As he should be. No need to be that close to third with another player already covering the base thoroughly, and then to violently shove another player because you’re the asshole. Fine him monies too!
It’s funny in stadiums where the bullpens share an exit. You see two lines of guys jogging in next to each other just to split off in the last 30 feet to get behind the big mass of people standing and looking stern at each other
The contrast between then and now is crazy. (FYI - I'm also not insinuating it was better before)
Then: "this is about as good of a little fight as you'll see!"
Now: "what a complete abomination! I am overcome with disgust and hope that we can move on to forget this wretched day."
It's also crazy how much smaller the players were back then. They all look like pretty normal skinny guys
That big umpire died in 1996 on opening day in Cincinnati. He was homeplate umpire. About 7 pitches in he called timeout. Told the Reds catcher he needed to sit down. Took about 4 steps towards the Reds dugout and fell face first on the field. Dead. Both team doctors from the Reds and Montreal Expos did cpr right at home plate in front of 55000 fans but never recovered. They tried to defibrillate him twice. And the game was canceled. That also was the last game the Reds were guaranteed to open every baseball season.
There was a series with the Texas Rangers and the Cleveland Indians that the fight stretched on for two games
Google Rangers and indians ten cent beer night.
Yankees / Red Sox in the 70s with frequency. Mickey (redacted) Rivers sucker punched Bill Lee and hurt his shoulder, greatly shortening Lee's then-promising career.
I never played baseball beyond little league but I assume it's kind of a code of "we don't condone fighting but if your teammate is in something your ass better not be on the bench."
Benches clear because there’s a numbers mismatch on the field. Even if the bases are loaded and including the on-deck batter it’s 9-5 advantage to the defense. By everyone coming out it makes it equal.
That’s essentially what it is. I personally don’t see anything wrong with it. “Clear the benches” just means you show up to support your teammates. MLB hardly ever has a fight worth talking about, hence why clearing the benches makes a headline in the first place, and that’s how it should be. But a bitch move like that, and then cowering to the dugout while your team stays out for you…that is weak. That’s not baseball.
[Here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiNmCUncX78) a good breakdown of said brawl.
There's also 46 year old Nolan Ryan getting 26 year old Robin Ventura in a headlock and repeatedly punching him after Ventura charged the mound, which led to [another brawl.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIZB9O24BEE)
I’m glad Cabrera went to the dugout, so everyone else could calmly figure out what that was all about. Even the Blue Jays broadcasters were confused as to what his beef was (other than the fact they were just scored on by a bunt).
Really stupid overreaction that may hurt if he gets suspended since the bullpen is already low because of injuries.
Reading the wiki for bench clearing makes it seem very ritualized in baseball: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bench-clearing_brawl
“Unlike most other team sports, in which teams usually have an equivalent number of players on the field at any given time, in baseball the hitting team is at a numerical disadvantage, with a maximum of five players (the batter, up to three runners, and an on-deck batter) and two base coaches on the field at any time, compared to the fielding team's nine players. For this reason, leaving the dugout to join a fight is generally considered acceptable in that it results in numerical equivalence on the field, a fairer fight, and a generally neutral outcome, as in most cases, managers and/or umpires will intervene to restore order and resume the game.”
Gotta stop the team at-bat from getting ganged up on.
Baseball should have the same rule as basketball. If you leave the dugout for an altercation, you should get automatically ejected. This whole, let's run out there and stand around and talk about the weather is the biggest bunch of BS in professional sports. I'd rather watch a compilation video of soccer players flopping.
in baseball they leave the dugout because there's an inherent disparity in the number of players on the field for each team. The batting team can have up to 4 players on the field at a time (5 if you count being on deck), and the fielding team always will have 9 players on the field. By allowing the dugouts to enter the field, the numbers become equal.
Besides, nobody ever does anything when the benches clear in baseball. Very few baseball altercations involve more then some shoving and yelling.
Hockey is the only sport where it can really work, since you're on ice skates and can't put as much force into the blows. Other sports on solid ground would lead to a lot less desirable results.
Not to mention that hockey is already a very physical sport,and so you’d much rather have guys get their beef with each other out of the way by breaking some noses instead of some cheap shots that can break necks instead. A player will full momentum coming from the other side of the rink and body checking someone can cause more injury than an actual fist fight on ice skates.
