"I’d be mad if I had to jog in from the bullpen for ultimately nothing" "Donaldson is a clown" - MLB world not amused by a bench-clearing brawl between New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox players
During the New York Yankees versus Chicago White Sox game on Saturday afternoon, a tense situation escalated between Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson and White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandaln and led to a bench-clearing brawl. Players from both MLB teams immediately left their dugouts and bullpens and converged on the field to stop the verbal brawl from turning into anything more serious.

MLB fans were quick to take to Twitter after the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox brawl
Unlike other sports, such as football, brawls in baseball are usually dignified with no serious consequences. Brutal knockouts or any sort of violence is extremely rare in bench-clearing brawls. Nevertheless, MLB fans expect to see some hot-action during such baseball brawls. MLB fans were disappointed when the New York Yankees and White Sox brawl led to nothing and quickly ended in no time.
Roscoe Russell rightfully expressed how spilling out of the bullpen would be a waste because the brawl led to nothing.

The tickle fights at home plate, as James Lettieri called them, are his least favorite aspect of baseball. He feels the players should either stay in your dugout/bullpen or throw a punch.

Dakota Pettus jokes on Twitter about how baseball players constantly act aggressive but never throw their fists.
Baseball players always fake tough but won’t ever throw hands. Let Anderson go, he isn’t going to go do anything 🤣🤣🤣 twitter.com/mlbonfox/statu…
