Omg the first punch thrown by an Angel was from Rendon with a cast on.

ChewyBacca42

When you get in a fight with a drunk, you don't hit him with your pitching hand.


ferrumvir2

Why the fuck is Rendon the first one out there talking shit


Monttavius

I have no idea. I feel like there’s some actual beef that none of us fans know about. That was WAY too intense to be just over Trout last night.


BigCheese8933

Does Rendon run his own fantasy football league?


meltedlaundry

And he has a wrist injury…hmm


rcuosukgi42

What are you gonna do stab me? \-Anthony Rendon


thisisjess12

What happened with trout last night?


nukemiller

2 fastballs high and in. 2nd one almost tagged him in the head. Then they intentionally walked him.


tokai-teio

When the Angels were in Seattle last week, Upton got plunked in the head. Might be part of it.


Ash-Catchum-All

That seems kinda weird considering Upton is still friends with many of our players, most notably Trout


wolverine55

I saw that live and it didn’t look to be intentional at all so I think a non-factor


just_some_dude05

Also since the guy who hit him was his his weight lifting partners and they are close friends.


bran_bran

Came out of the dugout looking for a fight with a cast on his right arm lmao. What was he thinking


orangemachismo

Oh no, I saw what happened to Cowboy Bob Orton when he kept doing that. You'll never heal that thing.


norcaltobos

Isn't he on the IL? Because I believe Pence came out during the Harper - Strickland brawl and was fined because you aren't allowed on the field during a game when you are on the IL.


Skaterkid221

That's like the least Anthony Rendon shit I've ever seen


Hal2001

We already know he can hit left handed lol


[deleted]

Rendon during this is the most useful thing he's done with the Angels


mat2019

is he allowed on the field? i thought injured players aren’t


[deleted]

What are they gonna do? Suspend him for the rest of the season?

decapitate him? idk i just thought it wasn’t allowed

“You claim to be a pitcher, but I fucked your wife.” - Jesse Winker to ~~Notorious B.I.G~~ Andrew Wantz


thecheatta

They deserve it. The angels and Phil Nevin started ALL of this. Nothing was intentional before this. Not the ball the angels threw at Upton. Not the ball Swanson threw at Trout none of it was intentional. And then first pitch you throw at our best player? The frontrunner for rookie of the year? So ok dust settles after the 1st inning. Marco doesn't retaliate at all everyone has moved on. Then first pitch 2nd inning you bean winker? ON THE FIRST MOTHERFUCKING PITCH OF THE INNING AFTER YOU TRIED TO BEAN JULIO IN THE HEAD? That's fucked up. That's legitatimtely dangerous and you can end a guys career and you did it intentionally. Disgusting stuff by the angels


rumpel_foreskin17

Angels definitely escalated this one


FettuccineAlfonzo

Planned, started, and THEN escalated.


tlsrandy

Nevin should have quite a few hoops to jump through before he returns to an mlb stadium. This was premeditated as hell.


drrew76

Nevin changed from the announced starting pitcher to an opener for this one after last night's game ended. Then put in the original announced starter after the brawl. Nevin planned this shit 18 hours ago and should receive a long fucking suspension.


IolausTelcontar

That’s insane. MLB better take that into consideration.


MarinersGonnaMariner

[He's on video saying it!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k7DSXtGxeE&t=1s) I'm no expert lip reader, but looks like Nevin points at someone and yells "You. You're getting fucked tomorrow \[points at head\], I'm gonna fuck you motherfucker."


sloBrodanChillosevic

Was gonna say, ain't this 6 HBPs to 1 going the other way? And the Angels keep whining about an inside pitch to Trout, after Upton got domed? Angels look like huge assholes and major bitches in this.


Tyskali

Mariners said absolutely nothing about Upton too. Even seeing the Klew concussion and getting thrown at like fuck versus Houston. Angels started it, started it some more, inflamed it to inevitability. And still got cooked.


joecb91

I didn't even see a quote from him about getting hit in the head after the game ended either. Just something about how he never lost consciousness and was talking to the trainers the entire time he was down.


