You may not have realized it if you just tuned into the game yesterday and missed the online chatter, but believe it or not the Red Sox and Angels engaged in a little tussle yesterday. The funny thing, though, is that it happened before the game, with the principal figure being not a player but Sox first base coach Jose Flores. While everyone involved has downplayed the affair, with Alex Cora insisting it was “just baseball talk,” the word is that the incident was sparked by the Angels’ belief that Flores was stealing signs.

Given the way they absolutely pounded Lucas Giolito yesterday, it looked it was the Angels who knew what pitches were coming.
