Meh... runners on 2nd & 3rd. 1 out. Braun was going to be intentionally walked anyway - to load the bases in hopes of grabbing a double-play.

The Brewers had beaned 2 of our guys with nothing in return from the Dbacks... I can live with Lyin Braun getting beaned...

Agree 82.

And the real travesty is that Braun is allowed to play at all.

Exactly. I was just thrilled to see us actually have some pride for once and retaliate. It was a moot point as far as the grand slam was concerned cuz as 82 said, he was going to get walked either way.

Yep I had no problem with it. And they threw at us the night before as well and almost hit our pitcher in the head the inning prior.

Sadly we (the D-Backs) are going no place in 2014, though I'd a preferred the welt on Lyin Braun to be on his back where the 8 intersects! But that's just me....

Co-sign. Had they not hit a grand slam the next AB, this is a non-issue.

I was thrilled to see him get plunked. They could have hit the next 3 pitches out and I wouldnt have cared. Only thing that would have made it better is if Braun had charged the mound, we could use a good dust-up. But Braun is a gutless fellow so it would never happen.
