Dodgers Pitcher Joe Kelly Told Carlos Correa ‘Nice Swing, Bitch’, ‘You Gotta Cheat To Hit’ After Striking Him Out Which Led To Benches Clearing
Things got heated between the Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly and Astros Carlos Correa on Tuesday night.
Kelly, who was on the Boston Red Sox team that got beat by the “cheating” Astros team in the 2017 Division Series, got things going in the sixth inning when he threw a 96-mph fastball over the head of Alex Bregman, then a curveball over the head of Carlos Correa a few batters later.

After the game, Kelly said that he didn’t throw at the Astros players’ heads on purpose when asked about the incident.
Joe Kelly said he did not throw at the Astros on purpose. "My accuracy isn’t the best,” he said, referencing the window he broke at his home.

Of course, Kelly was hailed a hero by the Internet for going at the much-hated Astros.
