Ultimately, Pittsburgh is responsible for players they plunk, accident or not. Frieri can't control his pitches (trust me, I'm an Angels fan). Pittsburgh knew this could happen, but they evidently felt it was worth gambling knowing they could hurt an AZ batter... Snake eyes... If you're a MLB-er, you should really be able to avoid hitting someone, even if that means you can't throw certain pitches and/or in certain locations on the plate.

Never pull your punches in war, baseball included.

By the way, I couldn't help but notice this newspaper headline just ten days before Goldschmidt got hit: "Dodgers’ Justin Turner airs concerns after another beanball war, loss to Pirates".
http://www.dailynews.com/sports/2014...oss-to-pirates

In it the author reports:
Quote:
Turner’s left elbow was struck by a 97-mph fastball from Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Justin Wilson in the seventh inning Tuesday. Two Pirates batters were also hit by pitches in the Dodgers’ 12-7 loss.

This, after four different players were hit by pitches over the weekend in St. Louis. Hanley Ramirez and Yasiel Puig still haven’t played since being drilled and left with swollen left hands.
Of course, none of these involved those dirty Diamondbacks.

He goes on to say that McCutchen had been hit earlier--by a sinker no less--to load the bases, and suggests the obvious, that it was not intentional. Nonetheless,
Quote:
Wilson threw two inside pitches to Turner to start the seventh inning, the second one hitting Turner’s elbow guard. In his postgame comments to reporters, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle suggested that Wilson was merely trying to pitch hard inside.

Home plate umpire Toby Basner didn’t buy it. He ejected Wilson, warned both benches, then ejected Hurdle for arguing.
So again Pirates fans, say hello to Mrs. Kettle, and look in the mirror before taking shots at other teams.
