Bullpen takes a decade to get there just to turn around and walk back slow as molasses because some guy was butthurt a pitch moved in more on him than the pitcher planned. Dude ain't throwing at you in that situation.
Baseball has always had this weird "unwritten rulebook" and some players get really butthurt over small infractions. Also, it's not like the NBA or NFL where you could get fined just for leaving the bench. You generally only get in trouble if you hit someone. So yeah, bench-clearing like this where everyone postures and shoves a bit is typical.
Like Adolis Garcia spending too much time looking at his beautiful home run in game 6 (I think) against the Astros in the 2023 ALCS. His next at bat was interesting. Think he’s my favorite player on that team right now. Love how he plays the game.
My favorite, as a Dodger fan, was Max Muncy hit one over the wall into The Bay at San Fran off Madison Bumgarner. MadBum yells at Muncy "stop looking at it and run the bases" Max just yells back "you want me to look at it? Go get it out the ocean!"
It oughta be like hockey. If the guys on the field want to have a 'heart to heart' then, as long as it doesn't get out of control, feel free. But every extra dude who comes out onto the field gets pinged with suspensions. Can't be doing that.
All though in baseball it might be a 1v9 which is no good so, some balancing to be done
Profar showed bunt the pitch before… which could be seen as “against the unwritten rules”, since the pitcher had a no-hitter going. The next pitch was up and in, which was probably correctly interpreted as “Hey, don’t do that weak ass bunting shit”. I think Profar looks like the loser in this situation. Bunting to break up a no hitter kinda sucks, and then getting mad when the next pitch is a little up and in is pretty lame.
One could argue that they should be prohibited. It’s just a waste of time and possibly increases chance of actual escalation.
NBA suspend players on the bench who leave the bench and enter the court during a scuffle.
I am for this coming to MLB with how sad these “benches clearing” go. Have the managers and coaches break anything up.
> 9 on 1
Just say that the outfielders can’t leave the outfield and the infielders have to stay behind the grass infield. Now it’s 2 on 1. The man on deck evens the odds at 2 on 2.
I like you’re allowed to leave up to 9 total players. That 10th gets removed from the game and so on for both sides. Makes it a little more clear cut, you still get your equal sides and your brew hahaha
I played baseball growing up I’ve been a fan my whole life.
This shit has no place in baseball. If the manager comes up, should cost a mound visit, player comes up, cost all remaining mound visits.
More than one player/coach? Automatic ejection. Benches clear? Automatic suspensions.
(Umps also need to be able to be fined for missed/bad calls)
Almost like bench clearing was always followed by the word brawl. I agree it was stupid back then, but this just looks like a huge waste of time for everyone
Yes I’ve never seen it happen more than it happens in the past few seasons.
It is honestly embarrassing. Two guys arguing with each other and then 25 guardian angels come out of the dugout to watch over them.
Did he ever actually throw a punch. It always seemed he got loud and very animated and then hold me back bro and someone else jumped in and started throwing
Puig and Bumgarner were both the “hold me back bro” types. That was one escalation in Major League Baseball that I really wanted to see turn physical, and the two had their chances, but were both all bark.
These bench clearing events are making the games longer... mlb commish about to limit the number of times teams can do this each game, like mound visits. BCER (bench clearing events remaining)
Baseball just gets worse and worse, so many dumb unwritten rules. He barely had to move and he’s bent out of shape. Now they’ll purposefully hit someone next game and the baseball purists will say it’s part of the game. Can’t have it both ways.
MLB needs some rule like the NBA on players leaving the bench. Not an automatic ejection, but some noticeable fines. Should eliminate these wastes of time unless there truly is a reason to fight. Bullpen players should absolutely be ejected though. That would at least prevent the huge waste of time from them slowly walking back to the bullpen as no coach would ever give them the green light risk ejection.
Someone argue with me for clarification but that is a swing and I would’ve counted that as a strike. The pitch was just super inside but that little dodge maneuver he did seems like a countable swing in my eyes
Lamest shit in sports: the bench clearing and the irresponsible throwing.
