Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Cal Quantrill had some choice words for Boston Red Sox catcher Reese McGuire, sparking both benches to clear on Wednesday.
Colorado was up 8-2 with two outs and a man on third in the top of the fourth inning. Red Sox catcher Reese McGuire worked his way to a full count before Rockies starting pitcher Cal Quantrill eventually forced him into an inning-ending flyout.
As McGuire made his obligatory trot down to first, Quantrill celebrated and immediately began trash talking the veteran. McGuire chirped back, and both benches cleared.No one was ejected, no punches were thrown and the game moved along. The genesis of the pseudo brawl warranted a closer look, though.During Spring Training 2020, a 24-year-old McGuire was found masturbating in a parking lot in Dunedin, Florida.
Quantrill, on the other hand, allowed six hits, two walks and two earned runs in 6.0 innings of work. He is now 7-7 with a 4.09 ERA, 1.338 WHIP and a 2.2 WAR through the first 21 starts of his age 29 season.SAM CONNON Sam Connon is a Staff Writer for Fastball on the Sports Illustrated/FanNation networks.
