Actually, no. Only if the player or team thinks there was intent do teams retaliate. If reality was how you say it is, then a pitcher would probably get thrown out in every single game because players get hit all the time.

I will just leave this here. The Cardinals and their fans are the worst.

It was not a fastball and you could see it slip out of his damn hand. Quit trying to be even more dramatic than you already are. Montero and Haren don’t react like that if it was intentional in any way. Stop being a HS girl.
