The Brew Crew might be more aptly renamed the Brawl Crew.
The Brewers found themselves in yet another bench-clearing incident Sunday at Fenway Park when first base coach Quintin Berry appeared to spark a little dust-up with the Red Sox, though there appears to be a bit more to the story.
Red Sox pitcher Chris Martin admittedly did not take too kindly to the Brewers bunting twice in the top of the seventh of the 1-1 ballgame, and as he was walking back to the dugout, he mumbled his displeasure within earshot of Berry.
“I probably said some things under my breath that was kind of directed towards that inning, I’ll let ya’ll determine what those things were,” Martin said to reporters. “Heat of the moment. They bunted twice. … I didn’t like it. I know it’s part of the game, but it is what it is. I let them know.”
Honestly, it’s probably a compliment. Maybe they don’t think they can get a hit or whatever. They put a good swing on a pitch — I don’t know. I feel like in this league, swing the bat.”
