Prince Fielder needs to get over it. If Mota threw at his head, then Fielder is justified in going after Mota, but he's got to do it immediately. Mota did exactly what he is obliged to do, under "unwritten rule" 41.2e: "Keep the ball low when retaliating for your best hitter getting hit by a pitch." I would think Fielder would expect his pitchers to do the same for him if he got hit by a pitch first.
