    The article contains a few informal fallacies and an example of inflammatory rhetoric. The author quotes Red Sox reliever Chris Martin's seemingly directed words towards the Brewers first base coach Quintin Berry, leading to a benches-clearing argument. This situation creates an inflammatory atmosphere without providing any evidence or logical reasoning for the accusation. Additionally, there are instances of appeals to authority when citing Tanner Houck's ERA and the Red Sox bullpen's performance. The article also presents a dichotomous depiction of the Brewers as either being able to ride 'serious mojo' into the upcoming series against the Cubs or failing due to their inability to cash in on scoring opportunities.
    • Red Sox reliever Chris Martin appeared to share some choice words with Brewers first base coach Quintin Berry, setting off an argument that cleared the benches and bullpens.
