VIDEO: Slo-Mo Footage of Amir Garrett Fight Proves Chris Archer Got Destroyed by Wild Punches
By Adam Weinrib
Reds reliever Amir Garrett completely changed the narrative around a ho-hum loss, right at the very moment his team was reshaping its rotation around Trevor Bauer. If you enjoyed watching this monster brawl at full speed, may we recommend the slo-mo version? It truly enhances just how wild this thing was, right down to the fact that Yasiel Puig, traded mid-brawl, still went to bat for his now-former teammates.
So, who got it the worst?
Well, that would be the same man who got the most ruined at the last trade deadline, too: Chris Archer. Check out the Pirates' disappointing hurler getting unintentionally pummeled to the turf by a mixed crew of the Reds and his own team.
If you didn't know the name Kyle Crick before, now you do. These two teams hate each other more than the Yankees and Red Sox at this juncture, and hopefully someday this carries over to the...postseason. We loved the 2013 Wild Card Game. We'd love to see a redux that doesn't involve last-place implications.
