Stop me if you’ve heard this before: baseball players got their panties in a wad because somebody didn’t respect the unwritten rules. The Braves and Blue Jays did it earlier this week, last night the Marlins and Dodgers took it up a notch.
I’m not going to lump this one into the “fake fight” category, but it’s teetering right on the edge. There was a little more in this one than your normal chit chats and “hold me backs”, but it’s a close call. Nothing really happened in this fight either.

And why was he pissed? You guessed it, unwritten rules!
Don Mattingly took issue with Corey Seager swinging 3-0 in the seventh inning of a five-run game.
