I just witnessed the benches clear in the Diamondbacks, Cardinals game. I don't know about you, but I've always wondered what goes through everyone's heads as they slowly, lethargically trot onto the field. Are these players going to diffuse whatever "situation" there is out on the field? Or is all of this instigated by the bench players who need a little excitement to their two at bats per week?
Even though nothing ever amounts from these situations, I love it every time. I'm really ready for someone to get really fired up and just go at it. Every club should have a thug, just like in hockey. When the benches clear he should be the first one on the field throwing rainmakers. Best case scenario, he gets their star player suspended for the rest of the series against your team, and you finally get to see these baseball players get fired up on Wednesday night game in June. Now, this will only work if your own star players are instructed to STAY AWAY. That may be pretty difficult for players like Justin Upton or any closer in baseball. Those are the few that can get fired up for almost any moments. Just find a guy with their fire and little baseball talent, and a thug is born. I am definitely ready to see this happen.
