Real or not? Despite Puig's fire, Reds already are toast

The beginning of this little Reds-Pirates fracas on Sunday at PNC Park was somewhat predictable. Derek Dietrich hit a long home run off Chris Archer in the second inning into the Allegheny River ... and, well, he did admire his work:

You know how this goes. Pitcher doesn't like hitter admiring his work. So next time up, pitcher throws at hitter. Like it's the hitter's fault the pitcher threw him a fat one down the middle.

Some people defended Archer. Old-school baseball and all that. At least he threw it behind Dietrich and not at him, like we see all too often. Still, stop throwing at batters who hit home…
