Re last night's brawl
"After the game, Rays manager Joe Maddon correctly pointed out five-run leads aren’t exactly safe, even in the seventh inning, and his side did not object in last year’s ALDS when Jacoby Ellsbury stole second base with the Sox leading the Rays by the score of 8-2 in the eighth inning.
“Our goal is to not permit them to score runs,” said the Rays’ skipper, who had his 700th Rays victory overshadowed. “Their goal is to score runs – the whole game. That’s always been the goal within the game of baseball. Apparently some of the guys on their bench did not like that.”"
