I’ll ask you the reverse, what is letting it slide going to do? Do we not protect teammates anymore or what

Someone better get plunked next inning. Absolutely, 100%

I'd say more along the line of drilled, not plunked.  This garbage will keep happening until we show that we're not going to put up with it any longer.

Who is gonna get bonked?

For those of you pining for Brooks Lee, this may be your chance.

[CoastiePilot08]

I had to turn it off. How bad was C4 HBP

Well Rocco is making a move so I guess it’s not happening 🙄

Bad enough that he immediately walked off the field and didn’t even look at it

Doesn’t look good. Went immediately to the dugout. Looks like a possible broken wrist.

They pulled Ketel . They know what's coming

[umterp23]

Even if Thielbar wasn't instructed to hit the Carrol, nothing wrong with let one fly to the back stop behind him and then get the out.

Who cares.  This ain't the old school anymore.  All it's gonna do is get a Twins pitcher suspended because unlike the Dbacks incompetent pitchers, the Twins pitcher would be aiming at the batter.  I don't think Correa is gonna cold shoulder the bullpen for not hitting someone.

I specifically said pitchers, not third basemen. 

But yes on Goltz and Perkins.

I’m sure the batters probably care since they’re the ones being pelted at a league leading rate. I don’t know, but I’d hope we could stomach the suspension of Caleb thielbar or Cole sands. If they even got suspended

9th inning, delayed satisfaction. Let one go by and wake the home plate umpire up so he gets a good look at it. 

[mnfireman]

Too many pitchers trying to throw inside that have no idea where the pitch is going. Buxton has been hit twice this series, Castro once and now Correa. As a pitcher you have answer for your stars getting hit by hitting one of theirs.

It's not like we are getting hit intentionally. I don't believe in that kind of retaliation. Not sure the answer, but to respond by intentionally hitting someone for not intentionally getting hit is just plain stupid, imo. And potentially dangerous.

[Aggies7]

Easy going Rocco apparently won’t order it anyway.

Get someone ejected and/or suspended.

Doesn’t have to be intentional to warrant a response. You’re in the majors, control your pitches. Been going on all year.

I'd rather the umpires warn the Dbacks pitchers. Next hit batter, someone is out. And I agree, the pitchers need better control, that's the problem. But retaliating by intentionally hitting someone from their team? No. I think that's dumb. just my opinion. So how do you respond? what should they do?

[tony&rodney]

Festa looked decent but the Diamondbacks took some very effective swings against him in the 4th inning. It is always difficult to know if a pitcher loses their edge when they have a huge lead. 

I'm not sure what to say about Correa being HBP but hopefully he is ok because Carlos is easily the Twins MVP; nobody else even is close in value to C4.

Tit for tat, I say.