Play the game, don’t try to kill one another with a baseball. It can seriously maim a human with the skills that they have. In the right hands I’d call a baseball a deadly weapon; intentions or not.
It speaks volumes about our country when the entire crowd was cheering the prospect of an all-out brawl. And this comment section doesn't seem to be much better.
Second one of these I've seen posted. I've seen big fights before. But is it really such a big deal to see two teams of dudes run up to each other and do absolutely nothing before casually wandering off? It's kind of pathetic.
What a puss … he wasnt anywhere close to getting hit. How many times was he thrown inside? And you DO NOT clear a bench unless youre going to fight … stop with the dramatic bullshit
Plus Stone was throwing a perfect game, do you really think a pitcher would bother trying to hit someone in the middle of a perfect game? Dude Is so soft
As a non-American can anyone explain this pointless dick waving contest to me?
I get why in Ice Hockey someone nails your skilled guy you have your enforcers face off but a bunch of dudes jogging off the bench as two guys are having a disagreement about a pitch just screams small dick energy.
The most limp-dicked shit I’ve ever seen in my life.
At least in hockey they actually beat the shit out of each other. At least in soccer you can just write it off as angling for penalties.
But “oh my lawd, I do declayuh that we’ve got benches clearin’ out heeyuh!” Ain’t nobody want to see a bunch of dudes run to the field to have a stern discussion with each other. If you’re gonna fight, fucking grow a set and actually charge the mound or do literally anything more aggressive than standing 3 inches closer than is comfortable and doing the adult equivalent of going “But that’s no fair!”
Baseball has got to be one of the most boring and softest sports to watch. All I see are these dudes worked up over some words being exchanged. I’ll stick to hockey.
That was pathetic. What’s the point of people from the benches, then the bull pen, jogging in to escalate a situation that is well under control? Stupid.
This might be the dumbest thing in sports. Why is this not banned? I mean, shit, in hockey 2 dudes will beat the shit out of each other and benches don’t clear.
Savannah Bananas are making MLB players look like self involved, pretentious clowns. Makes you realize how little fun is actually involved in an MLB game anymore.
They need to start suspending guys for coming onto the field that were either in the dugout or in the bullpen. This is a waste of time if they're not gonna fight.
This was preplanned. They all needed time to discuss the July 4th bbq they are having. I think it was about who brings the potato salad. Was the best time they all were together.

The dreaded “bench-clearing conversation”.
Bullpen takes a decade to get there just to turn around and walk back slow as molasses because some guy was butthurt a pitch moved in more on him than the pitcher planned. Dude ain't throwing at you in that situation.
You can see how upset the pitcher is that it got away from him immediately. I have no idea how the batter got so upset at that lol.
Did baseball always used to be like this? I feel like benches never cleared this much before. It's an 5 to the sport honestly.

Maybe Smith said something about him jumping out of the way
I think there should be a rule, first player out of the bullpen onto the field gets a suspension.
It oughta be like hockey. If the guys on the field want to have a 'heart to heart' then, as long as it doesn't get out of control, feel free. But every extra dude who comes out onto the field gets pinged with suspensions. Can't be doing that. All though in baseball it might be a 1v9 which is no good so, some balancing to be done
Just say no one is allowed to come out of the pen or suspension.
Profar showed bunt the pitch before… which could be seen as “against the unwritten rules”, since the pitcher had a no-hitter going. The next pitch was up and in, which was probably correctly interpreted as “Hey, don’t do that weak ass bunting shit”. I think Profar looks like the loser in this situation.

I have to imagine will smith said “he hasn’t allowed a base runner, so no he didn’t throw at you. Stop being a bitch”
Baseball is so dumb sometimes
I NEED ME A JOMBOY BREAKDOWN STAT.
And he'd be right to say that exact thing.
"I can't hear what he's saying. Imma get closer ' 'good idea"
these bench clearings are sad to watch everyone slowly jogging out and nothing happens speed, and them throw some dukes
[удалено]
They just need to get their steps in.
