![Rockies pitcher]()
Things got heated - and personal - earlier today during a game between the Boston Red Sox and the Colorado Rockies.
The final score of the game, which saw the Rockies win in commanding fashion 2o runs to 7, did not show the all-out-brawl that took place during the fourth inning. As Colorado was already well on their way to winning, leading 8-2, a third out in the top of the fourth led Rockies pitcher Cal Quantrill to really let Red Sox catcher Reese McGuire know how he felt about him.
As the right-handed pitcher walked to his dugout, fired up from just ending the top of the inning on a fly out, he looked right at McGuire and got very specific with his trash talk. There's no recorded audio, but the lip reading of Quantrill in the now viral video appears to go something like:
"You j***ed off in a f**king parking lot, you dumb f**k!"

Now, who is to say whether or not Quantrill started the verbal back-and-forth? Maybe Reese McGuire said something as he ran to first base that caused the Rockies pitcher to counter with that NSFW line?
All we do know is that whatever Quantrill yelled triggered an all-out, benches-clearing brawl between the two MLB teams. The league surely wasn't happy to see a fight between the Rockies and the Red Sox, but everyone in attendance at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado absolutely loved it.

In case you were wondering why Quantrill yelled that expletive-riddled line at McGuire, the catcher faced indecent exposure charges in Florida during his playing days with the Toronto Bluejays. Police were called to a shopping center, where Reese McGuire was allegedly in his car... you know what he was doing. He didn't fight the allegations and fully cooperated with the police.

That's some A+ trash talking from Quantrill. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
