“I was trying to sneak a fastball by him”. Jesus Christ this guy could be a politician. So obvious

[mexicanusrex]

This was weak. They need to introduce gladiatorial fights on the field

[nfamus]

I'll never understand the bullpens running out side by side then pushing and shoving after they get to the fight each other in the outfield if you want to get involved.

[gjazzy]

Marisnick is a great guy. He accepted retaliation from the Angles side.  Not an "eye for an eye" attitude but that of "whoever slaps you on your right cheek,  turn the other to him also." By this action he proved himself to be a real gentleman, even though he made one big mistake the other day.

Brad, we all know that it was intentional. It was up by the shoulders and it was Jake Marisnick. We all know what happened a week ago

[Ashleynotabot]

The bullpen got there before the dugouts

Benches clearing in MLB. Translation: whole lotta nothing.

[oldtimebaseball]

Marisnick shows class by wanting it to end. I got hit, I am OK lets get them back by winning.

[SuperHamrick]

I love how Angels players and Ausmus make it sound like it was an accident even though they could say it was intentional

The three most feared words in hockey: Let 'em go.

[SirMoeThend]

The catcher stands up as if to "hold Jake back" but instead Jake just takes 1st. Jake then motions to his dugout to head back and doesn't egg on or instigate anything. But yeah, Jake's a "dirty player."

[yakuzaohtani]

The TV broadcast didn’t capture the hostility of this game, there was so much tension all night. Jake’s boos were louder than Machados boos.

[whatthefeck]

I get why the angels threw the ball at jake but throwing the ball near his head and fans cheering it is beyond belief

[maverickv]

Yeah. That’s 5x more intentional than Jakes slide. Kind of mean words that they cheered on something that was just as bad and could’ve been worse. If Jake gets hit in the face there what happens? What is so different? Plus, this was intentional and the slide wasn’t.

[youwantcheeseonthatburger]

Noe Ramirez was suspended for 3 games and Bras Ausmus was suspended for 1 game

[grantbarbesin]

If you have the balls to throw at a guy...and I get they were sticking up for their teammate...but act like a man and tell them you did it on purpose don’t say it got away from me

[HowsGreg]

I like how the Jake and AJ handled it. “It’s a free shot” and Jake accepting it taking his base. Real class

[perrytheplatypus]

I was there and I was cheering every time jake came up cuz I’m a Astros fan

[MrZwapp]

That was the worst bench clearing video I've ever seen.

[austinsuttles]

I’m waiting for the breakdown P.S I can’t wait for Molina to tweet about this
