Tyler Flowers Spews Some Bullshit After Confrontation With Willson Contreras

Willson Contreras hit a solo home run in the second inning of Monday’s game against the Braves. Contreras immediately turned back to look at Tyler Flowers and once he reached home plate the war of words escalated.

Yet, everything started before the home run. Flowers framed a pitch out of the strike zone and blatantly pulled his glove up, fooling the home plate umpire into calling it a strike. Contreras objected to the call and said something to the umpire. Then, Flowers said something to Contreras.

Then, Contreras blasted his 16th home run of the season on the next pitch.

So, Contreras said something to the umpire about a bad call, Flowers butted into the conversation and Contreras was like, shut up.

Contreras was upset Flowers chimed in when he was speaking to umpire:

"Those pitches weren't even close to the strike zone. And he got mad, because I was talking to the umpire about that. He jumped into the conversation. So, I just told him to do his job and I'd do mine."

And here’s what Flowers said after the game.

"It was all very unnecessary in my opinion. The guy's a decent hitter, he doesn't need to complain about every call. He got plenty of calls for his guys too, so sometimes you need to pick your battles, and that's hopefully something he'll learn as he gets a little bit older."

Flowers said that he thought Joe Maddon was "first class" in how he handled things. Said he feels like Joe knows him well enough to know he's not an instigator.

As for Contreras, when asked if he thought the Cubs catcher might be a bit of an agitator, Flowers said, "Now you're catching on."

Can you be a bigger douchebag than Tyler Flowers? Getting mad because a catcher was working the umpires? Calling Willson Contreras, the best hitting catcher in MLB, a “decent hitter” and the audacity to imply that Contreras should learn a lesson by the great Tyler fucking Flowers?

Also, I always find it hilarious when players say they were offended because a pitcher was “shown up” when you know, they have teammates who “show up” opposing pitchers too.
