The best thing about it is that Kemp didn't know that there would be any video or publicity about it. In the midst of what's beginning to look like a very disappointing season for both Kemp and the Dodgers, it's nice to be reminded that some things are more important than which team wins the game.

Davewalk All-Star Author Los Angeles Posts:750 Points:1,981,850 Joined:Apr 2006	Message Posted: Apr 15, 2013 12:14:32 AM Ignore Davewalk Report Abuse I didn't say I was OK with a "head shot". As someone who's played the game, don't you think it's possible to make a distinction between an inside pitch and a pitch thrown with intent to hit the batter? Call it intimidation if you want to, but the inside pitch has always been a part of any pitcher's arsenal. And getting hit by a pitch doesn't give a batter the right to go out to the mound and injure a pitcher.
benjy Champion Author Chicago Posts:8,581 Points:1,784,770 Joined:Nov 2003	Message Posted: Apr 14, 2013 11:50:20 PM Ignore benjy Report Abuse so any head shot by a pitcher would be accepted by you then, the inside pitch will always be nothing more than intimidation, maybe it's my bad but I'm with the batter on this one. I've played the game, I'm left-handed, and I got hit many times. You want to complain, bitch at the Catcher for not being quick enuf to stand up for his battery mate.

Pitchers need to be able to throw inside to keep hitters off the outside pitch, and ultimately to be successful at all. That's the way the game has always been played.

And if your making Mega Millions to pitch, you should be good enough not to need the inside pitch. I hope Quentin gets half off on his appeal. Shame on you Reb4.

When Quention was with the White Sox, Quentin was hit repeatedly and typically would lead the Sox in hit batsman. Quention got hit Alot worse that that play from Greinke. Quentin made a half hearted attempt to get out of way of pitch... Interesting that a previous pitch to Kemp was high (head high) and inside. Kemp got out of way but he made an effort to do so, unlike Quentin.

HELLRAZOR Champion Author Las Vegas Posts:7,552 Points:1,076,725 Joined:Jan 2010	Message Posted: Dec 17, 2012 12:39:08 AM Ignore HELLRAZOR Report Abuse Hey, Dodgers, Arte Moreno is calling you out! A little mano a mano action. I’m not sure if his Angels are playing in the American League West or in some imaginary division where his Angels line up across the Dodgers every night. He rolled some serious dice Saturday and signed slugging outfielder Josh Hamilton to a five-year contract for $125 million, and what did he say to The Times’ Bill Plaschke? “The Dodgers, Merry Christmas, I personally can hardly wait to play them,” he said. Really? Moreno has a bug about the Dodgers. I guess it’s an inferiority complex. Which is not really so much about their play on the field as their standing in the Los Angeles area, where Moreno apparently wants to badly to be considered an equal with the Dodgers. And that will never happen. As in, never. I don’t care if he calls his team the Los Angeles Angels of Los Angeles, the City of Angels belongs to the Dodgers. Always has, always will. The Angels are the bigger team in Orange County, I guess, but that’s not enough for Moreno. He can’t just ask his marketing people to try and own the Inland Empire and expand north, he looks lustfully to Los Angeles and points west. All those people, all those marketing possibilities, all that big-name prestige. If only they could just play on the field and winner take all. “Think about how much fun it's going to be,” Moreno said. “Dodger fans and Angel fans get to argue about whose team is better, who's stronger, who's weaker … do you know how much fun it's going to be?” You’d think he would be more excited about chasing down the Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers, teams that finished ahead of the Angels in the AL West last season, than worrying about the Dodgers. Be more concerned about reversing declining attendance than trying to plant a flag across the county line. Nope, he wants to arm wrestle Mark Walter. He wants headlines in the Los Angeles Times. He desperately wants to be the top baseball dog in Southern California. Wants the rest of the nation to view his Angels as the superior Los Angeles team. Some people just never know when to be happy. Maybe it all comes down to money in the end or maybe Moreno is just a highly competitive sort who should be admired. The Angels have won four of six games against the Dodgers the last two seasons, but Moreno wants more. Think he goes after Hamilton if the Dodgers don’t sign right-hander Zack Greinke away from the Angels? Maybe, but the Angels need high-end starters more than they do star everyday players. It’s kind of strange, Moreno’s fixation with the team from Chavez Ravine. It’s almost as if he goes to bed every night wresting with thoughts of how he can usurp the Dodgers’ spell over Los Angeles. I guess this Dodgers envy thing has worked how pretty well for the San Francisco Giants recently, so all the best of luck Moreno. Hope Hamilton delivers. Hope your offense rocks. Just hope if you ever personally win a World Series, you’re not seen on the podium, holding the trophy aloft and saying, “Take that, Dodgers!” Somehow I fear your dreams would still be cast in nightmarish blue. And how much fun is that going to be?
