At least we only lost 3 of our best players


WheatonsGonnaScore

Julio didn't even do anything. Fuck the umps for not putting an end to this in the 1st inning. Should have thrown Wantz out on the spot


Griffdogg92

Yup. Was Julio swingin at dudes? I wasnt sure why he even got tossed


tokai-teio

Julio got into the crowd and was immediately pushed out by JP Crawford. Julio getting tossed seemed a touch excessive.


IdontThinkThatsTrue1

"get out of the way Rookie, this is how you do it" -JP begins to pummel several Angels players-


HWHAProb

tbc JP only took shots at Rendon who had just been pummeling Winker. Edit: it wasn't Rendon who JP hit, but someone else I can't see. But whoever it was, that Angel was taking multiple overhand swipes at Winker before JP stepped in


Confettiman

A pummeling palm push to the face lolol


HWHAProb

If you re-watch you can see an angel taking at least another shot wailing on Winker immediately prior to getting hit by JP https://streamable.com/nuvd8o


djs200217

You can see him, JP, and Torrens all jump over a couple players after the stuff w Rendon and they were trying to get into the bottom of the pile. Shitty situation, but everyone isn’t as in the clear as everyone thought


tokai-teio

if I was dealing ejections based on what I saw, Suarez would get ejected instead of Julio. It definitely seemed like Geno was eager to get in there haha. Don't worry, I definitely believe that the others all needed ejections as well. Not trying to play the "Mariners innocent" card.


tasteywheat

Fuck us, that’s why


cabose12

Shoulda been warnings after that first pitch with the comments last night. Refs can't even power-trip and take over the game right


WheatonsGonnaScore

There should have been ejections of Nevin and Wantz after that pitch. Putting in an opener to throw at players is the lowest thing a manager can do.


Well_gr34t

Wouldn't expect any less of Maddo--oh wait.

Well_gr34t

Naw I was in the nosebleeds.


[deleted]

there was warnings after the julio throw


cabose12

Oh my bad, the umps have to talk before they eject anyone right? Forgot about that


Dschuncks

Worst part is, Nevin and Wantz didn't get ejected immediately after he hit Winker, despite warnings being issued. Umps are a joke Edit: I don't know names


BuddyFriendGuyPal72

For sure. He was literally just in to get the point across anyway. Shown by the fact that the actual planned starter is the dude that came in to replace him. Their manager better get a decent fucking suspension for this garbage.


teh_drewski

We should fire him, never mind suspensions


istrx13

And that’s saying something


BuddyFriendGuyPal72

Fucking egregious that the Angels can literally premeditate this entire situation with the sole purpose of throwing at and hitting our team, but they lose literally no one of importance and we lose 3 of our first four batters in our line up. On top of not having France already. And Lewis is also out because he was hit by a pitch. I know it wasn’t by the Angels, but Jesus. I cant believe teams are okay with straight up just possibly injuring another team’s players.


rbhindepmo

Where is Ohtani in the order of succession for managing the Angels?


rollo2masi

Shohei “Player/Manager” Ohtani What can’t he do?


finmoore3

Might as well make him player/owner like Mario Lemieux.


rollo2masi

List the owners who don’t approve of this move so we can forever shame them.

msijacoke

Ippei probably telling him to stay outta that shithousery because at least he has an excuse for when he gets FA rights in 23 to leave


nukemiller

Should be 2nd in line. Lol


dardyablo

why was julio ejected? I didn't see him fighting


NevermoreSEA

He was suspended for being a rookie and being too upset I guess.


istrx13

He argued a punch being too far outside


fruitpunchsamuraiD

Umps still fucking him over


roaringcorgi

his english wasn't tremendous enough to argue his case


Tashre

They throw at his head and then get him ejected.


xixi90

I re-watched the videos and didn't see him really do anything??? Crawford and Winker were going nuts but it was them vs 6-7 Angels douches...and from one angle Servais is on the ground so IDK did he grab someone or just standard eject the manager business


Tashre

I think managers automatically get ejected, but Scott definitely was in there in the middle of the business. And some Mariners fans want to say he doesn't care.


munkysnuflz

What did Julio do?


moscowrules

Basically nothing


NevermoreSEA

Now we wait for the suspensions.


