    Given the huge number of Latin American and Caribbean players in baseball now, I'm surprised more teams don't do this. Are the Marlins the first?

    Complete bullshit that Hundley gets ejected.

    Dipshit Dodger fans cheering for the backup catcher getting ejected when Puig means more. Oh and Puig for sure throws a punch. He's going to be seeing a lot of bench from this.

    Get punched = ejection. Seems legit.
    (I hate Dodgers so anything I say should be taken with a bucket of salt)

    Wouldn't call an open hand push a punch. Yes Puig was the first to put hands on someone.

    Open handed push to start followed by a punch during the melee. There was a punch

    OK. So after both benches emptied, Puig was the only one to throw a punch?
    When it was him and Hundley it was an open hand shove or push.

    Yasiel Puig, Nick Hundley fight, benches clear

    Puig had a 1-2 count when he appeared to express frustration at fouling off a Tony Watson pitch. Following that, he and Hundley began jawing at each other. Emotions apparently skyrocketed quickly, as Puig pushed Hundley, who quickly responded with a shove. That's all it took for members of both teams to sprint toward home plate and hover threateningly around each other, except for the handful who actively tried to separate Puig and Hundley to prevent matters from escalating.

    Watched it again, Puig does throw a punch when everyone came onto the field.

    Of the two people ejected, Puig was the only one to throw a (perceived) punch, correct.

    Just saw a video where it showed Puig threw a slap not a traditional punch. But he was the only one in the videos I've seen taking swings at people's domes. Hundley, meanwhile, exchanges words, gets a hand to the face (possibly shoves back), is held back, hit in the face a second time, tackled to the ground, held back some more and ejected.

    Did Hundley go to Cleveland State?
