Brawls!

If the Cleveland-Detroit series continues the way it started (and the way their previous series went), there could be a player-involved on-field delay of some sort before it's over.

does this count as disrespecting the troops y/n

wasn't especially dumber than our last 70 years of wars

why does Bryce have an umbrella in his back pocket?

I've arm sided my helmet in the tunnel many a time. Gotta chuck it by the ear flap, not the bill. More velo, more accuracy.

batting gloves

so this is doing the rounds in los angeles

Is that an Australian accent on one of the cops there? Sounds non American anyway.
Think I heard something about cops getting foreign transfers a few years ago, but I think it might have been brits to Australia.
Better pay and working conditions or something.

no idea

also i just realized this thread is in the baseball subforum

there's not much info as to what started this or who the people involved are

!!!

wow

not really sure why romine got tossed

Guess he was supposed to run away.

footage?

Sanchez was drilled after hitting a bunch of home runs this series, then Kahnle was ejected for throwing near Cabrera (which understandably made Girardi irate enough to be ejected), then Cabrera appeared to go after Romine for just being there. All bad.

Miguel Cabrera caught hands with Austin Romine 😳😳😳

drilling a guy for hitting well is maybe the dumbest move in baseball

gary sanchez got a cheap shot in at someone (castellanos?) who was being held down by other people

looks to me that romine took his mask off and confronted cabrera, which escalated the situation

And now McCann just took one in the helmet.

i don't *think* that was intentional -- or it was, it was dumb as hell -- but if the umps leave betances in, this will get even uglier

good thing the yankees have a lot of coaches

The above clips don't show Cabrera talking at and stepping toward Romine (not the plate) just beforehand.

And it's possible this bullshit was carried over from HBP exchanges of the previous series.

Would like to think Fulmer's smart enough to not throw intentionally. He did act like it got away from him -- enough to prompt a trainer visit -- for whatever that's worth.

"He fucking hit me in the head."

James McCann was livid after taking a 98-mph Dellin Betances FB to his helmet. He should be. So stupid. pic.twitter.com/zHxc6eDwfg

Betances couldn't believe he was ejected, like he was air-dropped into the stadium without knowledge of what just went down. Probably the only funny thing about this game.

jesus

More bullshit now.

(also verlander and castellanos are unhappy with victor martinez for consorting with the enemy)

The number of fines might be greater.

@joshmansour
Verlander flipped off Victor Martinez in dugout for standing with Sanchez as Castellanos told of cheap shot. V-Mart then had to be held back

Suspend everyone.

man i wish miguel montero and brian "james' brother" mccann aka "the right way" were involved somehow.

The Verlander-Martinez bit was just replayed. Didn't see a middle finger from Verlander but there was a definite F-you from him at Martinez.

Nobody's going to Mangonadas del Barrio after this one.

All worth it for this shot of Sabathia:

Brett Gardner is ANGRY.

This is the shot in the arm the Yankees need

it's crazy how mad adults get at things

coddled-from-childhood pro athletes = ~adults

they've never been on the B63 bus at rush hour

Castellanos did talk about the first benches-clearing incident, which led to a brawl in the sixth inning. With Miguel Cabrera and Austin Romine tussling on the ground, Castellanos went diving in to try to break things up.

There, Castellanos got punched, by his count, five times, including once from Gary Sanchez, whose sucker-punch game seems to match his power game.

“You go look at that, how many punches did I throw? Zero,” Castellanos said. “And I had ... five people on top of me, and I’m getting drilled from all angles. For somebody that’s not throwing any punches? You guys be the judge of that.”

the weirdest thing about fighting in baseball is the honor code and protocol.

wait till you hear about fighting in hockey

• Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera has received a seven-game suspension for inciting the first bench-clearing incident and fighting.
• Yankees catcher Gary Sánchez has received a four-game suspension for fighting, including throwing punches.
• Tigers pitcher Alex Wilson has received a four-game suspension for intentionally throwing a pitch at Todd Frazier of the Yankees while warnings were in place for both sides.
• Yankees catcher Austin Romine has received a two-game suspension for fighting, including throwing punches.
• Tigers manager Brad Ausmus has received a one-game suspension for the intentional actions of Wilson while warnings were in place.

romine got jobbed

my reason for suspending Romine wd be "general dickishness"

1982

Players, coaches and managers converged, with several fights erupting. It took the umpires nearly 10 minutes to restore order.
