Reds and Giants benches clear, a breakdown

pitch, up and in, right where he wants

it. Let's throw that again. Gets the

swing on it. So, he's got him 0-2. He

says, "Time." "Time, that's two strikes.

I'd like to take a breather just in case

this next pitch is a strike, then I

don't get a chance to take a breather."

Steps back in the box and then he's

like, "Hey, he's not looking at me,

blue." And he says, "Oh, HE WAS LOOKING

RIGHT AT ME." He already called time. He

only gets "HE LOOKED RIGHT BACK at me."

What are you talking about? So, if

you're new to baseball, there's a rule

that the batter and the pitcher have to

have eye contact. It's kind of a safety

rule. Everyone is engaged in play, no

trickery, and basically the batter only

gets to call time out once. He already

did that. And he's saying that now this

batter is saying, "Hey, blue, he's not

He didn't look at me before he came into

his windup." And the pitcher is saying

he was looking like he say, "Hey, he was

looking right at me. That's why I went

into my windup. Don't just listen to

him." And the umpire is like, "Hey, I

don't know what to do, guys. Just be

[ __ ] honest about who's looking at

who." And Brewbaker in his postgame

said, like, "I like to use the clock to

my advantage. I like to game it." Well,

he doesn't like it when people do it

back to him. But mostly,

right now, he's mad at the umpire. He's

not really mad at the batter. He thinks

the umpire should not have done that. He

doesn't mind the batter doing it, and

we're going to move forward with the

game. And now he's like, "You [ __ ]

I'm holding this ball to 1 second. You

want to play games? I'll play games.

We're just going to stand here till this

clock ticks, ticks, ticks, ticks, three,

two, one. Bam." And then it's

[clears throat] a nice hit.

Nice piece of hitting by Steer. Another

good pitch, I think low and in, he

wanted that. And he gets to first base.

But there was a lot of jawing after the

ball was hit. So, the replay showed that

Spencer Steer, as Brewbaker was holding

him, he's muttering, "Fuck you, throw

the [ __ ] ball." And then uh he throws

the ball and he hits it. And then he

says, "THAT'S RIGHT, MOTHERFUCKER." And

yelling at him. So, you know, just riled

up in the moment. Brewbaker didn't even

notice or see this. He's mad at the

umpire. He's "Come on, dude."

"Why you got to break my rhythm?" He's

yelling at the umpire. Umpire comes out

to yell back at him. Catcher is like,

"Yo, yo, chill out. Chill out." Matt

Chapman, his third baseman, he's going

to come and he gives Matt Chapman a

little pat on the butt. He's like, "I'm

fine, dude. I'm just really mad at the

umpire right now." And he's like, "All

right. Okay, we're good." Like Spencer

Steer kind of motherfucked you around as

he was running the bases.

Fast forward to the next game. Starting

pitcher is up. Spencer Steer is up. And

at this point, the clip of him saying,

"Fuck you, throw the [ __ ] ball." has

gone viral, and I think they've seen it.

And while they weren't really upset with

him in the moment, I think they saw that

in between games and were like, "All

right, dude, you're about to wear one

cuz that's how baseball works. We're men

with weapons, and we throw them at you."

And he hits him. First pitch, pretty

intentional, just stares at him.

I mean, hard to say that's not

intentional at when he's looking like

that and fired up. And the whole Giants

team was talking about how like they

like the intensity. They want to ratchet

it up. And Steer takes his base, no real

qualms. Didn't hit him in the head, I

guess. He's like, "All right, I guess

that's what's going to happen here." And

no apology, no nothing, just a nice

fastball to the ribs. Oh, and a little

"Okay."

Now, later in the game, this doesn't

really have to do much with the bad

blood and the drama, but you guys should

see it. And maybe maybe it did, who

knows. Arraez puts one in play. Center

fielder chasing it down, chasing it

down. Did he catch it? No, but do they

say he did? Yes. Pitcher loves it. Thank

you. Thank you. Tip of the hat. Great

catch, man. And thanks for being honest

about it. And he's walking around. He's

like,

"Are they going to challenge? Don't show

the replay. Are they What's going to

They're out of challenges cuz that ball

was in his glove, and then bam,

out of his glove. And I don't even think

he really

tried to sell this. It just got called a

catch. He In this video, in this clip

right here, calling for it in the glove,

pops out. Like he does corral it right

away. He doesn't come up holding it in

his hand showing the umpire. And his

face right here is just like,

"So, then okay." And this face is like,

"What?

What?"

>> [laughter]

>> That's a great reaction. Later in the

eighth inning, they're throwing at Willy

Adames. He had a home run earlier in the

game, so it could be that. Also could be

you hit our player, and we don't think

it was deserved that you hit our player

because he did nothing to you. So, now

we're going to hit your player. And

first pitch was thrown at him.

Manager Matheny is like,

"What's going on? We got a fight? Okay."

And then the next pitch, again, right at

his leg. And you see Willy Adames throw

the bat and look at him. And you see

Phillips

walk towards him. So, then you see the

helmet come off. You know, a little bit

of a a standoff here. "I'm looking at

you. What are you going to do?" And

Phillips is like, "I'm going to keep

walking towards you if that's the play."

And then the umpire is like, "Hey, hey,

hey, hey.

Come on. Let's go." And Adames is just

going to look at him all cute like,

like, "Yeah, dude. Yeah." And Phillips

is like, "Yeah, dude. Yeah.

That's what it's about." And the dugouts

come out and they're like, "Yeah? We

Everyone We

on?" And Tito is like, and the bullpen

is like, "What? We Someone tell us like

give us a sign.

Uh no?

Yes?"

Ramos is fired up. He's still mad about

that fake catch. And then they say,

"You're out of here cuz that was on

purpose." And Phillips is like, "Good

call. Yeah. Don't disagree. No qualms."

Tito comes out and he's like, "What's

going on?" He's like, "Well, you guys

are throwing at them, and everyone's

throwing at each other, and that was

intentional." And Tito is like, "All

right, cool.

Um He's like, "Yeah, you know, it hurt.

You guys mad? You mad?" And it's another

just lower on the leg. Probably better

than the ribs. Although everything

hurts.

They just wear it, these baseball

players. Like that hurt so bad. All

right, so now,

one more strike and the game is over.

And Miller is in, and there's just been

high emotions, high drama. We want to

get the save here. We're fired up.

STRIKE THREE. COME ON.

SIT THE [ __ ] DOWN. "HEY, [ __ ]

WATCH YOUR [ __ ] MOUTH."

"YOU SHUT THE [ __ ] UP." "AND [ __ ] YOU,

[ __ ] GET THE [ __ ] OUT OF HERE. [ __ ]

ALL you guys."

"And [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. [ __ ]

you."

"Everyone. Yeah. Why? For what?

For what?

Huh?" And then after the game, Miller is

like, "I mean, I'm just fired up. I said

something that he doesn't want to hear,

so I understand it. But, you know,

adrenaline's pumping. I'm mad, fired

up." And I think the saga's over, but

we'll see next time they play each other

cuz this was the last game of the

series. So, we're on watch for the next

time these two teams meet, which is

August 24th.

Remind everyone.

Thank you very much for watching. This
