Contreras, who has been hit by the team 24 times over his major-league career, sent a message to the Brewers\u2019 organization following yet another hit-by-pitch during Monday\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/mlb\/milwaukee-brewers-boston-red-sox-460406102\/\" data-i13n=\"cpos:1;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:8-6 win by Milwaukee;cpos:1;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;8-6 win by Milwaukee&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\" target=\"_blank\">8-6 win by Milwaukee<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After the contest, Contreras said the next time he\u2019s hit by a Brewers pitcher, he\u2019s going to \u201ctake one of them out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the comment could get Contreras in trouble with the league, the stats do seem to back up Contreras\u2019 frustration. His 24 hit-by-pitches against Milwaukee are 10 more than Contreras has against any other MLB team, per ESPN. On top of that, the Brewers\u2019 starter Monday, Brandon Woodruff, has hit Contreras six times over their careers.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Contreras \u2014 who previously played in the National League Central with both the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals \u2014 said he was tired of hearing Brewers pitchers say, \u201cI&#8217;m not trying to hit you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brewers players, meanwhile, tried to put the blame on Contreras, with Christian Yelich saying they\u2019ve \u201cseen that skit for the last 10 years.\u201d Woodruff echoed that sentiment, saying he\u2019s been through this multiple years with Contreras, whom Woodruff believes is \u201ctrying to get his side fired up\u201d with his reactions to being hit.<\/p>\n<p>To make things slightly more awkward, Contreras\u2019 brother, William, is the Brewers\u2019 catcher. After Willson was hit by Woodruff, William walked down the first-base line with Willson, trying to calm him down and make sure he didn\u2019t go after Woodruff.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>William didn\u2019t necessarily put the blame on his brother, but said, \u201cHe plays like that,\u201d when asked about the situation after the game.<\/p>\n<p>If the situation is going to escalate, it\u2019s going to be in the next couple days. The Red Sox and Brewers play Tuesday and Wednesday and then don\u2019t meet again during the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>Contreras will undoubtedly be eager to see how the Brewers treat his threat the next two games. Things could get ugly between both sides if he\u2019s hit again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras is sick of being hit by the Milwaukee Brewers.
