Sergio Romo got everyone all fired up this week when he started needless drama with Nationals outfielder Michael A. Taylor. The story is well known by now: Taylor stole a base off Romo in a game the Nationals were winning big earlier this month, and the Rays reliever finally got his “revenge” Tuesday by striking him out and chirping at him (see above) — behavior you’d expect from a baseball goon like Hunter Strickland.
Sadly the beef between Romo and the Nationals didn’t end there, as Ray Knight, broadcaster for the Nationals, took to Twitter to fan the flames a bit by calling Romo a “bush league act” who is “all mouth no action.” Twitter jabs between the two ensued:
What a bush league act Romo is. Michael A. Taylor is one of the finest young men I have known in this game. He Could not be more humble or respectful. Romo has always been all mouth no action. One day he’s going to Pop Off to the wrong guy.

Hey Ray u obviously do not know me either! Thank u for ur opinion tho as I have mowed thru ignorant opinions like urs my whole life! All good! God bless u always!

Thank u! I will take ur advice into consideration no doubt! At least I didnt cuss at him nor did anyone get hit… What’s wrong with letting someone know the first chance I got that something I didn’t like was done to my team? #checkurfacts #uknewtheoldrulesbeforemeboss

I’m not sure u do… If u did u wouldn’t have judged me inappropriately like u have… #uknewtheoldrulesbeforemeboss and again it was the first chance I got to let him know so I did… was I showing off? No I literally said ‘steal another bag now!’ Over and over… Haha

What did we ultimately learn here? Romo didn’t curse out Taylor and seems fairly proud that he got him back for that pointless stolen base.
Oh, and he sorta threatened former Giants teammate Kevin Frandsen, who was also critical of Romo’s behavior:
Haha never heard u talk about me like that before! Pretty funny palsy! #stayinurlane haha #tagmenexttimeuwanttoopenurmouth
