It was an eventful 4th inning for Boston Red Sox reliever Alfredo Aceves on Saturday night against the Oakland A’s.

Let’s see, he first dropped a pop up in foul territory that he had no business being a part of. Then he got into a shouting match with the home plate umpire after he picked up a foul ball and walked back to the mound with it.

Then after the inning was after, he exchanged some words with second baseman Dustin Pedroia, most likely about the pickoff throws to second during the inning. They were separated by the coaches and then after a pat on his ass by skipper Bobby Valentine, Aceves had some words for him too.
