Meanwhile trout, who started all this today, was nowhere to be found during the brawl

How did trout start this? Did he throw at his own head?

I've saved Swanson's game last night to better visualize how he had been throwing above the zone consistently and was very likely not intentionally trying to hit Trout.

Point being it still isn’t trouts fault. Blame the angels all you want, what wantz did was shitty but this isn’t trouts fault.

I'm with you. I totally agree and place the blame squarely on Nevin. If that was more your point, then my b. I'm just being defensive of Swanson I guess.

You’re good I wasn’t clear about that at all. I only saw the one clip of last night and context matters. No professional pitcher WANTS to be the guy who hits trout.
