Brawls!

that was awesome. wish i could have heard any of it tho

maybe not... I think that's future Yankee blowhard John Sterling in the Braves' booth.

I know the '84 Padres were filled with crazed John Birchers, I think Flannery was one of them.

From the SI vault:

Umpire-in-chief John McSherry, who ejected 13 players altogether and cleared both dugouts after the ninth-inning fracas, said afterward that this game was "the worst thing I've seen in my life" and that it had "set baseball back 50 years." Williams, who is 55, hasn't been in the game that long, but he's definitely a baseball man of the old school. "We had some honor to defend," he said at a press conference Friday. "Perez is a headhunter. There's no question we went after him. I'm responsible for it. I'll accept the penalty, but I think it's pretty steep." Perez, who had hit only two batters in his previous 135 innings, denied he had been throwing at Wiggins, but was fined $300.

Lefferts is a pussy.

The guy who tries to steal the batter's helmet right at the end looks like Sean Astin

I don't think Flannery was one, but I could be wrong. Eric Show was the ringleader.

The Cleveland Indians' Sandy Alomar Jr. charges the mound and leaps at Detroit Tigers pitcher John Doherty after Alomar was hit by a pitch during their game at Tigers Stadium on June 8, 1992.

From what I've read--I was only three at the time--the only baseball brawl that seemed to be connected to the news of the day outside the game:

This was about a week after the Watts Riot.

the 14 heroes of Sunday's brawl

never too late in the year for some beanball games, or to get a reliever injured

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.

does that work?

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

— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 24, 2017

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)
