The 24th time

Meanwhile there was bad blood in Boston on Monday. Willson Contreras slid hard into David Hamilton at second base after getting hit by Brandon Woodruff. And after the game, he told reporters that the next time a Brewer hits him, he's going to “take someone out.” 

Something of a pattern: Asked to comment after the game, Christian Yelich dismissed Contreras’s reaction with “I mean, we've seen that skit for the last 10 years.” And, yeah, it’s a thing. In 120 career games against the Brewers, Willson Contreras has been hit by a pitch 24 times. Brandon Woodruff alone has hit him six times. It’s fair to say Contreras crowds the plate, and the ball on Monday barely hit him and did not look intentional. But playing eight years in the NL Central Contreras was hit 23 times from one franchise and five from a single pitcher. And then, after getting out of the line of fire and moving to the AL, in his first interleague game against Milwaukee that same pitcher made it 24 and six.

Brotherly love: A complicating detail is that William Contreras — Willson's younger brother — is the star catcher for the Brewers. He’s been behind the plate since 2022, and thus many of the times Milwaukee's pitching staff has hit Willson Contreras, his brother has been the one calling and catching the pitch.
