The Washington Nationals pitcher Jonathan Papelbon grabbed teammate Bryce Harper's throat in the dugout on Sunday as the team struggled against the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Nationals went on to lose to the Phillies 12-5, and after the game, Papelbon appeared calm as he talked to reporters.
"I grew up with brothers, he grew up with brothers, I view him as a brother," Papelbon said. "And sometimes in this game, there's a lot of testosterone and things spill over."
We want to crash their playdates.

A bag that allegedly contained evidence from the rape investigation into NHL star Patrick Kane what was left outside the victim's mother's front door was falsified and planted by the mother, the District Attorney in Eerie County, New York said Friday.
On Wednesday, the alleged victim's attorney, Thomas Eoannou, held a news conference saying a brown bag containing evidence – including his client's rape kit – had been ripped open and left on her mother's doorstep.
Eoannou indicated that the chain of custody of the rape kit, which is essential to preserving admissibility of evidence in a trial, had been broken with the evidence in his client's case, and a "good samaritan" had delivered it to the mother's home. The attorney pointed out initials from the nurse and the alleged victim, used to indicate that the evidence was in fact the original collection from the alleged victim.
Thursday night, Eoannou removed himself as counsel for the alleged victim due to ethical concerns.
Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita said Friday that Eoannou's information wasn't true.
The evidence bag and brown bag presented by Eoannou on Wednesday was not the evidence taken from the alleged victim in August. The rape kit and other evidence remain in police custody and are fully intact, according to the DA.

Sedita on Friday presented a point-by-point walk-through of who was in possession of the legitimate rape kit and evidence.
Video of the certifiable rape kit was shown being placed in a locker by an investigator:

The Group A fixture is due to finish around 9:30pm and the last train departing London's Paddington station for South Wales is 10pm.
The services leaving after 10pm are only due to go as far as Bristol.
Great Western Railway (GWR) has advised those trying to get back to Wales to make other travel plans or stay overnight in London.
The potential disruption is the latest in a series of complaints about the travel situation throughout England and Wales during the first week of the World Cup.
Last Friday, thousands of fans were stranded in Twickenham after a man fell in front of a train, causing all services to be suspended.

There were also complaints from those travelling to Wales last weekend after people were turned away from trains due to overcrowding, despite having pre-paid for tickets and reserved seats.
There were also reports of three-hour waits for trains after Australia's game with Fiji at the Millennium Stadium on Wednesday.
Blatter is suspected of criminal mismanagement and misappropriation.

The statement released by the Swiss Attorney General said Blatter is being investigated "on suspicion of criminal mismanagement as well as – alternatively – on suspicion of misappropriation." The probe stems from a contract Blatter signed with former President of the Caribbean Football Union, Jack Warner, who has been charged by U.S. authorities with corruption.
"There is suspicion that, in the implementation of this agreement, [Sepp] Blatter also violated his fiduciary duties and acted against the interest of FIFA and/or FIFA Marketing & TV AG," according to the statement.
Blatter is also accused of making "a disloyal payment" of two million Swiss Francs to Michael Platini, President of Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) who was the current favorite to replace Blatter as FIFA president. Platini was also questioned on Friday morning.
On Friday morning Blatter was "interrogated" by the Swiss government, and his office "has been searched and data seized." FIFA headquarters were also raided by federal police.
A press conference scheduled at FIFA's headquarters in Zurich was canceled Friday.
FIFA released a statement saying it is cooperating with the Swiss Attorney General.
"We will continue this level of cooperation throughout the investigation," the statement reads. "Today, at the Home of FIFA, representatives from the Office of the Swiss Attorney General conducted interviews and gathered documents pursuant to its investigation. FIFA facilitated these interviews as part of our ongoing cooperation."
The organization refused to comment further.
In June 2015, amid investigations into top-ranking FIFA officials for corruption, Blatter announced his intent to resign as FIFA President. He had recently been re-elected, but said in June that he would allow an Executive Committee to determine his future at the helm of soccer's governing body.
