Twitter reactions to D-backs and Dodgers brawl

The benches cleared twice on Tuesday night between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers.
After Kennedy unintentionally threw at Yasiel Puig in the bottom of the sixth, Zack Greinke threw at D-backs catcher Miguel Montero, which caused the benches to empty, but no punches were thrown.
In the bottom of the seventh, Kennedy hit Greinke, which caused the benches to empty again. Punches were thrown in one of the ugliest brawls of the MLB season.
Here is some of the Twitter reaction of baseball analysts.
Zack Greinke is gritty.

Dodgers fans tweeting me all butt hurt that Kennedy threw at Greinke — Tough! Pitchers are fair game too and Greinke hit 2 Dbacks!

Sucks being the team that hit someone unintentionally first. Greinke obviously hit miggy on purpose, but gets nothing but a warning

Kirk Gibson, Mark McGwire, Matt Williams & Don Mattingly all in each others face #dbacks #dodgers twitter.com/MarkMcClune/st…

All started by a pitch thrown by a pitcher who had no intent of hitting the batter. So predictably stupid.

McGwire was all over Gibson and Williams. Grabbing jerseys & barking. Looked like a season of frustration boiling over.#Dodgers #Dbacks

I get the distinct impression the #Dbacks and #Dodgers are not too fond of each other.

Eagle-eyed @ken_rosenthal, watching the brawl replay in the seat next to me, spotted Don Mattingly take down bench coach Alan Trammell.
