I'm of the opinion that some additional form of penalty should be levied on Genesis Cabrera (for hitting Bryce Harper and Didi Gregorius on the next pitch) and Carlos Martinez (for hitting Pirates catcher Jacob Stallings) -- both in the face.
Both Harper and Stallings handled it professionally as the pitchers seemed devastated.
But their lack of care is inexcusable and could have ended careers.
What do others think?
FWIW, I've followed the Cardinals for decades and seldom miss a game.

Harper told Shildt that he prayed for Cabrera and offered to speak with the pitcher if he wanted.

I’ve never been a big Harper fan, but that’s a masterclass in handling something with class
