Video comprehensively breaks down the Cubs – Brewers beef starring Willson Contreras

Things got heated.

We have ourselves some beef between the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs.

Cubs catcher Willson Contreras had been hit by Brewers pitches twice this season, and on Tuesday night, he got a pitch off his hand that sent him to first base.

When the pitcher who hit him, ace Brandon Woodruff, stepped up to the plate in the fifth inning, Cubs reliever Ryan Tepera threw a ball behind him, escalating the whole thing and leaving Woodruff saying how messed up that was (with a bunch of expletives, see below).

Contreras got his revenge in the eighth inning with a two-run homer that gave the Cubs the lead for good, and his reaction said it all.

Thanks to Jomboy — who breaks down incidents in baseball and outside of the sport — we have a breakdown, which includes everything I just wrote (WARNING: some NSFW language in here):

This is what happened last week:

And what Contreras said — he claimed he didn’t know about the throw-behind:
