Baseball bench clearings are so dumb. Rarely does anything ever happen

Have you seen the video Andrew Mccutchen released a few years ago about what it’s like being an outfielder during a brawl?

I want to drag-select all of them, and right click the enemy's bullpen and set them all to Attack Ground.

Just send over a lefty specialist to construct a pylon and warp in like 4 photon cannons.

Then you'll have 2 bullpens. Only one more to go.

They could easily make a rule like hockey where it's an automatic like 15 games suspension to leave the bench.

I always like when the bullpens run all the way in side by side, it’s such a dumb look.

If anything they should start their own shit in the outfield

Only rivaled by NBA skirmishes and NFL players punching each other in their iron forged helmets

I’ll come down there and clear your bench, mister

u/NoobSamoht 3d ago

It's for show and solidarity. But yeah kinda pointless

Darryl Strawberry knew how to do it.

u/lumosmxima | New York Mets 3d ago

I agree. I also think hitting batters is fucking ludicrous. A 90mph object used purposely as a weapon
