Tim Anderson’s epic bat flip clearly didn’t sit nicely with the Kansas City Royals. Anderson belted a two-run dwelling run within the fourth inning Wednesday to present the Chicago White Sox a 2-Zero lead. The hot-hitting shortstop punctuated the blast — his fourth of the 2019 season — by throwing his lumber to the facet and shouting within the course of his personal dugout. Savage. It was truthful to imagine the Royals would actual revenge in some unspecified time in the future, particularly with catcher Martin Maldonado having a front-row seat for Anderson’s theatrics. And Brad Keller wasted little time in doing the honors, plunking Anderson with the primary pitch of

The rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees ramped up a notch Wednesday night, when the benches cleared twice, including a brawl featuring Red Sox reliever Joe Kelly and Yankees designated hitter Tyler Austin.

Hazelbaker charged the mound Monday night during a Triple-A game between the Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals affiliate) and New Orleans Zephyrs (Miami Marlins affiliate) after Jose Urena fired a pitch at his head. Urena responded by throwing a punch at the Redbirds outfielder, kicking...
Did Jose Bautista’s Shaky History With Rangers Lead To Bench-Clearing Brawl?
Do you remember Jose Bautista’s epic bat flip in Game 5 of the Toronto Blue Jays’ American League Division Series last season? Well, the Texas Rangers certainly do, and it likely played a factor in his brawl with Rougned Odor and the ensuing mayhem Sunday. Game 5 of the Rangers-Blue Jays 2015 ALDS matchup had plenty of controversy, but the top moment came in the bottom of the seventh inning when Bautista flipped his bat following a three-run home run. Not everyone was a fan of the bat flip, including Rangers reliever Sam Dyson, so there always was the chance of future fireworks between the two squads. Now fast forward to Sunday, which almost
