back.

And there is no evidence that retaliation is an effective deterrent to dirty play in any sport. For example, what stopped the headshots, low bridging, etc., that were endemic to the NBA in the Pat Riley era. Hint: It sure as hell wasn't retaliation.

Another side benefit of Urena's dumbassery is that we don't get to see whether Acuna would have homered for a 6th consecutive game.

ec,

You really should watch Realmuto's reaction right after Acuna was hit. He was not happy.

I can't imagine he would be happy. He knows what comes next. McCutchen had the same issue a few years ago when Pittsburgh broke Goldy's hand.

And wow, was that the slowest developing "brawl" ever?

That and having a completely taxed bullpen, and lineup. 3 weeks with 2 doubleheaders, lots of travel, and no days off is taxing.

Even the toughest guys get banged up over the course of a season.

technically..

"According to Elias, because of Rule 9.23, Acuna's streak of homering in five straight games remains intact because he was hit by the pitch in his only plate appearance. They have not yet determined if the leadoff home-run streak of three games remains intact.

wow I hadn't seen the pitch... that did not look like a missed attempt at coming inside. there will be ramifications

eta: didn't realize I was quoting the announcers.

why were they saying it was a concern for both teams, does urena throw at people?

“They’re killing you. You lost three games. He’s hit three home runs. You got to hit him,” said Hernandez, speaking to his broadcast colleague Wayne Randazzo. “I’m sorry, people aren’t going to like that. You know, you got to hit him, knock him down. I mean, seriously knock him down if you don’t hit him. You never throw at anybody’s head or neck.

Who is Hernandez? I get brushing him back, but no need to actually plunk him.

Keith Hernandez is the absolute worst. He is a big proponent of unwritten rules, "productive outs", and lots of other dumb **** from the 1970s.

Can we get a refresher of all the season-long bets for update purposes?

Michael Kay would like to compare Urena/Acuna to Harding/Kerrigan.
