This might be one of the weirdest benches clearing incidents I’ve ever seen in a baseball game.

After Boston Red Sox reliever Franklin Morales hit Tampa Bay Rays DH and Fenway “favorite” Luke Scott, Scott proceeded to head towards the mound. Jarrod Saltalamacchia got in his way but both benches emptied.

While some initial jawing happened and the only real shove was between Scott and Salty, it seemed as though most of the exchanges of words came from the coaches of both teams.

I’ll let the video do the rest of the explaining. Oh and by the way, no one was ejected from the game after all of it too.

Before Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim starter Jered Weaver went out to finish his no-hitter in the 9th inning on Wednesday night, the MLB Tonight crew on the MLB Network noticed something after he finished the 8th. They saw him head to clubhouse to go to the bathroom.

This is normally not a big issue because players do it all the time. It’s the fact that he broke his ritual during a no-hitter.

Harold Reynolds was sure enough to ask him about that during an interview after the game and of course Weaver gave him the brutally honest answer.

For some odd reason during Friday night’s 10-3 win over the Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox skipper Bobby Valentine decided that he was going to play batboy and give his catcher Kelly Shoppach a new bat.

It didn’t work out too well for Shoppach as he struck out during the at-bat.

Do you know what the difference between mittens and gloves are? Well apparently NESN Boston Red Sox play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo doesn’t.

Fortunately for Orsillo, Jerry Remy does and let’s him know that he’s wrong.

During the HBO show Entourage whenever Jeremy Piven’s character Ari Gold wanted to settle something, he’d say “Let’s Hug It Out B*tch”.

So after his second straight quality start last night that’s all Boston Red Sox starter Felix Doubront wanted to do with his batterymate Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Instead, awkwardness ensued.

Whenever comedian Lenny Clarke stops by the NESN booth, hilarity usually ensues.

Today was no different when he talked with Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy during the Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees game. Clarke was on hand for Fenway Park’s 100th Anniversary celebration.
