It all started at the top of the eighth, when Mets player JD Davis was punctured in the leg by a Genesis Cabrera pitch and had to leave the game. The Mets, who are leading the MLB in HBP this season – 19 so far, including three from Tuesday night’s game against the Cardinals – seemed to respond immediately, with Lopez throwing a pitch near Nolan Arenado’s head. Arenado shouted at Lopez to “do it again” and then both teams jumped off the stairs. If you watch the left side of the scrum, you will see the Cardinals first base coach, Stubby Clapp, grab Mets slugger Pete Alonso from behind and perform a bodyslam. Stubby seemed to be having a great time: Screenshot: SNY Another angle shows the Cardinals’ warrior, Giovanni Galegos, making a vault over the bullfighting wall and sprinting hand to hand. The real star of the Cardinals / Mets brawl was Cardinals reliever Giovanny Gallegos who jumped the fence instead of using the stairs 😂 pic.twitter.com/7eRfnWy3Qf – Breaking Bats Podcast (@BreakingBatsPod) April 27, 2022 The post-match interviews were quite typical, with each team excluding the other team’s actions without having any problems with its own, but it was Alonso, the guy thrown to the ground by a guy named Stubby, who gave the most funny quotes set. You already know that things are going in the right direction when Alonso begins his answer by talking about how he felt “rising with a canopy” during Tuesday’s race, and then goes on to talk about how strong a guy he is. . Pete Alonso does not say a word about the current quarrel. “If I wanted to put someone in the hospital, I could easily.” He says he was just protecting his teammates when he was thrown to the ground: pic.twitter.com/iPTlLr5SiL – Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) April 27, 2022 “I’m a big, very strong guy, obviously the coach wants to have protection for his team.” “For me, I’m a very strong guy, they do not know my composure, they do not know what I could do. “I mean, if I wanted to put someone in the hospital I could easily, but I was out there trying to protect my children.” So let’s show the record: Stubby Clapp really knows how to mix them up and Pete Alonso is a very strong guy.
