I'm a Braves fan. Play legal. Bush in the fact he went for the jaw as opposed to the body, but perfectly legal. These are the big leagues, and crap happens. The play happened in the 8th inning, so Erstad hasn't batted yet. Depending on who is starting, and how pissed they are, he may get plunked more than once tonight. They may go for the head until they hit him in the head. They may plunk him once and be done with it. Just depends on what kind of control is shown by the Braves. Umpires may issue warnings at plate meeting. It would be prudent in this case, because replays indicate Erstad was trying to hurt Estrada, as opposed to just jarring ball loose. Since these teams may not meet again for a few years (barring World Series) you can bet Braves won't wait til next time for paybacks. The next two games will be quite interesting.
Edited to add...
Braves have been in a funk for the last couple of weeks so Bobby may go ahead and plan a vacation and let the chips fall where they may.
