Dodgers Spring Training Highlights: Bellinger, Graterol, Angry Kersh, and More!
In a busy week of games, Dodgers pitching stole most of the headlines. David Price made his debut in blue, and Clayton Kershaw dropped some vintage uncle Charlies.

Along the way, Reds pitcher stole the show as he slighted the Astros while signing to Matt Beaty what pitches were coming.

Beautiful sight.
Also in that game, there were some fireworks as Kersh and Giants 3B coach Ron Wotus exchanged some words walking off the field.

The chirping came after an exchange of hit by pitches — one of which clipped Justin Turner on the hand. Thankfully, he turned out fine.
