Jomboy just released a breakdown of last night's benches-clearing situation between the Phillies and Rays, caused when Tampa Bay reliever Edwin Uceta — seemingly just mad that he had the worst inning of his season — decided to intentionally hit Nick Castellanos.

What's great about this video is that it breaks down the entire inning, which was already chaotic long before the Phillies hung five runs on the Rays. You could watch 10,000 baseball games and you probably wouldn't see something like Bryson Stott leading off the inning by hitting a ball down the first base line that looks destined to be a double, only to have it hit the first base umpire and ricochet right to Yandy Díaz at first base for your run-of-the-mill three unassisted.
On Pattison's Kyle Scott did a frame-by-frame breakdown the the chaos that ensued following Castellanos getting hit that's worth your time as well.
