Benches cleared before Angels-Red Sox after heated argument during batting practice
Benches cleared before Angels-Red Sox after heated argument during batting practice
Over the course of an MLB season, it's not uncommon to see several bench-clearing incidents. Those just almost always take place during the games.
On Wednesday, we got to find out what a pregame bench-clearing incident looked like. And fittingly, it featured an iced matcha latte.
As the Angels and Red Sox were warming up during batting practice at Fenway Park, NESN cameras caught a heated argument between Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson and Red Sox first base coach Jose Flores. The two exchanged words for a few seconds and tossed some F-bombs back and forth.
When the altercation seemed to be winding down, Angels pitching coach Barry Enright joined in to stand up for his guy and got back into Flores' face.
Players from both teams convened to separate the two. It didn't come anywhere close to a brawl as players really just joined in out of curiosity. Like, what possibly could have happened before a game to set Anderson off like that?
One reporter speculated that it had to do with possible sign stealing from Monday night, but Anderson does typically use PitchCom.
The best part, though, was when Red Sox manager Alex Cora talked through the situation with Anderson while sipping on a matcha.
Absolute scenes.
