Willson Contreras was apparently ready to throw down.

During a game on Saturday, a collision occurred at first base involving Cardinals infielder and Brewers third baseman Caleb Durbin in the third inning. This led to Milwaukee first baseman Rhys Hoskins expressing his frustration with Contreras from the home dugout.

After making an out with Durbin’s groundout, Contreras moved his right leg back, causing Durbin to collide with him and fall to the ground.

Contreras chirped right back at Hoskins after the play and seemed ready for a confrontation, though the situation was diffused.

Subsequently, Brewers pitcher Jose Quintana, formerly with the Mets, hit Contreras on the left arm in the fifth inning. Despite this, Contreras handled the situation professionally by picking up the ball and giving it to Quintana before going to first base.

Each team was issued a warning after the hit by pitch.

Contreras, whose brother William is the Brewers’ catcher, called out one of the Brewers players after the game, though he did not specify if this was directed at Hoskins.

“One of their players likes to talk from far away, but when he got to my face, he didn’t say s–t,” Contreras told reporters after Saturday’s 8-5 Cardinals win. “I was looking for more than that. He seems to be tough, but he’s a f—ing p—y. I’m not going to name names. He knows who he is.”

Asked later about Hoskins, Contreras said, “He didn’t say nothing to me. I was expecting for him to say something, but he was looking away already. Look at my face — just say it to my face, whatever you say from the dugout. He was looking away and said, ‘Get off the base.’ I said, ‘Push me,’ and he didn’t. So, it was good.”

Contreras said he had no issues with Quintana, a former Cubs teammate, and believes he did nothing wrong on the play that led to the collision with Durbin.

“I wasn’t trying to get him hurt,” Contreras said. “I mean, he was running inside the line. I stayed there. I have all the right to stand on the bag. I don’t think that’s anyone’s fault.”
