I find it hard to believe that teams are still retaliating when batters hit home runs:
The incident started in the fifth inning when Yankees star Gary Sanchez was hit by Tigers starter Michael Fulmer, just one inning after Sanchez hit his fourth home run of the series.
The Yankees retaliated an inning later when reliever Tommy Kahnle threw behind Cabrera.
Kahnle was immediately ejected by home plate umpire Carlos Torres. Yankees manager Joe Girardi was furious that no warning was given; he too was then ejected.
Aroldis Chapman replaced Kahnle, but before he could throw a pitch, Cabrera got into a heated argument with Austin Romine.
Romine took off his mask, Cabrera shoved him and then threw a punch. Benches cleared immediately and relievers sprinted in from the bullpen.
After taking several minutes to sort out the mess, umpires only chose to [eject] Cabrera and Romine.
Fulmer and Kahnle should both be suspended for a month. It’s well past the time to put the hammer down on revenge.