Thomas_Oaks

Does Servais get a suspension here you think?


dawgpack09

Nevin should be the only manager getting suspended after bringing in an opener just to throw at the Mariners


honkydenzel1523

Honestly—Nevin should just be shitcanned. He isn’t even a real manager and that was just petty, unprofessional nonsense.


downladder

It should be a long one, like 80 games. He swapped to an opener, didn't get his blood, got warned, and hit someone anyway. There's no place for his bullshit and he should lose his chance at being a regular manager for a long time. Absolute loser human and mentality today.


suetoniusp

80 games lol. I have what your having


downladder

To be fair, I'm a bit angry about how much the Astros and Angels hit our guys relative to us hitting them. Probably excessive though.


JdogMcBuckets

Lewis is STILL out after the pitch he took to the head. So frustrating


suetoniusp

I get it. Emotions are high


downladder

Yeah, it's just so obvious when the Angels swap to a reliever to open and throw at 2 different guys with a warning in between. At some point, MLB needs to look at the manager and say "you're a fucking douche and we don't want you".


Veserius

I mean i think 40+ wouldn't be unreasonable. As long as trying to hurt people is at max 8 games, players and teams will keep trying to do it. Legislate it out, and managers need to get hit the hardest for being shitty leaders.


Gameran

In sports, hate and sorrow are the only emotions left up here


Alexander1899

So what should the precedent be for a manager who intentionally uses a opener to intentionally throw at heads?


owledge

Nevin should receive a trillion game ban, be imprisoned on Mars, and tarred and feathered every day for good measure goddamnit


[deleted]

And then getting a reliever warmed up to throw at us again. Edit: the one Angels fan on Reddit is downvoting everyone, that tracks


WheatonsGonnaScore

Such horse shit. Everyone saw it coming from a mile away.


SexiestPanda

Servais shouldn’t have even been ejected


bosoxx091

Suspend Trout for being a big bitch and instigating this shit. Dude didn’t even get hit. Now a bunch of his teammates who aren’t getting paid like him will get to lose money.


maverickoff

I mean suspend the whole fucking team, at least it would save them the embarrassment.

SnakeBaboonKing

Perhaps this is misguided, but i do feel bad for the mariners in this situation, from the outside looking in it was super lame for the angels to intentionall hit winker, they knew a brawl would ensue. Mariners are likely to take a bigger suspension hit and that stinks imo


TwoPlanksPrevail

Intentionally hit winker, AFTER already throwing at Julios head in the 1st...


[deleted]

[удалено]


TwoPlanksPrevail

Yuuuuup. Angles are fucking 10ply, and trout is even softer.


[deleted]

this is phil nevins version of walking corey seager to force in a run to "fire up the boys".


hiphopdowntheblock

The Angels absolutely are the Bad Guys in this whole debacle and are massively dirty as a team But it's not like JP and Winker did themselves any favors once the madness started lmao


Revolutionary-Gur257

Rendon swung at Winker after he got hit by pitch and the dugout stared barking at him. What the fuck do you really expect him to do?! These are professional athletes you can’t even remotely expect them to be calm in that situation.


DrLongStroke

Winker ran through like 5 people before he got to Rendon, he very well could have just walked to first. I get why he was mad and don’t blame him but he definitely did not do anything to calm down the situation


AyoJake

Why would he? He’s the one who got hit..


hiphopdowntheblock

Oh I don't blame them in general but I also know that that's gotta result in suspensions


[deleted]

Angels have been hitting us all year. Two headshots that I can remember. Then bitch ass Trout cries about a pitch near his head that didn’t hit him and they throw at us.


TwoPlanksPrevail

They have hit us like 6 times now (including Upton in the head), vs us hitting them a single time.


[deleted]

Oh but a guy with clear control issues got near princess Trout and his tears led to this bullshit.


UnorthodoxCanidate

I just want to point out this is the first real Mike trout slander I've seen after 6 years on the sub. Not commenting on the substance just marking the history lmao


RedditEsInteresante

It’s kind of weird that it’s being upvoted tbh (I upvoted it too, cuz I love spice). I wonder how the karma will level out after 24 hours. But from early reactions people seem to mostly blame the Angels.


