Jesse Winker trades trash talk with Brewers mid-play
Jesse Winker got into it with some Milwaukee Brewers players mid-play during Game 1 of the Wild Card Series playoff game between his New York Mets and the Brewers at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisc. on Tuesday.
Winker knocked in two runs with a big triple in the top of the second inning Tuesday to tie the game at two. The Mets designated hitter was later shown by ESPN barking at Brewers shortstop Willy Adames from third base. It turns out that Winker had begun chirping at the Brewers while on his way to second base after rounding first.
There’s nothing more Jesse Winker than talking trash while actively turning 3 mid play and I love it. #LGM pic.twitter.com/JmvOvf3TdG

Winker has long been known as a trash-talker, so it’s no surprise that he was in the middle of things with Milwaukee.
The 31-year-old outfielder spent 61 games with Milaukee last season but batted just .199 for them. Getting a big hit in the playoffs against his former team probably felt great.
