There are moments in sports when players immediately regret their decisions. While Nyjer Morgan may not actually regret rushing the mound in this clip, maybe he should have.

After a wild pitch flies behind Morgan, he did not hesitate rush the mound. While there are many videos to watch where players rush the mound and a brawl breaks out, we rarely see someone sprint there like Morgan decided to do.

Morgan got one swing in before he was absolutely de-cleated by another Florida Marlins teammate. He quickly found himself at the bottom of the pile, getting the absolute tar beaten out of him. Morgan emerged later on with his uniform ripped open. He was met with boos, which he embraced, acting like he won the fight.

In the previous matchup between the Marlins and Washington Nationals, Morgan intentionally rammed into the catcher at home, injuring the player. This is why he was thrown at during this game, and he was clearly aware of it, shown by how quick he acted to run at the pitcher.