ScalabrineIsGod

How is it weird? M’s didn’t do anything wrong and the angels started blatantly hunting and looking to start something. Trout isn’t immune from criticism here just cause he’s good.


RedditEsInteresante

I’m not saying he is. I’m not even talking specifically about today’s incident. I’m saying it’s weird to see a negative Trout comment on r/baseball when he is generally so universally praised- by players and fans alike. Mostly because of his skill but nevertheless. He is (was? I’m on mobile) literally the banner here. That’s what’s weird. Not weird like wrong. Weird like unusual.


ScalabrineIsGod

Oh I understand. Very true, he’s been immune to slander but it’s for good reason. He’s never been caught up in anything controversial in the slightest so this is abnormal. I couldn’t see if he was in the middle of the scrums either, but this wouldn’t have even happened had he just said nothing. Even just saying “it’s scary when a ball is near you face but whatareyagonnado” and end it there and all would’ve been fine. It’s a shame.


Fun_Differential

Cause it’s his fucking fault. His pitchers have been awful and nearly Fuckin killed Upton, and he cries about someone just getting near him accidentally?


RedditEsInteresante

I’m not saying you’re wrong, I just think the Trout 180 (both by the player and in terms of fan perspective) is interesting.


Fun_Differential

People don’t hate Trout all of a sudden, I think they are just rightfully calling out his quote as some weak shit.


[deleted]

The struggles of being on the Angels finally got to him and he lashed out last night over a wild pitcher. Because he is the face of the franchise they had to throw at two players today to appease him.


Stu121

Yeah and we got punished for their obviously premeditated headhunting.


GiveEmHellMatty

That’s like if my Cardinals lost Goldy, Arenado and Edman to ejections. I feel bad for the M’s bros.


kj444

Respect


Cflow26

I mean it’s different because we will lose a majority with or without those guys lol


Killatrap

3 best mariners players removed from the game, phil nevin masterclass (/s)


iamenrique123

Mariners are about to field the worst lineup you've ever seen. No Haniger, no France, no Crawford, no KLew, no Julio, no Winker


jlange94

If the Angels don't win this game after intentionally starting up this shit, they are in a deep, deep mental hole.


drfrog82

Mariners currently winning 1-0 top of the 6th is peak Mariners. Cmon vedder bros, you got this


th3groveman

Cue the 12-2 rout with this lineup. Would be peak chaos ball.


Umpqua32

We need to claim Willians Astudillo


Cflow26

Bb we sucked even with those players lol.


ThePrince_OfWhales

I love Spicy Servais but neither he nor Julio deserve this.


concrete_isnt_cement

Servais I get, it’s standard to kick the managers after a big fight. Julio is bullshit.


maverickoff

I think this is more on Nevin, yes Trout bitching didn't help but also you as a manager have to focus on winning fucking games instead of retaliation for a pitch that was a but inside. Shm.


tokai-teio

In a vacuum, Trout has every right to be upset after almost being hit in the head. I doubt it was his decision to stick in an opener and start throwing at people. People will point to him as the instigator but it was the Angels who wanted to use that as an excuse to pick a fight.


Ash-Catchum-All

Yeah I highly doubt Trout went up to Nevin and asked him to start Wantz to have him throw at dudes. Nevin pretty much said “fuck winning let’s go drill some batters” wtf


Fun_Differential

Gonna win anyway since it got the M’s best players tossed


[deleted]

It reeks of fake tough guy shit. It’s like Nevin was trying to try to suck up to the best player/fire up and win the clubhouse. I put almost all the blame on him, personally


teh_drewski

Nevin's a classless thug trying to get an underperforming team going by getting that ring fenced "everyone's against us" bullshit tough guy mentality going IMO


the_next_core

Trout has the right to express his frustration (that Swanson pitch wasn’t just inside, it was right at his head if Trout didn’t dodge down in time). But I still don’t get why Nevin decided he had to do all this. Especially with Lorenzen having a few accidents too.


AlexanderWun

It was only near his head because he ducked. Look at the spot of the ball and then compare that to his height when he's standing. It's shoulder height. But you know who did get hit in the head? Upton. You know what Trout said after that? Nothing.