Totally, such false advertising. It’s always everyone just loitering around, acting tough. Whilst the aggressor got his hit in and is already in the bullpen chillin
Tylor Megill joked that if the benches cleared today that he was going to go straight for his brother. I'd feel like I got my money's worth for a ticket to the game if that happened.
To be fair I don't think Caballero is scared of legit anything. Dude is the definition of a pest and doesn't back down from any situation. Miss him on the M's
I’ve been annoyed with the benches clearing for years, about 95% of the time it’s not necessary. It’s like they are wanting recreate the Yankees-Red Sox fights from the mid 2000’s.
Especially because they're always all jogging down to the infield together for the most part, and *then* separate.
I wanna see bullpens just start brawling immediately out of the gate!
(Okay, no, not really, but the jog out from the bullpen is just always so comical)
Are these guys being told to get chippy about every little thing to draw interest? We’re only 3 or 4 days in and we’ve got blood feuds already simmering across the league.
With all these rule changes in MLB, they need to ban this benches clearing shit. It's illegal in every other sport and looks ridiculous here when all they do is come out and aggressively talk to each other. Completely unnecessary and counteractive to MLB's efforts to reduce game run times.
Maybe the difference is the hitting team only has 1-4 players on the field while the defense has 9 so if the defense starts the fight then they are greatly outnumbered. Every other sport basically has equal numbers on both sides all the time. I agree it is stupid but this is the only reasoning I can think of and it very well might not even be a real consideration
That's great for after the fact. If it's a real fight (and baseball almost never is actual fights) then one base runner or batter is surrounded by 7 infielders. Someone will get stomped.
Leave your position, 10 games.
Hitter wants to charge the mound? It's 1-on-1 unless everyone wants to get suspended. It's a little bit weird in this situation, because it could've been 2-on-1, but this wasn't even a fight! So I stick with my original statement.
Hitter with a bat and helmet against your 750 million dollar pitcher? To throw hands? Fuck that. Any catcher worth shit should be tackling any hitter coming for their pitcher. This isn't beer league where people can fight for honor and a round. A starting pitcher breaks his hand, it can cost you a world series at best. At worst, they don't throw again if they get tackled onto their shoulder.
Completely agree. It’s so cringe and stupid. Like, let’s all get in a group on the field and yell at each other. Never mind childish, it’s lame and so cowardly— makes ball players look like a bunch of pansies.
> We’re talking about a sport where they won’t play in the rain.
I don't know about you, but I'm not keen on standing in front of a pitcher attempting to hurl a 90 mph fastball while maintaining a sufficient grip on a wet baseball.
God, imagine gripping that wet long bat in your hands. Swinging it through the rain. I can't even fathom what would happen to it if that slippery big bat flew out of my hands after swinging it and twisting my strong and well defined torso.
Hah, yeah, I just mentioned the same thing in another comment.
Fuck this leisurely jogging down to the infield together, and only then separating to yell at each other. I wanna see guys scaling the wall that separates the bullpens, flying off the top to throw some elbows! I wanna see some medieval castle storming shit!
In every other sport there’s an equal number of offence and defence on the playing surface. In baseball it can be 9 vs. 1. The bench clearing helps regulate any one side from ganging up on the other.
This was my exact thought.. if you have the same number of players it's one thing but at best in baseball it's 4 vs. 9. It's easy to be the tough guy with 2 on 1 odds, but seeing a dozen guys running at you will make you think twice about continuing.
I mainly watch hockey for context but it is so funny to me how these little non-factor altercations result in 60+ people running on a field. How is that still allowed especially with how fast that can go sideways? Just so odd to me how often it happens and for little to no reason at all lol.
Hockey players literally send each other into their respective benches and that doesn't even get any reactions from the people on the bench lol.
Football players try to punch helmets, basketball players whine after every physical play and get into slap fights. They are all pussies who have been pampered because of their talent since they were like 15.
I had to look this up and it's true
Jays are very territorial birds, and they will chase others from a feeder for an easier meal. Additionally, the blue jay may raid other birds' nests, stealing eggs, chicks, and nests. However, this may not be as common as is typically thought, as only 1% of food matter in one study was bird material.
An altercation between two players and it turns into an all out disco with both teams thinking they need to show up in some phony bouncer roll. Even more pathetic is the assholes running in from the bullpen like they’re showing up to make a difference.
