    Sorry if this should have gone on the running baseball thread, but it's something I've been curious about for a while.
    Is the reason for the fights and intentionally throwing at a batter because the players feel like somebody is fucking with their livelihood, that if somebody does something that could result in a career-ending injury, you can't let it go?
    Also, in ordinary, everyday life is the closest thing most of us experience to this sort of thing being cut off on the freeway?

    It's August. That's why it happens.

    They call this the Dog Days for a reason.
