RUMOR: Astros Coach Insulted Ramon Laureano’s Mom To Spark Brawl (VIDEO)

Rule number 1, if you talk about someone’s mom, fully expect to get into a fight.

Apparently, that was the spark that set off the fiery benches-clearing brawl between the A’s and Houston Astros on Sunday at the Coliseum.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, A’s center fielder Ramon Laureano was hit by a pitch from Astros reliever Humberto Castellanos and things got crazy as cameras caught him jawing with a coach in the dugout.

When Laureano reached first base, he could be seen screaming at Houston hitting coach Alex Cintron.

According to former Astros beat writer Jose de Jesus Ortiz, it appears his mother was brought up just before he went charging over there.

We’ll know more soon, but a person I respect has been told that the A’s Ramón Laureano charged toward Alex Cintron because Cintron mentioned Laureano’s mother in a bad way.
In Latino culture, those are fighting words. #Astros #Athletics

Astros manager Dusty Baker was asked after the game if Cintron made a remark to Laureano about his mother, and Baker said he wasn’t sure.

Dusty Baker says he doesn’t know if Alex Cintron mentioned Ramón Laureano’s mother while yelling at him before Laureano charged him. But Baker says he learned the hard way how different it is when you mention a Latino’s mother. He vowed to check on the matter. pic.twitter.com/4tHvoSkIWZ

With no fans on the field and mics everywhere, it shouldn’t be hard to find the audio of that moment.
