Above you of course see Nationals superstar Bryce Harper exchanging unkind words and soupbones with excitable Giants reliever Hunter Strickland. The brawl was notable for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it was an actual brawl with actual punches thrown and landed (albeit not to great effect). Second, it involved no less a name than Harper. Elsewhere, Mike Morse got accidentally wrecked by teammate Jeff Samardzija, and Giants catcher Buster Posey thought better of protecting his pitcher after Harper began his mound-ward charge.
