After being called out, Perez stood at the plate and tried to converse with Wolcott.
"He tried to tell me, 'Salvy, you got to go,'" Perez said. "I said, 'I just want to know where that pitch was.' He said, 'It got right on the corner.' I said, 'I think it's a little down. I'm 6-[foot]-4, the pitch is close to my ankles, I think that was down.' 'OK, Salvy, second time, you got to go.' 'I just want to know.' 'OK, Salvy, you're gone.'
"I don't say one bad word to that guy."
