Nats/Fins Brawl

Here are some video Clips of fight between Nyjer Morgan and the Florida Marlins that I put together from the local MASN broadcast. Nyjer is out of control with his WWE antics and season long bad base running but no way he deserves to be thrown at twice in one game because he stole 2 bases when his team was down 11 in the 4th inning. That is just as bush league as anything Morgan did to the Marlins.

Scary Minor League Brawl

A huge Minor League baseball fight broke out in Dayton, Ohio last night between the Dayton Dragons and Peoria Chiefs



I located this video from a fan's vantage point in the stands. There appears to be some serious meat heads attending this minor league baseball game.



"It was a big brawl," said Ben Means, 25, a fan from New Carlisle. "I like that kind of enthusiasm. It was sweet. We're excited. It's cool." No wonder MMA is extremely popular these days.

During the game a Chiefs 2B broke his leg and a Dragons SS suffered a head injury. The brawl put a fan in the hospital. Sweet enthusiasm huh?

Chiefs starting pitcher Julio Castillo was arrested for striking the fan with a baseball and he is still in the pokey.

Another weird angle is how the game continued even though 15 players were initially booted from the contest.

Castillo, both managers as well as 15 players were thrown out of the game. But almost an hour after the brawl, which lasted about 10 minutes, all of the ejections were reversed by the Midwest League.

The reversal came after the Reds and Cubs — parent teams of the Dayton Dragons and Peoria Chiefs — indicated they didn't want pitchers playing in the outfield, which is what each team would have needed in two spots.
