Tom Prince showed some great form trying to block Puig.

Yea I mean Dietrich did stand there and admire the homer a little too long but if you don’t want him doing that and Archer and Cervelli don’t like it don’t give up a homerun. Puig is a nutcase at the same time should have been tossed.

Kela and Vasquez were tossed. Will make for a short pen in a game where the balls are flying.

Dietrich was way over the top. No need to stand there 5 seconds. He and Archer were involved in an age-old baseball dispute. Archer didn’t even hit Dietrich. The guy who was over the top was Savid Bell.

What a shot by Bell. 474' over the CF batter's eye wall.

Holy smokes! Josh Bell hits one over the batters eye!!

Never seen anything close.

Holy smokes, Josh Bell is driving the ball a long ways.

This is a very very good sign. Very good.

This is a GREAT response to the fight:

Josh destroys the ball. Melky running harder then he probably has in 10 years stretches a single into a double. Jason Martin hits a sharp single to score Melky.

Good guys up 4-3.

Archer made it thru 5 on 86 pitches. Need him to go 6 with Kela and Vazquez ejected.

Melky has been really good so far these first 8 games. He has filled in very nicely for both Polanco and Dickerson. Having a guy like him on the bench is gonna good moving forward.