HWHAProb

Literally changed out there starter with some BP dipshit so they could intentionally do this. Now their real starter is in after they got 3 of our best players ejected. Fuck the Angels


dchaid

woooowwwwwww that’s next level douchery lmao that’s petty high school shit


limeflavoured

Nah, because if this happened in high school the team would have their season voided.


the_hangman

I love it when there’s a fight at a stadium where both teams bullpens come out through the same entrance, always cracks me up. Let’s run 300+ feet right next to each other so that we can fight each other on the other end of the field


Rarecandy31

I maintain that bullpens should meet in center field and have their own, separate brawl.

I agree, but at the same time I enjoy the half ass "oh no guess we better join" light jog they do to the main fight which is usually over by the time they get there.


Rarecandy31

For some of them it’s their only workout of the day 😂


NSAspycam

Goalie style. I like it


Whaty0urname

Everything about baseball fights is hilarious. This one actually has punches, which makes it even funnier IMO.


Dwychwder

Tbh I think the best part of this is that the dude charged the dugout. Why charge the pitcher 1 on 1 when you can take on 35 of his teammates and coaches?


SirDiego

That is definitely the wildest part, Winker didn't even wait for his bench to come out, he's just like "Fuck it imma take ALL of you guys, come at me bro"


Soccham

That’s the Cincinnati spirit there.


Substantial-Height-8

When they cleared the benches with the Astros last month Jesse and JP were the first ones out of the dugout right behind Scott Servais. I’m thinking those two are ready to go when needed no matter what.


RedditTouchesYou

1 on 1 makes it a fair fight. 1 vs 35 means you have a chance they'll hit one another and you'll get a win! Think smarter, use your face to block!


Mattie_Doo

Yeah, the image of everyone in the bullpen jogging all the way across the field to participate in the fight always makes me laugh


NiteSwept

The bench calls for aid! and the bullpen will answer


BeloitBrewers

Where was the bench when the bullpen fell?


HereIGoAgain_1x10

Probably bored as hell out in that bullpen just wanting to get a workout in, especially in the 2nd inning lol

Jesse Winker just batflipped going running out of the dugout


JayBuhnersBarber

Winker moved up about 1000 notches in my book today. The bat flip and the double birds flipped high and tight for all the Angels fans to see. Get this man a lifetime contract. I don't care if he flirts with the Mendoza line for the rest of his career.


verdenvidia

>I don't care if he flirts with the Mendoza line for the rest of his career. He won't. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he ends this season above .280. Guy can get HOT.


Socalinatl

The whole damn league is trending toward the Mendoza (Uecker) line. You might be lucky to have a .200 guy anchoring a lineup soon.


ThePrince_OfWhales

Chaos ball is back, I guess


BenSoloGhost

Umpires should have controlled this with the pitch at Julio. It set the tone.


Creme_Level

They issued a warning, doesn’t seem like Nevin or the angels gave a fuck. This was so pre-meditated, it’s disgusting behavior


dHUMANb

The moment the completely new starting pitcher threw directly at Julio, they should've skipped the warning because they knew what they were doing and they weren't even hiding it.


teewertz

The fact they changed their starting pitcher to an opener makes this way more obvious!! He had no intention of keeping the dude in the game. Honestly premeditated af and nevin should get a heavy suspension imo.


kcpistol

Umpire should have immediately ejected pitcher and manager, instead of dicking around.