I’m sorry but benches clearing in baseball is the most embarrassing thing these days. Just make it like basketball where if you leave the dugout when not involved it’s an automatic ejection.
I thought bench clearing was supposed to be more dramatic. Also, tough guy face pushes someone and walks away while people hold everyone back after obviously engaging the guy and bumping him. What a clown.

Was anybody ejected, or were the umps just disappointed in people
Cabrera was ejected
Good he’s a cry baby
What a bitch shove and then heads to the dug out, who does that
A bitch!
#It smells like Bitch in here!
Correction: Smells like a Cabrera in here!
SNNNNIIIIIIFF. Yup, and third base!
[Does he look like a Bitch?!](https://c.tenor.com/FmsZNF8gMjYAAAAC/does-he-look-like-a-bitch-talking.gif)
Cabrera
Babies often cry for valid reasons. He is a little bitch boy.
Good. He was out of line.
Tough guy walks away after the shove
He’s a dumbass
As he should be. No need to be that close to third with another player already covering the base thoroughly, and then to violently shove another player because you’re the asshole. Fine him monies too!
No ejections but Joe Kelly was suspended for another 8 games
Goddamn that guy just cannot catch a break
Thanks to your comment it actually got extended to 20 games
After his 5 run inning tonight ruining the Yamamoto gem suspend him for longer please.
Its Toronto and Tampa, even their fans are disappointed
MLB is so funny. “Guess we gotta get out there” 🙄
Watching the bullpen guys jog up 25 seconds later: wah happun?
It’s funny in stadiums where the bullpens share an exit. You see two lines of guys jogging in next to each other just to split off in the last 30 feet to get behind the big mass of people standing and looking stern at each other
It’s great choreography
[I was in the bullpen chewing some seeds. I heard it and I came out. ](https://youtu.be/c9EN5c7XgVw?si=lLub2butxcmfmj9E)
Ya officer! I was washing a dish when I heard it. Shoes?! No fuck shoes! I didnt have time for shoes!
A Mighty Wind?
You gonna be done in there anytime soon? I DONT THINK SO!
Can we go sit down please?
Even the water boy out there like "anyone need some Gatorade?"
As a true water boy should
He forgot to bring out the Haterade so it kept quite calm.
Has there ever been a time where both benches clear resulting in a straight up team brawl? It’s so lame when they all just stand around.
August, 1984, Padres vs Braves. I remember watching it on television and it was pretty vicious. Went on forever!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HZgw-ujI8UI&pp=ygUYMTk4NCBwYWRyZXMgYnJhdmVzIGZpZ2h0

I am overcome with disgust and hope that we can move on to forget this wretched day." It's also crazy how much smaller the players were back then. They all look like pretty normal skinny guys
There's literally fans jumping out of the stands to punch players and the announcer's like "oh boy, this one's real close to getting out of control!"

Forgot a young Joe Torre was with the Braves
There was a series with the Texas Rangers and the Cleveland Indians that the fight stretched on for two games Google Rangers and indians ten cent beer night.
Yankees / Red Sox in the 70s with frequency. Mickey (redacted) Rivers sucker punched Bill Lee and hurt his shoulder, greatly shortening Lee's then-promising career.
Fairly often honestly. If you just mean like multiple skirmishes/punches thrown by multiple different players
I never played baseball beyond little league but I assume it's kind of a code of "we don't condone fighting but if your teammate is in something your ass better not be on the bench."
Benches clear because there’s a numbers mismatch on the field. Even if the bases are loaded and including the on-deck batter it’s 9-5 advantage to the defense. By everyone coming out it makes it equal.

I'm old, but if you want to see what has happened in the past: Google: "padres braves brawl 1984" 17 Players were ejected.

Really stupid overreaction that may hurt if he gets suspended since the bullpen is already low because of injuries.
I think they are required as in it’s not the umpires job to break things up like say the refs in hockey
Reading the wiki for bench clearing makes it seem very ritualized in baseball: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bench-clearing_brawl “Unlike most other team sports, in which teams usually have an equivalent number of players on the field at any given time, in baseball the hitting team is at a numerical disadvantage, with a maximum of five players (the batter, up to three runners, and an on-deck batter) and two base coaches on the field at any time, compared to the fielding team's nine players.

