Tempers flared in Thursday night's matchup between the Portland Sea Dogs and the Binghamton Rumble Ponies.

Reed and Rumble Ponies third baseman Brett Baty were ejected from the game. Rentería, as seen in the video above, was roughed up pretty significantly in the fracas. It should go without saying, but the 6-foot-1, 250-pound Reed probably isn't the guy you want to be mouthing off to after drilling him with a fastball.
