Insane brawl breaks out during Yankees-Angels and even Cody Bellinger was watching

The Yankees might have split their four-game set with the Angels, but they were two miracles away from a sound-the-alarm sweep at the Stadium. They dropped the finale on Thursday afternoon as everybody watched another loss that felt far worse than it should have.

That was captured by the behavior in the stands as well, apparently. A massive brawl was caught on video as fans were throwing haymakers and falling down the concrete steps on the second deck. The violence cannot be condoned, but that 11-4 loss stemming from a Max Fried/bullpen spiral surely has many people feeling restless.

Fried had the lead going into the sixth inning and quickly unraveled, with former Yankees top prospect Oswald Peraza delivering the dagger on his afternoon. The game-tying RBI double forced Aaron Boone out of the dugout to call on the bullpen.

Fernando Cruz entered the game and promptly allowed three more runs. The Yankees would cut the deficit to two runs with a Ben Rice homer, but then Mike Trout blasted his fifth bomb of the series (against Angel Chivilli, in case you were wondering) before the Angels broke it open with a Jo Adell grand slam off Ryan Yarbrough.

These folks weren't the only ones close to punching something, that's for sure. It might be early, but Yankees fans have very little to be excited about.

Brawl at Yankee Stadium had Cody Bellinger entertained during loss to Angels

The brawl was so disruptive that it caught the eye of Cody Bellinger in left field, who was seen looking up at the commotion in between pitches. Turns out he was sick of watching homers flying 15 rows back over his head.

It's a shame this occurred only a few weeks into the year, especially on such a nice day in the Bronx, but it's very emblematic of what's happening with the Yankees at the moment, regardless of how early it is.

The roster is a disorganized mess. The team is shuttling relievers to and from Scranton in April. Aaron Boone is benching his best hitter in the name of favoring the righty-lefty matchups. The offense has yet to find a semblance of a consistent rhythm. The bullpen is being taxed, the rotation isn't doing enough, and two of the team's bench players are a combined 2-for-33.

It's not quite panic/meltdown mode yet, but some fans had a little afternoon day drink on Thursday that suggested otherwise.
