Baseball fights are a thing of the past for the most part. They do not happen like they use to. The last truly great one we had before last night was when Arizona and Los Angeles went at it that included someone getting tackled over the dugout and Vin Scully narrating the whole damn thing. Reds-Pirates had an amazing donnybrook last night. Amir Garrett of the Reds decided to take on the whole Pirates dugout as they were chirping at him. He goes right at the throat a few players and tries to connect with a straight haymaker. If you somehow haven’t watched it, this thing is awesome.

There are some of you who might hate this, and I have to say, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ Fighting in sports is something we do on a regular basis. They’re celebrated because they do not happen often. And you cannot have it both ways. If you’re the type of person that bemoans the AAU culture that infects athletes where everyone is friends, you cannot hate this kind of hatred. Reds and Pirates do not like each other and made it damn clear through the whole thing. Tensions ran high tonight, and there will be oodles of suspensions and fines coming to both teams. The fans acted like it was a WWE main event with Stone Cold and The Rock going at it.

Of course, if there’s a fight, Yasiel Puig is involved. He is the type of guy who can never miss a fight. Do you have that friend? The one who sees a fight starting and has to be involved with it in some way. The best part about this one is Puig was no longer a part of the Reds when this happened last night. He got traded for Trevor Bauer less than 30 minutes prior.