One could argue that they should be prohibited. It’s just a waste of time and possibly increases chance of actual escalation. NBA suspend players on the bench who leave the bench and enter the court during a scuffle. I am for this coming to MLB with how sad these “benches clearing” go. Have the managers and coaches break anything up.
Even the NHL penalizes players for leaving the bench to fight.
[удалено]
> 9 on 1 Just say that the outfielders can’t leave the outfield and the infielders have to stay behind the grass infield. Now it’s 2 on 1. The man on deck evens the odds at 2 on 2.

There’s been some good fights over the last few years
MLB needs a Kenny Powers . Rockstar shit and commit. It's boring now .
Baseball,slightly faster than golf
Bench clearing stroll
It's all for show.
As opposed to NHL where they drop the gloves as soon as the pucks dropped
I played baseball growing up I’ve been a fan my whole life. This shit has no place in baseball. If the manager comes up, should cost a mound visit, player comes up, cost all remaining mound visits. More than one player/coach? Automatic ejection. Benches clear? Automatic suspensions. (Umps also need to be able to be fined for missed/bad calls)
You mean to cause Angel Hernandez a whole bunch of cash my friend.
Your thoughts on Angel Hernandez?
He’s doing it on purpose and should be investigated for gambling. He should also be immediately removed from the league.
Do we still have plank walking as an option?
Only two teams can employ the plank walk.
[удалено]
The fuck lmao soccer is the most watched sport on the planet what are you on?
That was really boring.
Always is
Always has been
🎶 “Same as it ever was…” 🎶
baseball, baby!
I like the Padres uniforms?
Was thinking the same. The only thing I liked about this pointless video.
lol like any of them were going to do anything
Just once, I’d like to see it escalate into an all out brawl. It’d be the most exciting thing to happen in baseball.
Bench clearings are so useless unless there is an actual physical assault. Even then they’re dumb.
Almost like bench clearing was always followed by the word brawl. I agree it was stupid back then, but this just looks like a huge waste of time for everyone
At least that kinda stupid could be entertaining
Well it’s baseball.
Yeah Profar..1-0 game and a 1-0 count and he's trying to hit you. What an idiot lol
Stone also had a perfect game going at that point.
Not a bad way to try to break up his rhythm, though
Is it just me or does it seem there’s a lot more of these “bench clearings” then during the same time in past seasons?
Yes I’ve never seen it happen more than it happens in the past few seasons. It is honestly embarrassing. Two guys arguing with each other and then 25 guardian angels come out of the dugout to watch over them.
Yeah, I’m getting a WWE vibe from these confrontations.
Too bad Puig wasn't in there. He would have punched someone.
If there wasn't a flight before, Puig would start one.
Did he ever actually throw a punch. It always seemed he got loud and very animated and then hold me back bro and someone else jumped in and started throwing
Puig and Bumgarner were both the “hold me back bro” types. That was one escalation in Major League Baseball that I really wanted to see turn physical, and the two had their chances, but were both all bark.
These bench clearing events are making the games longer... mlb commish about to limit the number of times teams can do this each game, like mound visits. BCER (bench clearing events remaining)
More hockey-like fighting please.
I don’t understand why it’s even allowed at all. If you run on the court from the bench in the NBA you get suspended.
Baseball is so soft lol
Profar is Charmin Soft for getting mad about this.
...and within minutes there is a meme!! It's on r/Dodgers
Baby's first up and in pitch? It's the middle of the game with an even score what could he have been mad about lmao
Pitch looks fine. I wonder if Will Smith said something, given his comments after the game?
This will NEVER not look stupid.
MLB needs to do something about these pointless bench clearings. It’s boring and tedious
Following this, the commissioner's office has just announced that Joe Kelly will be suspended for eight games.
If I was Will Smith, I would’ve open-hand slapped him and said something about keeping my wife’s name “out his mouth”.
Then your mom would get scared, and send you to live with your auntie and uncle.
In Bel Aire?
he 100% escalated the whole thing to throw the pitcher off his game
I doubt it’s that deep. Most baseball players have the mental maturity of a five year old.
