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.

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.— Michael Young (@MikeyY626) May 30, 2017

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.

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.

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
― k3vin k., Thursday, 24 August 2017 20:18 (six years ago) link
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

The above clips don't show Cabrera talking at and stepping toward Romine (not the plate) just beforehand.
― Andy K, Thursday, 24 August 2017 20:34 (six years ago) link
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.

@joshmansourVerlander 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.

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.βYou go look at that, how many punches did I throw? Zero,β Castellanos said. βAnd I had ... five people on top of me, and Iβm getting drilled from all angles. For somebody thatβs not throwing any punches? You guys be the judge of that.β
