The tensions were high when the banks cleared for the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle sailors on Saturday night.
The reason was that the starter of the Tiles, José Berrios, faced the sailors, Cal Raleight, who the former believed that he was telling his teammates what launches they came while he was at the base.
Berrios and Raleight were passing when an entry came to an end, and the pitcher was clearly saying his piece to the receiver, which led both of them to be held by their teammates.

The banks cleared as they continued astonishing from one place to another, but nothing physical of the altercation never emerged.
After the game, Berrios explained why he felt he had to tell Raleight.

“I don’t react that very often,” Berrios said. “I am a quiet and relaxed guy. But when some people try to fight us in the field, I don’t respect that. I don’t like that.”
Meanwhile, Raleigh denied having transmitted releases to his teammates.
“I would like my pitchers to do the same,” Raleight said when asked about Berrios’ words. “If someone thought they were giving tip, I would like them to say something. How it is. Competitive baseball game. People are in the heart of that.”

While Berrios was not happy, its manager knows that stealing signs, legally, is totally “fair game.”
“The teams do. We understand it,” said John Schneider. “In the heat of the moment, they light you a little. I did not think that the banks should clear. There was nothing crazy. But I like it when our boys defend themselves.”
The sailors ended up defeating the tiles, 8-4. Raleight was 2 per 3 with two ranked races, a scored race and three walks.
