The Cubs and Marlins almost got into it during their Tuesday night game, key word almost. What was shaping up to be a bench-clearing brawl quickly turned into meeting at home plate where they ... tickled each other?
Heres the reason for the benches clearing in the first place: Miami second baseman Derek Dietrich plowed through Chicago catcher Victor Caratini in the 4th inning. Dietrich was out, words were exchanged and the benches emptied.
But things never really got out of hand, as a few players from each side kind of just met at the plate. Then some tickling happened.
Dont take my word for it, heres a gif of Kris Bryant ruthlessly tickling Starlin Castro. This really happened.

There’s no tickling in baseball!
Evidently, there is.
Ok, now that’s just cool and funny.
Hehehe.
Back when I was young, single and stupid I had a summer job as one of the smallest bouncers at a huge Jersey Shore night club (The old Sea Girt Inn, 11 bars, 33 bartenders, 20+ bouncers, legal capacity 3,000). Patrolling my area one night I spied two rather large individuals who appeared about to come to blows, a little shoving going on.
I had been goofing around with some friends before work and had a water pistol in my pocket. I pulled it and got their attention with a stream to each face. I said something like “Don’t make me use this again!” followed by “c’mon, guys, lets break it up”. A few seconds of silence, then both cracked up laughing. Defused the stuation.
LOL, 9 out of 10 times you get dropped for that.
I bet those guys are friend off the field. LOL
Perhaps more than friends lol
Of course.
This was a great moment in human history. Too bad this tactic can’t be used in internationalairport relationships.
Lawrence: No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked doin' something like that, man.
Not in that place...in thirty seconds there would have been three or four big guys in white shirt and black tie (the bouncer & bartender uniform) there helping out. When we had troublemakers who needed to be removed but had not yet become violent, three or four of us would approach. I'd talk politely with the miscreant while the other guys gave him the "Aw, come on, let us at him" look. His choice was to walk out quietly with us and be welcome back another day, or to be removed and banned. Almost always worked, and when it didn't it was over quickly.
I love Starlin sorry the Yanks got rid of him.
LOLLOL
