A-Rod chose to attack someone who was wearing catcher's gear. They fought face-to-face. Sanchez repeatedly punched two different people who were pinned to the ground, unable to defend themselves and facing away from him. Two completely different situations. In fact, the only thing these two incidents have in common is a Yankees player making a really, really stupid decision.
It looked like VTek and ARod both went after each other at the same time.
How about the sucker punches and antics the Yanks did to Bill Lee?

All I see is A-Rod screaming "fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, motherfucker, come on" and waving his hands at himself in the universal sign for "bring it". Then I see him and Tek going at each other at the same time.
If screaming "fuck you" seven times in a row at someone while walking towards them does not make you at least partially responsible for the instigation of a fight, what does?

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

Is it possible he is actually Gary Sanchez, trying desperately to justify his actions? I can understand a Yankees fan complaining about Tek's actions during that fight, but I can't understand anyone, even a Yankees fan, defending Sanchez.
