Brawls!

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.

@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:

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

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.

• Pirates pitcher Keone Kela has received a 10-game suspension for intentionally throwing a pitch in the area of the head of Derek Dietrich of the Reds in the bottom of the seventh inning and for his role in instigating the bench-clearing incident.
• Reds pitcher Amir Garrett has received an eight-game suspension for inciting the bench-clearing incident by running to the area outside the Pirates’ dugout and throwing a punch in the top of the ninth inning.
• Pirates infielder José Osuna has received a five-game suspension for his aggressive and inappropriate actions during the ninth inning incident.
• Reds pitcher Jared Hughes has received a three-game suspension for intentionally throwing a pitch at Starling Marte of the Pirates in the top of the ninth inning.
• Pirates pitcher Kyle Crick has received a three-game suspension for his inappropriate actions during the ninth inning incident.
• Cleveland Indians outfielder Yasiel Puig, who was then a member of the Reds, has received a three-game suspension for his aggressive actions during the ninth inning incident.
• Reds manager David Bell has received a six-game suspension for returning to the field following his ejection; escalating the incident with his aggressive actions; his Club’s intentional pitch at Marte; and his numerous ejections this season.
• Pirates manager Clint Hurdle has received a two-game suspension for his Club’s conduct during the incident and his Club’s multiple intentional pitches thrown at Dietrich this season.

kela's mistake was admitting that he'd thrown at dietrich. still kinda surprised he got more than garrett tho

is six games for a manager a record?

Dietrich must have honked off most of the division, as the Brewers also hit him 3 times in a game earlier this year.

that may have stoked the flames and helped lead to the 10 Cent Beer Night riot a few nights later between the same two teams

Man seems like nobody likes the Astros anymore.

laureano needs to work on his approach

in the spirit of the thread, youre sposed to link to some clips (I haven't seen any yet)

apparently this was the 3rd time he was hit this series, second time in a row - and the Astros fuckface hitting coach was taunting him from the dugout.

yep, Cintron appears at least as guilty as Laureano if not moreso

The tough guy on Astros bench deserves 10 games for telling Laureano to come at him and 40 for hiding behind everyone else when he did. https://t.co/1wbdextB4Y

20-game suspension for cintron

laureano got five

not terrible, laureano can still appeal ya?

A 20-game suspension for a coach is nearly unprecedented, no?

he was being a real special asshole

Yeah, I'd kick him out of the majors if I were commish, that's some first-class yellow-bellied chicken shit.
