Getting your player ready...
Is anyone keeping track of Matt Holliday’s home runs after he gets hit by a pitch? Last year I saw him hit at least two on his next at-bat after being beaned by a pitcher. On April 13, he did it again against the D-backs!

Troy: Some of Holliday’s biggest and most meaningful home runs have come after he has been plunked. Two examples came against San Francisco’s Matt Cain two years ago. Who can forget Holliday yelling at Cain as he ran around the bases? — and in Philadelphia last September. In that Phillies series, it was like Holliday turned Hulk. They shouldn’t have made him angry. They didn’t like him angry.