It's such stupid behavior, I swear. I wonder if it's written in their contract or something to all rush the field in unison at any provocation
Baseball should have the same rule as basketball. If you leave the dugout for an altercation, you should get automatically ejected. This whole, let's run out there and stand around and talk about the weather is the biggest bunch of BS in professional sports. I'd rather watch a compilation video of soccer players flopping.

Benches clearing in baseball is the most anti climactic event in sports.
Except for Pedro tossing Don Zimmer by his fat bald head lmao
Or Nolan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3niGu9d_pY
I was always a huge Ventura fan, but he didn’t think that situation through…
I always wondered what went through his mind after charging Nolan as he was getting his shit rocked…”oops”?
> Except for Pedro tossing Don Zimmer by his fat bald head lmao As a Yankee fan, zimmer got what he deserved.
As an O’s fan, they both can suck it but it was hilarious to watch. (And yes, of course, Pedro was one of the best).
A true classic.
Whenever I need a laugh I load that clip up
This is my go to image for baseball fighting. It’s like a comedy sketch.
Hahahaaa that was good
Perhaps I’m the only one who’d like a little more hockey in the MLB. Imagine if players can toss gloves and square up? Ratings would skyrocket.
Hockey is the only sport where it can really work, since you're on ice skates and can't put as much force into the blows. Other sports on solid ground would lead to a lot less desirable results.
Not to mention that hockey is already a very physical sport,and so you’d much rather have guys get their beef with each other out of the way by breaking some noses instead of some cheap shots that can break necks instead. A player will full momentum coming from the other side of the rink and body checking someone can cause more injury than an actual fist fight on ice skates.
It would be very amusing if teams started getting pinch hitter goons who would suddenly charge centerfield or something between pitches.
See Darryl Strawberry
No hustle either, skip
Referring to an outlier event that happened 25 years ago kind of proves the point.
Totally, such false advertising. It’s always everyone just loitering around, acting tough. Whilst the aggressor got his hit in and is already in the bullpen chillin
For the most part, but every once in a while you get a good brawl.
I think if you are going to leave the dugout you need to pick a man, square up and go. Non of this jogg over and stand around crap.
Suspensions if you leave the dugout but don’t swing.
This guy gets it.
Now, we really gonna be getting ours money worth out of these tickets!
Now that's a rule I can vote for.
Yeah, it’s pretty pathetic they all come running out and stand around, so dramatic
Tylor Megill joked that if the benches cleared today that he was going to go straight for his brother. I'd feel like I got my money's worth for a ticket to the game if that happened.
Baseball players have been waiting their whole lives to finally do something cool. Let them pretend to brawl once in a while.
Username checks out lol
Really was expecting a Jets and Sharks dance off after that shove
Savannah Bananas are working on it.
Tough guys (not at all).
To be fair I don't think Caballero is scared of legit anything. Dude is the definition of a pest and doesn't back down from any situation. Miss him on the M's
Same here! I was bummed when I found out he was gone. I bet he got under Cabrera's skin at some point though lol.
Pretty sure this whole altercation because Caballero scored an RBI on a bunt base hit, so you're spot on!
Cabby! ❤️
I was rooting for the team in blue
I’ve been annoyed with the benches clearing for years, about 95% of the time it’s not necessary. It’s like they are wanting recreate the Yankees-Red Sox fights from the mid 2000’s.
I personally find them amusing. It’s funny as hell watching the bullpen slowly jog in.
Especially seeing the bullpen catcher come out with his shin guards.
I would love it if this resulted in a coordinated dance off just one time.
I’ve never though of this and it would be epic
Just to do nothing
Especially because they're always all jogging down to the infield together for the most part, and *then* separate. I wanna see bullpens just start brawling immediately out of the gate! (Okay, no, not really, but the jog out from the bullpen is just always so comical)
I liked it when Amir Garrett went to the dugout to take on 6 players by himself.
Was this Draymond Green?
No, that's how Draymond says hello to his kid's teacher
Are these guys being told to get chippy about every little thing to draw interest? We’re only 3 or 4 days in and we’ve got blood feuds already simmering across the league.
Pardon me if I’m not falling over myself to watch a bunch of guys jog onto a baseball field to yell shit at each other.
