Things Are Getting Chippy Out West As Hector Neris Struck Out Julio Rodriguez Then Proceeded To Charge At Him While Talking Shit Which Caused The Benches To Clear
Ohhhhh it's getting chippy!!! These teams flat out don't like each other and they are fighting for a Wild Card spot in the AL. It's a series filled with hate and I love it. I believe they had a benches clearing incident last year as well so you know they had to squeeze one more in there before the season ends as both these teams make a mad dash for the playoffs.
This seemed like a harmless at-bat with Hector Neris striking out Julio Rodriguez. Didn't throw 102 by him or bury a slider in the dirt. He just threw a breaking ball on the hands that got an awkward swing from J-Rod, which got Neris FIRED UP and had him jawing in Julio's face.
Julio didn't even notice it at first yet Neris kept chirping at him anyway.
These two teams hate each other and I need more of this. Give me the petty shit talking, I want it all. Especially with October coming. I do think it's a chump move by Neris. Julio was just minding his business, and then the second Julio turns around Neris starts heading towards the dugout. Go nose to nose with him if you're gonna start it, don't walk away.
