What led up to that?

 

Stealing this from a reddit comment thread...was written by an SD fan:

BACKSTORY FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO WASNT WATCHING:

Last night, Padres CF was hit chest high in the ribs, leading to a 10 day DL stint announced today. Appeared unintentional.

This afternoon, Perdomo plunked Trevor story. Looked unintentional but may not have been.

Shortly thereafter, Rockies pitcher hit Hunter Renfroe high and on the wrist. Looked unintentional, but was a dangerous location nonetheless.

Perdomo then threw belt high and behind Arenado, leading to this.

EDIT: Digging even deeper, Padres 3B Villanueva hit 3HRs in one game during the earlier series and was plunked afterwards. So this might have been brewing in some degree for over a week.

EDIT 2: For further context, since the season began, 5 Padre hitters have been hit by Rockies pitchers, including one that sent starting CF Margot to the hospital with a rib injury. 1 COL hitter was hit (Trevor Story today) and then Perdomo threw behind Arenado

Brawl at Fenway. Some real punches were exchanged. Have to see the replay to see if Sanchez landed any sucker punches this time.


Was hoping to see Stanton swing and miss a couple more times.

Actually the players did a pretty good job in separating everything.

Agreed straight gunning for the second baseman’s ankle. Sliding like that needs to be banned with harsher penalties. Give me an old school speil if you want, but honestly what good is that in the game. Best way to breakup a double play is to have a better at bat and not roll over.

Yankees win, haters gonna hate. Stanton & Sanchez’s bats seem to be awakening. 

 

And I’d like to see a basebrawl where the players actually look like they’ve been in a fight before. They’re so pathetic. Austin falling down today was embarrasing, as was the Padres pitcher who went into a full backpedal as Arenado charged. Haven’t seen a good baseball fight since Odor straight clocked Bautista.

Austin deserved every bit of that pitch.  His slide into 2nd earlier in the game was fucking dirty.

Yes, it was.  The commentators tried to cover for him saying he slid over the bag, but legal doesn't make it right.  You go in spikes up like that and you're gonna eat a fastball.  Been that way for 150 years.

That dude is a pussy.  That's a blatantly illegal and dirty slide.  Did they not call the guy out at first after that slide?

Tyler Austin's slide was dirty as shit.  We will hear all about how his foot just popped up and he couldn't help it from the Yankees side but that's complete bullshit.  Your foot doesn't come up like that unless you are intentionally going after the opposing player.

OK, I didn't see the game, and I'm just now looking at the box score and the highlights...

1.  Joe Kelly is a bigger pussy than Tyler Austin.  If you're going to hit the guy, hit him.  Kelly threw a first pitch slider to Austin for a strike, then threw a fastball waaaay inside that was probably supposed to hit Austin.  Then he threw another slider (low), and then he hit him on the next pitch.  That's fucking bullshit.  If you're going to hit him on purpose, do it ASAP.  Austin has a legit reason to be upset about that. 

2.  Really impressed by Aaron Judge.  How the hell did he get out there so quickly?  And I think you can credit him for it not getting more out of control than it did.  He's pretty much the exact opposite of Gerardo Parra.
