Willson Contreras was just a little fired up last night, wasn’t he? I don’t think Tyler Flowers is going to want to debate framing with the Cubs backstop in the future, though I think the beef between the two teams runs much deeper than a few borderline strike calls. After all, the benches emptied the first time the two teams met this season, and Braves starter Julio Teheran hit Kris Bryant with a pitch in the 1st inning, something that has become much too annoying to both the Cubs and their fans.
