Nyjer Morgan

Nyjer Morgan charges mound

Last night’s game between the Florida Marlins, and Washington Nationals looked to be just a routine blowout, but it turned into a giant brawl.

Nyjer Morgan was hit by a pitch earlier in the game as payback for throwing an elbow into St. Louis Catcher Bryan Anderson at home plate, when trying to score a run.

Morgan then proceeded to steal 2 bases while the Washington Nationals were down by 11 runs. There is an unwritten rule in baseball, that you don’t steal bases when the game is out of reach.

The next plate appearance that Morgan had, Chris Volstad threw a pitch behind him. Morgan then charged the mound and threw a punch toward Volstad’s head, which was deflected. As this was happening, Marlins first baseman Gaby Sanchez ran in, to defend his pitcher. He threw an arm out and “Clothes Lined” Nyjer Morgan, who hit the ground pretty hard.

Morgan ended up at the bottom of the pile as Marlins players jumped in to help defend their pitcher. When all was said and done, there were no major injuries, but there surely will be several suspensions handed out by Major League Baseball in the coming week.
