All started with the ump issuing a warning after the Royals pitcher Volquez threw near Donaldsons head. Then it happened twice afterwards, once with Volquez, but the ump didn't throw anyone out. Afterwards, Sanchez threw and hit a Royals batter at the legs and got thrown out of the game.
Ned Yost, Royals manager, then went on to tell the media that nothing the Royals did was intentional and that Aaron Sanchez's actions were intentional on a 2-0 count, even though one of the balls was straight down the middle of the plate. Bautista then tweeted he lost respect for Ned Yost.
After the game, the Volquez (who is also starting game one) called Donaldson "a crybaby" and Donaldson replied saying he didn't want Volquez out of the game and that he was "good hitting."
Then out of nowhere Yordano Ventura, who will also be pitching this series, went on a Twitter tirade about Bautista being a nobody, accusing him of stealing signs, and warning Bautista about the next time they meet. That's went Gregg Zaun did his Sunday roast on Ventura.