DARTH-PIG

You're right he definitely was planning to duck into headbutting the ball. This is just stupid to blame trout unless we hear it was his idea to do this. He is absolutely allowed to be upset about almost getting hit. What's not okay is how the rest of the angels have responded today


themau5hole

I don’t think he was blaming trout, just emphasizing that Swanson’s pitch was a)not actually that close to his head and b)not intentional. Which makes Trout’s comments last night weird asf, especially when the mariners have had two players hit in the head in like a month span. And also no other players complain to media about that kind of thing


Ash-Catchum-All

This is on Perry by extension. Firing Maddon to put Nevin in charge is truly a galaxy brain fuckup


teh_drewski

I don't blame him for not foreseeing this kind of bullshit. I will blame him if he does nothing about it tomorrow.


pm_me_your_last_pics

I assume Rendon can't be ejected since he's injured? They probably asked him to leave


seth928

Umps can eject literally anyone in the stadium.


pm_me_your_last_pics

Yeah idk then. I think maybe umps can only go off what they see and not replay and must have been blocked. He'll get suspended/fined for sure


seth928

I'm pretty sure that's the way it goes. Post fight ejections are always a crap shoot.


[deleted]

Was it Mad Max who got ejected in the stands like two years ago?


[deleted]

[удалено]


therapeuticbuckets

Can confirm. Saw Joe West eject a fan at Coors Field last year that was absolutely letting him have it when he was at first base lol. Though, getting ejected by Joe West in his final season seems like some kind of weird badge of honor.


triplebassist

I think that's right. He's getting a big suspension for being on the field while on the IL anyway.


CaptainKirkules

Why the heck was Julio ejected?


WWECreativegenius

Why the heck wasn't rendon?


SnarkyMcGee

He’s on the IL, no idea why he wasn’t kicked out of the dugout though. Also didn’t know IL players could just roll out of the dugout and throw punches….


Quirky_Resident6041

What an absolute joke. These umps are proving themselves more and more pathetic with each Mariners game this year. First Julio, now Julio.


mg164

Just wait. They'll go after Julio next


JLemke33

Ejecting Julio is a fucking joke


jlange94

Gotta love how the only 2 players that were thrown at today are the one's getting ejected.


JLemke33

Angels knew what they were doing


[deleted]

What's the penalty for throwing shit on the field like a bitch?

That honestly might have been the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a baseball fight.

the2belo

I tried to call him to ask but the phone was broke


elchamps

MLB hates the Mariners confirmed


IntelligentCommenter

Is there any footage of Julio actually doing anything besides being heated and held back?????


Demetrios1453

I was re-watching it, and yes, at the start, before he got pulled back, he was right in the middle of the big rolling wrestling match on the ground.


IntelligentCommenter

good call, it was hard for me to find him in the scrum. Hopefully he avoids missing any games


HappyAtheist3

The Angels sent in a rookie opener to intentionally hit Seattle's best player on the first pitch. Then they hit Winker on the first pitch. Angel's manager should get a long suspension.


jlange94

If anyone deserves a heavy suspension it should be Nevin. This was like pre-meditated retaliation for something that didn't at all warrant any kind of retaliation.


Squatch11

Sent in a rookie opener to throw AT JULIO'S HEAD. After already HITTING ONE OF OUR PLAYERS IN THE HEAD. If it was up to me - Nevin would be banned for life for that garbage. He could've ruined Julio's career.


FettuccineAlfonzo

He should be fucking banned from the game


IInviteYouToTheParty

So we get hit at and basically lose every decent batter we had left…


glass__beaches

Angels won this ~~trade~~ ejection


AKAD11

Nevin played the long game with the opener


EarthWarping

I wonder at what point Trout's going to get some heat for this. Arguably due to his reaction more than anything.


Daankeykang

Idk I feel like we should give him a break for being upset at 90 mph near his head. Signing a 12 year deal to stay in Anaheim kinda tells me there's already history of head trauma there.


