The Braves are known for playing the game "the right way," so to speak. I think it's a bit militaristic and red-ass, but you really can't argue with their incredible success under the Cox regime. So I can see a team like the Brewers, and Fielder in particular, getting under their skin.
As for Macha and the Brewers, I would have retaliated by drilling Chipper and Hayward <i>hard</i> after Fielder got plunked. They even threw over Fielder's head before the beaning, so Milwaukee has a right to be pissed.
I don't like beanball wars...nobody does. But you've got to protect your own, and if the Brewers have really been hit that often, something has to be done.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I love beanball wars. I wish MLB didn't go all pussy and just let the players handle their business like they did in the old days.