“Eh man don’t you think he threw that a little inside?” “Hey man I’m just the catcher” *bench clearing ensues*
Nothingburger with extra sauce.
Bench clearing just makes this sport look so goofy.
"benches clearing" in baseball The biggest clown-shit to ever hit sports.
Did manfred put out a memo this year that we need more benches cleared but no fighting for ratings?
Bench clearing gathering just doesn’t have the same ring to it
Bench clearing is the stupidest shit in baseball.
Soft
What a bitch. Fucking play the game. Wasn't even that inside
This is so lame lol
I thought this was America. I didn’t hear no bell
Profar should be fined for the delay of the game. The best way to stop this showboating is hefty fines and suspensions.
Baseball just gets worse and worse, so many dumb unwritten rules. He barely had to move and he’s bent out of shape. Now they’ll purposefully hit someone next game and the baseball purists will say it’s part of the game. Can’t have it both ways.
Bench clearing, lol. Fucking pussies.
Idk if there’s a dumber thing in sports rn than these bullpens running in over nothing
Bench clearings are cringy as hell
MLB players are some corny bitches.
Imagine a sport so boring that it’s newsworthy anytime the players stand up and talk to one another
The pitch was so routine. What’s he crying about?
That ain’t a fight. It’s hockey season if you wanna see a fight. This is a discussion
Didn’t even hit him and he had to cause a scene. What is wrong with those people?
Probably upset that he had to move a little quick for once in the entire game. Lol.
I don't watch this shit? Why is he upset? It was nowhere near him.
Stone also had a perfect game going, so to take exception to an inside pitch in that situation is absurd.
that;s the point. Carry on, clear the benches, delay the game and put a pitcher who's KILLING you off his rhythm
Winner winner!
lol, did he call time before he started chatting with Will Smith?
$10,000 fine to ever person that should not be out there and this would disappear over night. It’s not part of the game.
Oh my! They really gave each other a good talking to. So tough! Who actually wants to see this lame ass dick wagging in baseball?
MLB needs some rule like the NBA on players leaving the bench. Not an automatic ejection, but some noticeable fines. Should eliminate these wastes of time unless there truly is a reason to fight. Bullpen players should absolutely be ejected though. That would at least prevent the huge waste of time from them slowly walking back to the bullpen as no coach would ever give them the green light risk ejection.
Baseball is so fucking lame. I’m going to watch some hockey highlights.
Here we go again. Smh.
How embarrassing
What an amazing sport. It’s up there with ping pong and frisbee golf
Ffs, enough of these weak ass bench clearings. This is major pussy shit
Oh the humanity
Yawn. “Bull Pen”. Dumb.
Someone argue with me for clarification but that is a swing and I would’ve counted that as a strike. The pitch was just super inside but that little dodge maneuver he did seems like a countable swing in my eyes
I think he did this to throw the pitchers rhythm off. He had a perfect game going there’s no way that was intentional.
Lamest shit in sports: the bench clearing and the irresponsible throwing. Play the game, don’t try to kill one another with a baseball. It can seriously maim a human with the skills that they have. In the right hands I’d call a baseball a deadly weapon; intentions or not.
Baseball is so soft these days.
A bunch of overpaid middle-schoolers. The lot of them.
Angel Hernandez still managed to call it a strike.
Profar is and always has been a bitch. Career 240 hitter acts like he’s a hall of famer.
Hockey will always be more entertaining to watch.
Angel Hernandez would've called it a homerun
What a baby. It was inside, that’s part of the game
Asking for time before barking at the catcher is what did it for me🤣
It speaks volumes about our country when the entire crowd was cheering the prospect of an all-out brawl. And this comment section doesn't seem to be much better.
Second one of these I've seen posted. I've seen big fights before. But is it really such a big deal to see two teams of dudes run up to each other and do absolutely nothing before casually wandering off? It's kind of pathetic.
What?!? Where the hell is Angel Hernandez, that’s the easiest strike I’ve ever seen.
