Getty / Youtube The phrase “bench clearing brawl” is a bit of a misnomer in that most baseball skirmishes consist of little more than a few shoves and a collection of players standing around staring at each other. But occasionally the sports gods confuse baseball with hockey and we all get to see a few hard punches. The one doled out by Texas Rangers infielder Rougned Odor to Toronto Blue…

Chipper Jones knows a thing or two about baseball’s “unwritten rules.” A 19-year MLB veteran, Jones spent the majority of his storied career playing under legendary Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox, whose traditionalist views on the sport did not include much patience for boisterous home run celebrations. Continue Reading Below Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista and Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper are leaders among baseball’s new school –…

The Cubs would have scored the Jake Arrieta trade as a major victory even if Jake Arrieta never threw a pitch in a Cubs uniform and kept bouncing to the next Triple-A affiliate, teasing a different organization with his potential. Pedro Strop has been that good. Arrieta eclipsed Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw in last year’s National League Cy Young Award voting, overshadows the $155 million lefty (Jon Lester) in…

Why the Jose Bautista punch is a good sign for baseball The New York Post’s Joel Sherman also likes what the fight means for the game, but for different reasons: Baseball is a very popular local sport now: You care about your team, but not much about those in other cities. But if the Rangers and Blue Jays were playing again tonight, would you watch? After all the niceties —…

HAVERHILL (CBS) — A 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with a shooting near a Little League field in Haverhill on Saturday afternoon. Police patrols were increased after a pair of men were shot on a basketball court near Swasey Field where kids were playing. The shooting happened around 4 p.m. Two baseball teams of 13-year-olds were playing in the first inning when the shots rang out. The arrest…

Sunday afternoon was a doozy, as the Blue Jays and Rangers rivalry heated up to the surface of the sun. Matt Bush threw at Jose Bautista, ostensibly revenge for Bautista’s bat flip in the ALDS last year. Bautista then slid late into second baseman Rougned Odor on a ground ball double play attempt. Odor wasn’t happy, so he threw some punches at Bautista, one of which landed cleanly. Blue Jays…

Look: If you want to lament any one particular aspect of the ongoing feud between the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays — the one that escalated to full-blown fisticuffs between Rougned Odor and Jose Bautista on Sunday — make it the 96-mph fastball that Rangers reliever Matt Bush fired at Bautista. By probabilities, it appears the most dangerous of all real and perceived blows in the battle, because a…

3:36 PM ET print So the Blue Jays and Rangers got into it Sunday afternoon. But that was nothing. Here are 10 of my favorite basebrawls of all time — or, at least those that are officially available on YouTube via Major League Baseball. (For example, some famous brawls don’t have official video posted, like the Juan Marichal-Johnny Roseboro bat incident from 1965, or the White Sox-Tigers brawl — actually,…

LSU has ridden a season-best eight straight wins back into the top 10, with Tulane not far off from either distinction. The Tigers (36-16) climbed three spots to No. 8 in the latest Baseball America rankings and six spots to No. 10 in the D1Baseball.com rankings after a 5-0 road trip with two midweek wins at Notre Dame (27-23) and a three-game sweep of Tennessee (26-26)  in Knoxville, Tenn. LSU…

Caption Close DARIEN — By and large the hardest thing about developing a successful sports program at the high school level is the turnover of athletes from year to year. In most cases, it is the team with the most seniors that thrive, largely because of experience and leadership. That being said, Darien is in the midst of something special in 2016. A year removed from one of the best…

In what looked certain…

Police in Haverhill are boosting patrols after two people were shot in a basketball court next to a baseball field where young teenagers were playing. Essex County District Attorney’s Office said police responded to Swasey Field around 4 p.m. Saturday for a report of shots fired. “I thought someone was shooting off fireworks,” Tom Crockett, who was coaching baseball at the time said. “We just heard three bangs. We turned…
