Saturday's Fight Has Nothing On What Happened In Detroit Today

I know everyone is fired up for Mayweather/MacGregor, but there is zero chance Saturday tops what happened today in Detroit. We had not one, not two, but THREE BRAWLS FOLKS. In a hockey game sure, that's nothing. But baseball players are pussies. I can't remember the last time the Yankees got into it like they did today. And it was fantastic. 

Unfortunately, I was not watching because I had to make America fat again (I work in digital advertising for a fast food chain. Very fulfilling stuff). But from what I've seen on twitter, it all started with Fulmer going after Gary, you know the guy who has 10 home runs in his last 15 games? IMO, that was absolutely intentional. A guy that's hitting TOO well is basically the #1 reason to intentionally hit someone. But Fulmer didn't get tossed. No warnings given, Kahnle throws behind Miggy and gets tossed? I don't think so.

I can't talk to the nitty gritty details, but let's talk ramifications. There will probably be suspensions. Both of our catchers were involved today. You know who that leaves? Torreyes. I'm like 95% sure I heard them say the other day that he's who's up next after Romine. But more importantly, you don't want Gary's bat out of the lineup or to really do anything that will mess with how freaking hot he's hitting. Detroit had nothing to lose. They suck. We're in the playoff race.

I have to say while I did love the passion, by the third fight it's kinda like....let's be smart here guys. Don't want to pull a Kevin Brown punching the wall situation in the home stretch of the season. 

Now let's talk about my top two favorite highlights.

1. Romine flat out tackling Miggy: I don't know what it says about me, but that was pretty fucking sexy right? Cabrera comes at Romine in some weird sort of bitch slap tactic and Austin goes Stone Cold on his ass and just takes him out. 

2. Robertson sprinting in from the bullpen: hands down one of the best things I've ever seen. If Forrest Gump and the creepy dude from Get Out had a kid, it would be David Robertson. 

Overall, this kind of game lights the fire and passion in a team so I loved it. 

P.S. I'm new to this and have no clue how to embed a video in here so just google it or something.
