This. Even the White Sox own TV announcing crew noted that Eaton was the one that instigated it. Ventura still should have let the out speak for itself rather than saying something. The rest of the fight actually had little to do with what started it all. The MLB Network guys did a great job of breaking it all down. They also did a great job discussing media perception vs. reality of the situation. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/7417714...ent-in-chicago |

Jeff Passan summed up what caused most of the secondary fight. Eaton and Ventura didn't do much other than exchange a few words.

I didn't watch the brawl or look at MLB network's breakdown of the whole affair, so I can't really speak to this incident. But regardless of fault, yet again, it's the Royals. Yet again it's Ventura. This is a problem.

I hope they hand this to Ventura before his next start.

They should give him some Midol as well. I'm pretty sick of the issues. Regardless of whether he started this one or not (he didn't, Eaton did) he still decided to respond.

They must be near the top in most strikeouts as well. Hell, Howard may put them there alone. He has fallen completely off the table.

If that trade goes through, his first game back in Arlington is gonna be real interesting. He burned a lot of bridges when he left.

DeGrom wasn't sharp and the Mets finally lose a game. At least it was to an interleague opponent. |

Not sure how this Royals/White Sox game hasn't been halted. I've never seen puddles/lakes this big on the infield during a major league game.

Looks like the bigger suspensions for the latest brawl just got announced. Ventura gets 7 games, Volquez gets 5 games, Samardzija gets 5 games, and Sale gets 5 games. Basically, everyone misses one start. Cain and Herrera each get two games.

Not really. The starter suspensions are pretty much in line with what you'd expect. Though I am a bit surprised that Ventura gets seven games for being a potty mouth to the instigator (who got no suspension), while the guy who attempted to enter the opponents locker room to start a fight only gets five and the guy who picked a fight with the opponent also gets five. |

Maybe because Ventura was ejected a few days ago and fined.

That blows for baseball fans in general. He is a guy you want to see pitch all year long.

Oh, gee, I dunno? maybe because the guy has been thrown out of just about every start he's been in this year? The guy is amazing to watch. He's an idiot though, and if the Royals don't reign him in, he's going to do something really stupid. For the record, I did see the MLB network piece and think it's a bunch of garbage. He stares down Trout in a 7-0 game because why exactly? Trout hit a shot up the middle? The slide was not horrible by Lawrie and your manager admitted it after the game. The thing is, we can analyze all these incidents if you want and you can come out and assign blame to any percentage you want. You think Trout was in the wrong? I think your opinion is terribly wrong, but lets do it. Lets call it 70% 30% in favor of the Royals. Then we'll call the next one 85% 15% in favor of the Royals. Then we'll call the next one 95% vs 5% in favor of the Royals. Why is it that it's always the Royals and almost always this guy? Are they the only team that's been "wronged" in major league baseball this year? This is really simple. it keeps happening because the Royals and specifically Ventura continue to act like immature idiots. I don't care if you disagree with this opinion or not, the Royals had better get this kid under control or he's going to lose his cool and hurt someone on the field. Furthermore, they are going to lose a key member of the team in a stupid brawl. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong, stop getting in these situations. only bad things can happen. |

Congrats, Royals. You were able to finish the suspended game without any players getting ejected.

An honest question as the "NL needs a DH" things flares up. Assume for a moment that NL pitchers shouldn't hit. But why must we therefore have a DH? Why not just bat 8?

Nice catch.

Sucks Wainwright got hurt but he could have just as easily been pitching or fielding or doing pre game warmups. The DH needs to be revisited at some point but not because of pitchers hitting. If anything the Ventura nonsense in the AL should make the AL consider getting rid of the DH. Sometimes the hotheads aren't as tough when they actually have to bat. Plus to answer your bat 8 suggestion. Some players would bat 700 times. Stats would be completely out of whack. Last edited by panerd : 04-26-2015 at 09:07 PM. |

Just looked it up, not a fan of that one. Should be more like football (if nothing more than to prevent injuries to players or fans). They should make it that the player needs to get his feet back down in the field of play.
