After Red Sox reliever Chris Martin recorded the final out in the seventh inning of the Boston Red Sox’s 2-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Fenway Park, benches cleared.
Among the irate participants were Quintin Berry, the first base coach of the Brewers and a former Red Sox player, as well as Martin. Although the exact events were unknown at the time, Martin provided some clarification following the game’s conclusion.
Although the exact events were unknown at the time, Martin provided some clarification following the game’s conclusion. According to Martin (via MassLive), “I probably said some things under my breath that were directed towards that inning.” “I’ll let you guys figure out what those items were. Momentum heat. Twice, they bunted. It wasn’t to my liking. Although it’s a component of the game, it still happens. I inform them.
“It seems like swing the bat in this league.” That is all. To be honest, it’s most likely a compliment. Perhaps they don’t believe they can succeed or whatever.
Three batters, including one on a sacrifice bunt, were ground out in that inning by Martin, who only allowed a bunt single. Boston did not do anything throughout the bottom of the inning, but in the eighth and ninth innings, they took the lead and won. In the event, Red Sox manager Alex Cora appeared to be on Martin’s side and placed some of the blame on Berry.
Cora remarked, “I believe Q (Berry) took offense at something Marty said.” “I’m not sure. The players are the players. As coaches, that is what we are supposed to avoid.