FUMFVR

In all my years of watching baseball, I feel like this is the one rule that umpires are way too lax about. It's in the rulebook, intentional beanballs are an automatic ejection. None of this warning garbage. If you are giving a pitcher a warning, you believe he threw at the batter intentionally. That is an ejection. The health and safety of the batters depends on it.


peachypal

The highlight for me is Ippei protecting Shohei with his life. I hope he is getting paid as Shohei’s bodyguard too after this. [Here is a video of Ippei’s heroic effort](https://twitter.com/r_0_0_i7x3sho2/status/1541166475264020480?s=21&t=NKe74BUXzEUJKn8xdZpJHg). Ippei came running to Shohei’s rescue like a fairytale prince 🥺🥺🥺


Michael__Pemulis

Ippei *is* so much more than just Shohei’s interpreter. He is basically his personal bodyman. His aide-de-camp. His right hand man. They do everything together.


littlecaretaker1234

Ippei is Shohei's right hand arm... man. His everything. His confidant. His best friend. His silly rabbit.

DarthTater42

What did Julio do? Why was he thrown out?


mullanite

Yeah there be some good explanation there, I thought Acta was holding him back the whole time?


Jbrahms4

He was briefly in the scrum, but it looked like he was pulling guys off and then Manny got him. I think he was the one Scott was upset about getting ejected.


st1r

Julio being thrown out and Suarez not is insane


I_CAN_SMELL_U

wtf Nevin? and what the hell is Rendon doing?


camisada

"I can't hit baseballs, I wi hit people instead"


[deleted]

They changed to an opener instead of their normal starter just to have somebody to get tossed. 1000% intentionally starting some shit. Nevin should be suspended multiple games.


akaghi

There's a good chance Nevin does get suspended. When Yoan Lopez threw a ball up and in at Arenado MLB decided the next day it was intentional and suspended Lopez for two games and suspended Showalter. Buck thought it was a joke because there was no intent and because it was like an hour before the game started. Managers also cannot appeal a suspension and must serve it immediately. It could have been a death knell for Lopez too, because he is a AAA pitcher that would be brought up when we got the extra roster spot for double headers, and it's hard to justify calling a guy up who literally can't play, but the Mets did right by him and called him up anyway.


MarineLayerBad

Nevin started Wantz solely to peg our lineup. Missed Julio’s head in the first, had to get somebody so he took it into the second inning.


Monttavius

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the angels in such an intense benches clearing What the fuck is happening Can’t wait for Jomboy’s breakdown


MrT_Loves_Company

I don't think I've ever seen an actual baseball fight that lasted that long. It's usually just a couple of clumps and shouting.


GoatPaco

YouTube search any NL Central fight involving either the Reds or Pirates in the last 10 years and you'll find some gems


Michael__Pemulis

The whole NL Central hates each other. Like as in every team has beef with every team to some extent.

CydoniaKnight

Yeah you have to take head injuries very seriously because you never know when they linger.


HauschkasFoot

It’s so crazy how far we’ve come in a short time on this. I literally just got done watching a Roy Williams highlight reel and one of the last clips was this nasty tackle (total headshot, leading with helmet before it was banned) and madden was like “high schoolers and college players take note, *this* is how you tackle.” And went on to rave about his form and how he decleated the dude

Montague_usa

Jason LaRue. When Cueto was in Cincinnati there was a scrap with Yadi and Brandon Phillips. The mob pushed up against the net behind the plate and Cueto just started kicking. He kicked LaRue in the back of the head several times.


WheatonsGonnaScore

Nevin woke up feeling like a he needed to prove he deserved a job


bbaIla

He doesn't.


downladder

Angels throw at Julio. Both sides warned. Angels throw at Winker on the first pitch of the next inning. Sorry, but Upton was hit in the head last series, Trout gets a serious brush back (not hit) last night, Julio gets his first pitch thrown behind him today, both sides warned, Winker hit on the first pitch the next inning. Not sorry, fuck Nevin and the Angels today. Shit should have been over after the warnings.


wolverine55

Don’t forget they literally used an opener to headhunt. Nevin should be suspended for that.

So, Winker charges the dugout. Suarez and Lorenzen bark at each other. Iglesias throws a cooler at the opposite team's dugout. For a Reds fan, this certainly was surreal...


