VIDEO: Benches Clear in Rangers-Twins After Odd Exchange Between Marwin Gonzalez and Logan Forsythe
By Mark Powell
In the wee hours of Sunday morning, the Twins and Rangers very nearly ruined Josh Hamilton night. We kid, of course, but typically a benches-clearing brawl is caused by some sort of nonsense. In this case, it was just...nothing? Marwin Gonzalez grounded out to second base in the top of the eighth inning, and took offense with something, only to complain and challenge Rangers first baseman Logan Forsythe.
Do I understand any of this? No, not really. But we'd all love to see a fight between Rougned Odor and Miguel Sano. Unfortunately, we didn't get that, instead settling for some relaxed smack talk you'd get at a bar fight that nobody really wants to get involved in.
