I was very shocked as well that nobody got the gate after the bench clearing brawl. However, I can understand what Tim McClelland was thinking when nobody got ejected.
I think the message he was sending to Grady Little and Joe Torre after everything was broken up and people returned to their respective benches was "Nobody is going to get tossed for now, due to the nature of this series, however if anybody gets out of hand again, people will be ejected."
Mind you, I am NOT in any way quoting Tim McClelland, but I am merely speculating what Tim was thinking at the time he was talking to both managers.
