Royals’ Yordano Ventura takes a beating on social media after brawl
I’ll let you score the Yordano Ventura-Manny Machado fight for yourself, but the reaction on social media was lopsided.
While some were pleased with Ventura’s actions Tuesday night, there were a lot more people who were happy Ventura was punched and even more who said they were sick of his behavior.
Yordano Ventura is such a punk.

Does anyone own a Ventura jersey? I don't remember seeing any. I'm done with the Let's throw fire thing for sure.

I think maybe Ventura should save his 99 mph pitches for throwing strikes, not hitting batters on emotional whims.
