You're all over the place. Not once did you say the rule might, could or should apply--you basically held fast to your notion that since it was a bad pitch nothing else matters. Glad to see that you're back on point.
Next,I am not advocating that Scherzer do anything. I'm stating now that I thought it was a bush league play, and I expressing my opinion that I have no problem with Tabata getting plunked for it--pointing to examples of pitchers who no doubt did or likely would have done the same.
Finally, Goldschmidt was hit by a 93 MPH fastball moving up and in. He was hit in the 9th inning of a 9-4 game with nobody on base. The video is still available. BTW, so is a video of Morneau getting plunked the pitch after McCutcheon stood and admired his 100th career HR. Pirates seem to have difficulty understanding that others may take a different view of their conduct than what they see. Some get tired of hearing they pitch inside to keep the hitters honest and all that. Fine, do it, but if you keep hitting the other teams' players than prepare for the fallout. One is just as old school as the other.
