Cal Quantrill NSFW call out of Reese McGuire prompts Red Sox-Rockies bench-clearing fight

Rockies pitcher Cal Quantrill had a somewhat creative way to trash talk his opponent Wednesday afternoon against the Red Sox. The Colorado player called out Blue Jays catcher Reese McGuire in a benches-clearing incident.

Quantrill appeared to say “you jacked off in a f***ing parking lot you dumb f**k” in the direction of McGuire. That caused an altercation between the two that led to the benches clearing.

It appeared that Quantrill was referencing an earlier incident in which McGuire was charged with indecent exposure at the mall.

Quantrill was happy to participate in the debate with McGuire, and others got in their points, notably the Red Sox’s Jarren Duran — who took up for his teammate with a two-out homer in the top of the fifth, to cut Colorado’s lead to 13-3.

Quantrill formerly pitched in the American League with the Guardians. Red Sox manager Alex Cora noted that Quantrill and his team have a quarrelsome history — with a stare-down with Rafael Devers after a strikeout in Cleveland 2021 and a Devers homer in Cleveland in ’22 serving as examples.

The Rockies would go on to win the contest 20-7. They improved to 38-65 on the year and will next take on the San Francisco Giants on Friday.
