I thought Zach Greinke was a dead man on Saturday.
Let’s set the table. Delmon Young had hit a bomb to left-center. Two innings later, Jason Kubel led the inning off with a triple. Delmon Young came up and with the first pitch, Zach Greinke threw at his head. No doubt it was intentional, given what had already happened in the game, and the fact that Greinke is having a suspension reviewed for throwing at Nick Swisher in his previous start. And then, there was DY’s history with reacting to personal affronts.
All that said, imagine my surprise when after all that, this was as far as things got. Perhaps its the soothing influence that is Ron Gardenhire, mellowing Young out. Probably not.
