Padres ace Dylan Cease scoffs at Andy Pages’ over-the-top reaction to HBP

San Diego Padres

The ‘rivalry’ between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres added another chapter Monday night when tempers flared following a 98 mph fastball from Dylan Cease that hit Dodgers’ outfielder Andy Pages on the left arm. After getting plunked, Pages glared at Cease, exchanged words, and started yelling from the batter’s box, clearly irritated. Pages, who’s having a breakout season with a .282 average, 13 home runs, and an .806 OPS, later admitted he may have overreacted — but didn’t back down from believing the pitch was intentional. “I probably shouldn’t have reacted like that, but he doesn’t miss with a slider on the corner, yet he can miss with a fastball?” Pages said in Spanish, pointing to Cease’s precision up to that point.