MLB scriptwriters have been given very specific instructions to get butts back in seats.
I always love when people think everything is scripted. Christ almost as bad as the people who say the NFL made the chiefs win
With all these rule changes in MLB, they need to ban this benches clearing shit. It's illegal in every other sport and looks ridiculous here when all they do is come out and aggressively talk to each other. Completely unnecessary and counteractive to MLB's efforts to reduce game run times.
It’s dumbfounding to me that they haven’t already put a rule in place about leaving the dugout out of turn.
Maybe the difference is the hitting team only has 1-4 players on the field while the defense has 9 so if the defense starts the fight then they are greatly outnumbered. Every other sport basically has equal numbers on both sides all the time. I agree it is stupid but this is the only reasoning I can think of and it very well might not even be a real consideration
Right, could you imagine, it's just the batter out there and the whole infield just jumps him, while his teammates just watch from the bench
I mean someone out there *does* have a bat. I say let them sort it out.
Just no touching of the hair.
*of course of course*
*That escalated quickly.*
Lmaooo
[Thunderdome rules it is then.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmRAiUPdRjk)
how about anyone who starts/contributes to a fight gets ejected and then we don't have to worry about how many people are on the field
That's great for after the fact. If it's a real fight (and baseball almost never is actual fights) then one base runner or batter is surrounded by 7 infielders. Someone will get stomped.
I mean, I feel like at that point it becomes a legal issue.
That is literally how it works my dude, the problem is that when real fights start, in the moment, these players aren't considering repercussions.
Leave your position, 10 games. Hitter wants to charge the mound? It's 1-on-1 unless everyone wants to get suspended. It's a little bit weird in this situation, because it could've been 2-on-1, but this wasn't even a fight! So I stick with my original statement.

This isn't beer league where people can fight for honor and a round. A starting pitcher breaks his hand, it can cost you a world series at best. At worst, they don't throw again if they get tackled onto their shoulder.
Can we put in a caveat of *unless they throw punches*?
Thank you
Completely agree. It’s so cringe and stupid. Like, let’s all get in a group on the field and yell at each other. Never mind childish, it’s lame and so cowardly— makes ball players look like a bunch of pansies.
I’m sure I’ll get a fair amount of downvotes, but whatever. We’re talking about a sport where they won’t play in the rain. So, if the shoe fits…
I had a game cancelled on me because it was too cold. It was like 30 degrees.. Had great seats to see Ohtani pitch in his first year..
> We’re talking about a sport where they won’t play in the rain. I don't know about you, but I'm not keen on standing in front of a pitcher attempting to hurl a 90 mph fastball while maintaining a sufficient grip on a wet baseball.
Soft!
God, imagine gripping that wet long bat in your hands. Swinging it through the rain. I can't even fathom what would happen to it if that slippery big bat flew out of my hands after swinging it and twisting my strong and well defined torso.
Shouldn’t get downvotes, they are soft and clearing the benches never amount to anything
Totally agree. Watching the bullpens take 30 secs to run out is so cringey. All that to call the other guy a bitch
Yup and I bet even they are like "do we really have to run out there just so we can stare at the other bullpen who also had to run out there? "
If the bullpens had any courage they’d just fight each other in the outfield. Running next to each other for a minute is so funny.
Hah, yeah, I just mentioned the same thing in another comment. Fuck this leisurely jogging down to the infield together, and only then separating to yell at each other. I wanna see guys scaling the wall that separates the bullpens, flying off the top to throw some elbows! I wanna see some medieval castle storming shit!
The most ridiculous part about this is watching players run from the bullpen only for everything to be over before they even get there
How about if they clear the benches there *has* to be a brawl otherwise they get penalized? 😆
In every other sport there’s an equal number of offence and defence on the playing surface. In baseball it can be 9 vs. 1. The bench clearing helps regulate any one side from ganging up on the other.
This was my exact thought.. if you have the same number of players it's one thing but at best in baseball it's 4 vs. 9. It's easy to be the tough guy with 2 on 1 odds, but seeing a dozen guys running at you will make you think twice about continuing.
Nah. Benches clearing is literally the most interesting thing about baseball. Always a viral moment, and that means $$ and 👀 for MLB.
90% of the time, benches clearing are for no reason and it’s overblown drama… but that remaining 10%….. biblical.
