You’re right about the date. I forgot last year the Reds were a disaster & the Cards won the World Series. However, you’re wrong about who started the fight. Rollins began it by hitting Molina’s shin guards & mouthing off to the toughest guy in the MLB who diddn’t take any crap off a punk.
Rollins = Brandon Phillips
Actually, the brawl started when Molina mouthed off to Brandon Phillips, who greeted every catcher with a tap to the shin guard. Only Molina, gracious player that he is, took exception.
Kind of hard to do when you are in a wind up and a DB suddenly calls time, knowing that your windup causes you to turn your back on the plate. Pagan knew what he was doing when backed out. And if you are a Cards fan, you would realize that if Bob Gibson were around, being hit in the back would be the least that Pagan would be worrying about.
Don't mention the word "choke" around this Rangers fan. I need a drink.
Gibson handled his business on the mound, not going around kicking players.
Yes! And THIS time, without the earthquake!! I also grew up in the Bay Area (Vallejo).
Why baseball? Seems like you would enjoy hockey more.
Maybe MLB should stop adding Wildcards! LOL
And that was my original point, one of the Reds pitchers should (have) plunk(ed) Pagan as payback for his bush league. This has nothing to do with the brawl between the Reds and Cards.

Actually, hockey is my favorite sport. I love baseball though, going back to growing up in the Big Red Machine era.
Championship series!
Championship series!
They gave it a good run..
Next year!
If both Bay Area teams come back from 2-0 deficits, I think that’s a sign that an earthquake is imminent.
Between what the A’s did to the Rangers and now the Tigers, I am really starting to hate that team (although I will root for them against the Yankees, should they meet).
No kidding. I did not enjoy this game.
LOL - NO! It has been good to the birds.
