It's never too early in a ballgame for a brawl.

The benches cleared at Turner Field early Thursday after San Diego Padres outfielder Matt Kemp was hit by a pitch dealt by Atlanta Braves pitcher Julio Teheran, just his 11th of the day.

Because it was the first inning.

Kemp was pretty upset (note how he threw the bat). But before things could escalate, an umpire showed off his blocking skills, and both went down.

Not today, Matthew.

Jordan Baker won't have it.