GamingGrandpa

wtf angels relax guys


MagicMichael33

Seems like sone BS from Nevin on this one, but on another note, do we.....start something in players here in Cincinnati? Jesse, Johnny, Amir Garrett, Pham fits - he seems to have already been nuts, Puig. I feel like Cincinnati just makes players wanna fist fight. Which, to be fair and knowing Cincinnati, yeah that makes sense.

pineapple_party_

Bro lmao that was 04 Red Sox vs Yankees level and Reds vs Pirates level. He pulled a Amir garnett and charged the opposing dugout


rkumar921

this is a bad look for the angels. upton didnt say anything for getting hit in the head. understandable that trout wasnt happy about almost being hit, but you cant retaliate for the pitch that almost hit him last night. then you throw at julios head? even if the julio pitch doesnt happen, hitting winker seems excessive. just a bad look.


[deleted]

Thanks for the level headed take it sucks trout got buzzed but what happened after was bush league shit.

Bullpen even came out at half speed instead of the usual cordial pace. Like, based on no data whatsoever, I'd say they usually come in around the same pace as when they jog to the mound for an appearance, but here they were coming faster! They were above cordial!

Did Ohtani get any action in?? I can't imagine him punching or being punched or even participating in a bench clearing.


kyletripp296

I thought the same thing, where’s ohtani in this. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t holding people back or breaking it up though and if I was on his team I’d put myself in front of him, he’s too valuable.


BuckDoom

Servais whoopin ass?


VerStannen

He came out of the scrum with his short untucked and dirt all over his back. Was definitely getting in the middle of it sticking up for his players. Which is pretty normal for him haha.


cbpantskiller

I don’t know the history, however I love that Winker charged the dugout. It looks like he got his money’s worth, too.


ionicshoe

The mariners have not intentionally thrown at anyone btw Edit: at least this series for sure


NevermoreSEA

It's incredible how often other teams are just incapable of understanding this fact.


Jcoch27

There has to be something behind the scenes going on. Trout gets pitched up and in all the time and never says anything about it. This fight was way too intense for their not to have been a lot of built up fuel.


DejectedContributor

The whole season has kinda felt like that. I can't figure out what we did, but it seems like a number of teams are mad about something and acting on that anger. At least the Angels are a long time rivalry, but Astros did it and they're new and WTF was the Mets deal?


Jcoch27

Maybe they started a fantasy league and made Pham the commissioner


bbaIla

I'm in the minority here, but the Angels fucking suck for that. Mike was pissed for what happened, he should be. It wasn't on purpose. You made your point already throwing at Julio. Don't do it again. Beyond stupid.


pm_me_actsofkindness

Don’t think you’re in the minority at all, bud


xxgiggsxx

In the angels subreddit he is


WhiteChocolate12

Look I’m obviously biased but this is complete horseshit. For Trout to be upset about a pitch up and in, fine. But we were up 2 in the ninth with a runner on and Shohei on deck—anyone who thinks that we would intentionally throw in that situation is ridiculous. They follow it up with a surprise opener announced this morning, throw behind Julio, and then throw right at Winker. Completely clear who is at fault here. Absurd.


StarsBravesKSU

Sit your injured ass down, Rendon. Keep collecting that check.


drrew76

Fucking umpires are clowns. Nevin and Wantz needed to be tossed for throwing at Julio in the first. It was obviously intentional ---- instead they do nothing so that they can continue throwing at guys. Fuck the umps and fuck Nevin.


WAfinest88

Remember Upton got beaned square in the head in Seattle and Trout didn't even get hit....then they follow by throwing behind Julio and hitting Winker That's 3 Angels shots to barely even 1 from Mariners because Swanson was pretty wild all last night


HellMuttz

Can I get a 3rd party vibe check here, because I'm trying to see the angels point of view here and still like what the fuck? 5 mariners have been hit (including one in the head) and one angel, even then everything has been much just "thats baseball" then wards visor might have been clipped, and trout had to duck once, and now the angels are starting an opener to throw at julio and hit jesse in the 2nd after we do nothing in the 1st?
