I think you need to put quotes around the word "fight". Most of the time it's just pushing, shoving, and talking. MLB can pretty much put a stop these bench clearing incidents if they wanted to. Other sports have, even hockey which used to be known for them.
After a HBP, let the batter and pitcher go at it if they want, and be done with it. When the benches clear, the only thing that comes from it is injuries, and its usually players who weren't originally involved.
Although, nothing is more comical than the bullpens sprinting in side-by-side, then engaging once they reach the infield...
There was one player who said that he had arranged to have a "designated hugger" on each opposing team, so if a brawl ever broke out, they would find each other and grapple to make it look like they were backing up their teammates.

The Dodgers are falling like flies.
Van Slyke and Puig replaced two outfielders on the DL, Crawford and Kemp. Now Puig and Van Slyke are also injured.

I remember when Howe had that incident when the opposing manager (Dusty Baker perhaps?) kept rubbing his nose, mocking Howe's demons with cocaine addiction. Tommy Lasorda was not amused.
Baker was a teammate of Howe on the Dodgers at the time. He wasn't an opposing manager.

According to ESPN.com, in tonight's Red Sox/Devil Rays game, Yunel "Escobar (was) out at second on runner's fielder's choice." I'd never heard of a "runner's fielder's choice" before. But then, I'd never heard of Yunel Escobar, either. Or anyone named Yunel, for that matter, other than Robert Shields's mime partner. But anyway...
I did a google search for "runner's fielder's choice" and the pages most often accessed asked, "What in hell is a runner's fielder's choice?", and the answer seems to be that when a runner chooses to advance in an attempt that does not constitute a stolen base and fails, then he is out on a runner's fielder's choice. It is the scoring when a defensive player fumbles something, like with a misthrown pitch or return throw to the pitcher and the runner thinks he can make it to the next base but fails to safely do so. A pitch not caught by the catcher will not become a wild pitch or passed ball unless and until it results in favorable runner movement.

I think I believe Kennedy hit 2 guys twice. Kennedy should have been thrown out. Look, Greinke hits somebody and then there's retaliation and thats it. And your right, no need to get hit in the head. Btw, what's Kennedy doing trying to intentionally hit the pitcher??
As far as the D-Backs hating the Dodgers, to me, I just had a feeling that the Dodgers have been so fed up and disgusted and angry this year that I think it finally blew over.
MLB disciplines D-backs, Dodgers for fracas

The Yankees have hit .197 over their last seven games, with just one home run. That is their lowest batting average over any seven game stretch in 23 years. And now, Youkilis is back on the DL. Hey! Wait a minute! Having Youkilis back on the DL will bring up ther team batting average.
