Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Five people got involved in a brawl, with one person throwing a right hook and another throwing a jab. It’s no surprise that the fans were getting restless, given the 11-4 loss and the Yankees’ eight losses in their last 11 games.
The tension was palpable, especially with temperatures near 90 degrees. The fans were probably feeling the heat, both literally and figuratively.
This one felt recognizable early, with Trout and Judge going back and forth in the game.
The result wasn’t surprising by the end, given the way the game unfolded.
Original Observation: The brawl was just a manifestation of the frustration that’s been building all season.
