There is SOOO much to unpack from the epic basebrawl that took place Tuesday night between the Cincinnati Reds and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The first question is obviously, “Why did Amir Garrett think he could take on the entire Pirates roster?”

“I don’t condone what I did. It’s not in the game for something like that to happen,” Garrett said after the game. “Sometimes, you let emotions get the best of you. I don’t condone that. I don’t like for kids to see that in the baseball environment. Baseball is fun. The violence shouldn’t be in there. At the end of the day, it about protecting your teammates, protecting yourself. Emotions got the best of me.”

That’s great, Amir, but did you really think you could beat up their entire squad?

The next question has to be, “What was Reds manager David Bell thinking coming out on the field during the brawl after already being ejected from the game earlier?”

Then there was also the fact that Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig wholeheartedly joined in the melee despite having already learned that he had been traded to the Indians for Trevor Bauer and change.

Another amazing thing that happened during the game was the fact that Reds outfielder Jesse Winker learned his buddy Puig had been dealt to the Indians from a fan in the outfield bleachers.

He didn’t seem too thrilled with the news.

Baseball in the 21st century, folks.
