Cincinnati Reds first baseman Sal Stewart got into a shouting match with Giants relief pitcher Erik Miller after the final out April 16.
The reaction from Reds.TV analyst and National Baseball Hall of Famer Barry Larkin was that he definitely didn't mind it.
"I don't think this is a terrible thing at all for this Reds ballclub," Larkin said during the broadcast. "I feel like that kind of fire and that kind of passion should run through the veins of every single player that's in uniform. I love it. Of course, we don't want guys getting hurt. Obviously throwing at guys - can't condone that. But the fire and the passion? The fight? Let's have all of it. Bring the smoke."
Larkin remarked earlier in the broadcast that he was stunned the Giants didn't challenge an eighth-inning catch by Reds outfielder TJ Friedl that appeared to pop out of Friedl's glove as he landed.
