There was a lot of reaction on Twitter Monday night after Wilson Contreras went after Tyler Flowers and the Atlanta Braves.
But before making any judgment, it’s best to have all of the information available.
Certainly, during the game, it looked like Contreras was being a clown, and I still believe he was, but after hearing the postgame interviews I at least understand what set him off.

If you go back and watch the pitch before the Contreras home run he took exception with the strike call, which looked to be a little below the strike zone.