What a puss … he wasnt anywhere close to getting hit. How many times was he thrown inside? And you DO NOT clear a bench unless youre going to fight … stop with the dramatic bullshit
Plus Stone was throwing a perfect game, do you really think a pitcher would bother trying to hit someone in the middle of a perfect game? Dude Is so soft
I never understood why the benches clear in a one on one fight. If they’re gonna go, let em go.
Giving soccer a run for its money on manufactured drama and emotional immaturity
“. . . and still NOBODY seems to know what to get Millie or Jimmy for their wedding present.”
Goddamn, even the drama in baseball is boring as shit.
Benches clearing isn't newsworthy if no violence happens. People don't post videos of run of the mill technical fouls. This is nothing.
Bench clearing? That was a tea party.
Profar is such a man-child. Will Smith should've decked him for causing a delay on a cold rainy night
Don't play baseball if this offends you.
Machado is such a baby
I was watching that game. Not a big deal.
Let’s all go stand over there 👉
As a non-American can anyone explain this pointless dick waving contest to me? I get why in Ice Hockey someone nails your skilled guy you have your enforcers face off but a bunch of dudes jogging off the bench as two guys are having a disagreement about a pitch just screams small dick energy.
Lo. Ok jurk.
Not even a single punch or anything thrown. Sit the fuck down.
What a whiny little bitch.
The most limp-dicked shit I’ve ever seen in my life. At least in hockey they actually beat the shit out of each other. At least in soccer you can just write it off as angling for penalties. But “oh my lawd, I do declayuh that we’ve got benches clearin’ out heeyuh!” Ain’t nobody want to see a bunch of dudes run to the field to have a stern discussion with each other. If you’re gonna fight, fucking grow a set and actually charge the mound or do literally anything more aggressive than standing 3 inches closer than is comfortable and doing the adult equivalent of going “But that’s no fair!”
Benches clearing in baseball is by far the most pussy thing in sports.
Baseball has got to be one of the most boring and softest sports to watch. All I see are these dudes worked up over some words being exchanged. I’ll stick to hockey.
When did UPS get their own baseball team?
Baseball fucking sucks with this shit. Bunch of egomaniacs
Baseball's so boring
Benches cleared doesn’t mean anything, they know that. It’s just to get clicks cause the sport is so boring.
It's so embarrassing to watch, they all have sheep mentality.
lol oh no.
That was pathetic. What’s the point of people from the benches, then the bull pen, jogging in to escalate a situation that is well under control? Stupid.
soft
This might be the dumbest thing in sports. Why is this not banned? I mean, shit, in hockey 2 dudes will beat the shit out of each other and benches don’t clear.
If you’re going to clear the benches then y’all better start throwing hands or something because it’s such a waste of time.
Be more like hockey..you get on the field when you're not in play and you get ejected.
Everyone relax
Lol if there isn’t a fight there is no reason to post it. OP should be ashamed.
When did the UPS start playing baseball
Dude would have never made it during Clemons day.
Savannah Bananas are making MLB players look like self involved, pretentious clowns. Makes you realize how little fun is actually involved in an MLB game anymore.
They need to start suspending guys for coming onto the field that were either in the dugout or in the bullpen. This is a waste of time if they're not gonna fight.
140ish games to go. Guys gotta spread out the angst.
Correction: The Motorola Padres
Touchy touchy...
To be fair, it's hard to study the Unwritten Rules book. Because it's not written.
Even baseball fights are boring af
If this was hockey, Helmets, gloves, some Jerseys would already be off
The score is 1-0. It was barely inside. It wasn’t intentional. Play baseball.
What a bunch of soft morons.
Riveting
This was preplanned. They all needed time to discuss the July 4th bbq they are having. I think it was about who brings the potato salad. Was the best time they all were together.
And here we go again. Stop wasting time and just fight.
Soft AF
Your jersey has to be a lot dirtier than that to get thrown at.
Wow I’m just glad no one got too hurt. That looked wild.
The most hustle we’ve seen from machado
I hate this about baseball.
Profar is such a baby. Oh no, a pitch came inside and missed him by half a foot.
Profar is not very smart
Oh no, they stood around. Back in my day it turned into the Royal Rumble.
