As for the two basebrawl games:
* Tyler Austin (Yankees) did try a dirty play on that slide into second where Brock Holt (Red Sox) wasn't even thinking
of going for a double play. What a shock that he was liable to be brushed back later in the game.
* The least surprising brushback had to be Nolan Arrenado getting one behind his back, considering his Rockies
were throwing a little too often at the Padres over a couple of games' worth.
* Aaron Judge shows himself this generation's Frank Howard---the gentle giant. During the Yankee-Red Sox scrum,
after Joe Kelly brushed back Austin, Judge managed to wrap Kelly up in a head-and-shoulder lock and escort him away
from the brouhaha with a big grin. Of course Judge only looks like he could crush your skull between two
fingertips, just like Frank Howard looked like half an offensive line by himself.
