Why were Prince Fielder and Manny Parra fighting?

Question

Fielder was seen shoving Parra in the Brewers dugout.

Answer 1

Parra called him a fat@$$

Answer 2

This isn't the start of the demise for the Brewers at all. It's like Uek said after it happened: fights happen on every club, and sometimes the fights happen in clear view of the media. If anything, this will light a fire under the Crew; it wasn't until Big Z clocked Barrett in the dugout last year that the d**n cubbies made their run. The crew have pitching that can win a championship series and bats that are slowly but surely awakening. This thing is far from over.

...and I support Catie getting a thumbs down. haha

Answer 3

he wouldn't leggo of princess's eggo

Answer 4

Haha, I just asked the same question!  Sorry, I can't help.  But I heard that it might've been something where Parra said something to Fielder.  Don't know why he'd do that, considering Fielder could crush him. :)

Answer 5

Ned Yost said it want a big deal, that for 8 months of a year they are a family and sometimes you have little squabbles that dont mean anything. He has told them both not to talk about it, i guess

Answer 6

I'm wondering the same exact thing. Parra probably said something. Oh and just for the record, I actually know Manny Parra. He's my friends cousin. ;) I met him when he was in like double a or something.

Answer 7

hey if i were prince id pmsing everyday too if i was forced to eat veggie burgers.

Answer 8

I do not think anyone knows except Prince and Parra but if I were to speculate it was Parra's performance and of course the curse of the Brewer meltdown. This happens every time they are having a great season towards the end, ever since I was a kid. They just fall apart.

@ Catie: If this was the first time you have seen an  inner team fight, you do not watch much baseball. Almost the same exact thing happened with Manny Ramierez on the Sox not more then a month ago (I think), which was the start of his demise with that team.

Answer 9

cause manny parra didnt like fielders tity whities.

Answer 10

this could be the beginning of a meltdown for the brew crew, who at around this time last year couldn't handle the pressure of high expectations and couldn't get the job done when it mattered. The only guy playing motivated is sabathia and that's moreso for a new contract than a world series title. this is just speculation tho, and anything can still happen the last 2 months of the season.

Answer 11

The Brewers have to prove they are in it for real before they get any credit.  STL will likely sneak up and take it from under them.  

Answer 12

Because Parra kept giving up runs.

Answer 13

I read in an article that Parra wanted to go into the locker room after he was pulled from the game, and apparently it appeared Prince started talking to him and pointed at the field, as if to tell Parra he should stay in the dugout to watch the team continue playing (At least for the bottom of the inning). It looks like Parra wanted to leave anyways and started to go toward the clubhouse, and when Fielder saw that he got mad, and pushed him back on the bench(twice), as if he was "forcing" Parra to sit down and watch the rest of the game, and not ditch his teammates. That what it appears like from me and an article I read but I am not sure on this. Dont quote me on it.

  The team says it was no big deal and they dont want to talk about it.

I'm sure what happened will spill out though.
