Wild MLB Brawl Leads to Coach Tackling Opposing Team's Star Player: 'That Was Kind of Cheap'

By Jack Davis

It was the old brawl game Wednesday at Busch Stadium in St. Louis when two days of up-and-in pitches led to a bench-clearing brawl.

The fuse was lit Tuesday when New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso was hit in the head by a pitch and jawed at St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kodi Whitley when he went to first base. Both teams backed away from the brink without a punch.

Not so Wednesday, when Yoan Lopez, making his first appearance for New York, sent a pitch close to Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado, according to KSDK-TV.

First came the talking; then both dugouts and bullpens emptied for what was mostly pushing and shoving by several million dollars’ worth of baseball talent.

The melee crested when St. Louis first base coach Stubby Clapp tackled Alonso, earning him an ejection along with Arenado, who had led the St. Louis charge to the mound.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Clapp did nothing wrong.

“I just watched the video. He’s making sure that guy doesn’t come after one of ours. He’s holding him back. I don’t see an issue with it at all. I watched it several times before coming in here. He’s keeping their guy from getting on top of one of ours. So, I’m OK with it,” he said.

Alonso, who is 6-foot-3 and weighs 245 pounds, had a different view of the incident with the 5-foot-8, 49-year-old Clapp.

“I got pulled from behind, actually Genesis Cabrera grabbed me by the back of the collar, and then he just ripped down, and the coach just kind of jumped on me. I thought that was kind of cheap going from behind … If you want to hold me back, if you want to restrain me, go at me like a man,” he said.

Alonso said he understood why the Cardinals manager would stand by his guys.

“I totally understand because I’m a big guy; I’m a big, strong guy. Obviously, the manager wants to have protection for his team and his staff, and I totally get it. And for me, like I’m a big, strong guy. They don’t know like my temper. They don’t know what I could do. If I wanted to put someone in the hospital, I easily could, but I was just out there trying to protect my guys,” Alonso said.

Alonso said the pitch that started the fight “wasn’t even close” and that it was like “something started for no reason.”

The Mets, who were down 10-5 when the fuss began, ended up losing by that score.

When we played baseball in High School, they called throwing at a batter's head a "cookie pitch".
