It wasn’t just the fact that two pitches from Los Angles Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly nearly hit a pair of Houston Astros hitters on Tuesday night that led to benches clearing.

Apparently, some words were uttered that escalated the whole thing.

Kelly threw a pitch that looked like it was deliberately aimed at Alex Bregman, and then another ball nearly nailed Carlos Correa. The reliever and Correa exchanged words and benches cleared, although there were no fisticuffs.

So what was said that escalated the whole situation that could have been some retribution for the Astros cheating scandal?

Per Astros manager Dusty Baker, “What really enraged everybody was what he told Carlos when he struck him out: ‘Nice swing (expletive)!'”
