They had enough players
Listening to the webcast...Peoria had reported their subs. They had pitchers playing two outfield slots and the announcer said that Dayton woul be doing the same. The pitcher was warming up then the umpires headed into the Dayton dugout. Maybe they had just gotten the phone call?
If the League President actually nixed the ejections, that is a horrible thing to do. Someone could defend him if the teams did not have enough players-but they DID!
Anyway, the delay AFTER the subs came onto the field and the umps went into the Dayton dugout was at least 20 minutes...I did not time it. From the Brawl until the resumption of play was over an hour.

PS Another tidbit was that the Cabrera slide into second was "spikes high". Of course that should be an ejection if it happened. But, this announcer did not say a WORD about the slide until after the brawl.