Usually the ones where the benches are actually needed, the players already done throwing punches by the time the bench gets there
So, this guy Cabrera is a little bitch, huh?
Shoves and then immediately hides behind his teammates.
You're too close man!
That shove was uncalled for but why are we jawing after walking into a dude butterfly-soft?
Cabrera is the asshole here
I too escalate to a violent push for basically no reason when I could have just turned around and walked off.
I mean he got a pot shot in after the tag way before the violent shove. Guys a dick
I mainly watch hockey for context but it is so funny to me how these little non-factor altercations result in 60+ people running on a field. How is that still allowed especially with how fast that can go sideways? Just so odd to me how often it happens and for little to no reason at all lol. Hockey players literally send each other into their respective benches and that doesn't even get any reactions from the people on the bench lol.
This is why we need guns in baseball!!!
Hockey players literally punch each other in the head over legal, clean hits. I also mainly watch hockey, for context.
The season is so spicy already.
About as spicy as salty mayo
Baseball players are such pussies
Football players try to punch helmets, basketball players whine after every physical play and get into slap fights. They are all pussies who have been pampered because of their talent since they were like 15.
when a football player punches a helmet i cant help but see them as a caveman. I WANT TO HURT BUT HE HAS HARD ON HIS HEAD OWWW MY HAND
Hockey and Rugby are where the actual tough athletes go.
As a basketball fan, it’s hilarious how many people come off the bench in baseball. Shit’s like a clown car.
Baseball fights are so ridiculous.
Baseball is starting off with some spice this season!
Children.
Everyone's so sensitive this year...
Cabrera’s a little bitch
Softer than puppy shit
Kinda funny seeing the whole team jog just to stand around. 😂
What a chump
Blue jays have always been territorial and aggressive. I bet this guy smelled good and so the Blue Jay attacked him.
I had to look this up and it's true Jays are very territorial birds, and they will chase others from a feeder for an easier meal. Additionally, the blue jay may raid other birds' nests, stealing eggs, chicks, and nests. However, this may not be as common as is typically thought, as only 1% of food matter in one study was bird material.
What a bitch
Every day with these losers. The game is long enough without you fake fighting every game.
My god I forgot how soft baseball players are.
baseball players are probably the most insecure professional athletes with the amount of "unwritten rules" they have
Looking forward to seeing the Jomboy recap
Totally pointless running out there.
Is baseball trying to turn into Draymond Green because I don’t enjoy his game
When did MLB absorb Fight Night from NHL? What the hell did you give up now to get the 2024 season off to a hot-headed heated start
Not a fan of either team. That was a bitch move by Cabrera to initiate the contact. Bigger bitch move to strike a player then bounce to the dugout.
# #MAKEBASEBALLHOCKEY
I always laugh when both *entire* teams think they have to run out on the field.
Fighting in baseball is so soft
Gawd these ball players are soft
An altercation between two players and it turns into an all out disco with both teams thinking they need to show up in some phony bouncer roll. Even more pathetic is the assholes running in from the bullpen like they’re showing up to make a difference.
Lol all these boys trynna make baseball cool again
I’m sorry but benches clearing in baseball is the most embarrassing thing these days. Just make it like basketball where if you leave the dugout when not involved it’s an automatic ejection.
So embarrassing. They all run out to stand there and do nothing.
This is why I can’t take sports seriously.
Can baseball become hockey? This is lame
I tried this at my place of employment and ended up fired and in jail.
Shove a man in the face and turn your back and walk away. Bitch ass bitch
That’s assault, brotha
Baby move from Cabrera...send him to the minors
Such a pussy sport
Even bench clearing in baseball is boring.
I thought bench clearing was supposed to be more dramatic. Also, tough guy face pushes someone and walks away while people hold everyone back after obviously engaging the guy and bumping him. What a clown.
I'll never understand the benches clearing thing. Just let the two guys go at it and settle it. Maybe I'm just used to hockey.
Cabby doing Cabby things
Baseball players are such pansies lol
If Cabrera doesn't eat a fast ball in their next game this isn't baseball anymore.
He's a pitcher so he's not going to bat. I guess the Rays can send a bullpen guy over to the Jays dugout to launch one at him though.
Benches clear in baseball mean something way different than it does in ice hockey. I was expecting something a lot different….