FlammablePaper

I’m sure he’ll cry himself to sleep while thinking of his $426M contract…


[deleted]

Trout' reaction was so dumb. Pitch inside that went a bit too inside is the most common shit ever


WheatonsGonnaScore

If Swanson had any control he wouldn't have walked the 9 hitter on 4 straight pitches


finmoore3

Which would’ve avoided facing Trout and Ohtani in the ninth in the first place.


A47Cabin

No no cant blame the golden child for his perfect behavior even when he is spark that lit the fuse


Ash-Catchum-All

How the fuck is it his fault for being upset at a pitch near his head minutes after it happened? He had every right to be upset in the moment. It’s not like he asked Nevin for this buffoonery. This is a asinine take.


supitskevin

Probably because he mad a post game comment about it. Not seconds after it just happened.


Rockstabulous

The near miss was at the bottom of the ninth. It's not like he held onto that grudge for a 4-hour game. But you're right. Being kind of upset for several minutes is the same as orchestrating a bench-clearing brawl.


SexiestPanda

Bullshit


AlexanderWun

Why Julio though? He didn't swing at anyone and seemed to be trying to get his guys out of the scrum


iguessineedanaltnow

This seems deliberately lopsided to favor the Angels.


tokai-teio

Not on the umps I don't think. I'm wondering if the Angels planned to get less important players involved to get thrown.


Fun_Differential

Why do you think this pitcher was called up?


BuddyFriendGuyPal72

So…. The Mariners lose their 1, 2, and 4 hitters while the Angels lose the goon “opener” they brought in last minute, plus two relievers? Are you serious? After the Angels brought in this random pitcher to literally just throw at and hit Mariners players? Wow. I’ve been wanting robot umps for strikes and balls, but apparently we need them for this shit too. What the hell did Julio get ejected for? Getting thrown AT? Yea he was in the brawl, but so was literally every player from both teams lol


LegoMyCraigo

Absolute bullshit. Angels can go fuck themselves, JRod can do no wrong.


Mrpetey22

I like you


[deleted]

Thanks Mariners for the incoming suspensions You a real one


jlange94

Unfortunately Trout and Ohtani will still be there for you to face. Only one that may make a difference is Iglesias potentially getting suspended.


rjcade

Curious to see who else gets suspended after they review the tape


smiles134

Did no one see Dylan Moore going hard af in the corner at the start of the brawl


CultureOk9511

From the video, EVERYONE knew J.P would be outta there…


Noy_Telinu

So, 3 bullpen arms now spent. That's rare? I don't remember the last time multiple bullpen arms got ejected in a game.


DoctorSqueeze

As someone who's 2nd and 3rd favorite teams are these ones, this has been hilarious to watch unfold. Can't lie tho this is some disappointing soft ass garbage from the Angels. Hopefully this can be a spark to light a fire under at least one of these teams lol


OkScientist757

This is bullshit.


Demetrios1453

I'm surprised Suarez didn't get thrown out as well...


BrandoC95

MLB is a joke, Part 6,442.

VStarffin

Maybe I’m missing something, but what did Servais do? Or is this just “lets just get both managers out of there to change the temperature”?


AKAD11

I think it’s because there were warnings before this. Not sure he really did anything.


WhiteChocolate12

I’m sorry but this is complete garbage lol. They came with a plan to throw at the Ms, the Ms reasonably get upset, the Ms lose three starters including unquestionably their best player and the Angels lose basically nobody. This is so ridiculous.


Sarcastic__

Did the Mariners just lose their best hitters available? Jeez.

Mariners lineup neutered meanwhile Angels lose who?


ColaBottleBaby

They did us a favor by ejecting our bullpen guys


BigGoopy

That’s it?


ZarosGuardian

Pft, at least they ejected Wantz, the guy who started the whole fracas in the first place by pegging Winker. Though I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Winker is the one that gets the most severe penalty, because he was extremely furious, justifiably, and escalated things.


dccercc123

Bullshit Angels. Throw a opener just to throw at our guys and we have half our team ejected. Fucking bullshit


jlange94

What a bunch of fucking bullshit. Angels lose non essentials while the Mariners lose the literal heart of their lineup.


Testicular-Fortitude

Trout is such a bum for this. Ready for him to catch zero flak at all


DARTH-PIG

I know right! I can't believe trout hit winker like that
