No lie I don't necessarily hate the move here by Cincinnati Reds pitcher Amir Garrett. Too often in baseball we hear a lot of chirping and no actual fighting. Garrett said fuck that. Not only did he land a devastating left on one of the Pirates but he basically tried to fight the whole Pirates squad by himself. Sure Yasiel Puig (who was literally just traded to Cleveland during the game) charged in and tried his usual tough guy approach. There was a lot of throwing at batters which led to Reds manager David Bell getting ejected for arguing balls and strikes on Puig which led to the Pirates freaking out about Garrett tagging the runner at 1st. The Pirates kept chirping and Garrett said fuck it. Love it.
