href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=5959">Brian Bruney</a> is now.</p><p>Rodriguez shouted at the <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?team=nyy">New York Yankees</a> reliever during batting practice Sunday and the two were separated by teammates one day after they exchanged pointed jabs through the media.</p><p>Bruney called Rodriguez's exuberant celebrations on the mound a "tired act," and K-Rod said he didn't know who the injured right-hander was before advising him to "keep his mouth shut."</p><inline1><inline2><p>"To me, it's incredible that this is a big story," Bruney said after the Yankees' 15-0 victory over the Mets. "They're a great team and he's a great player. I'm sure he's not concerned about what I think. He just had some things to say."</p><p>K-Rod first refused to say anything when approached after Sunday's game, then relented.</p><p>"It's over. Turn the page. That's it." he said.</p><p>In video footage on the YES Network, an angry Rodriguez could be seen pointing at Bruney from a few feet away before Yankees reliever <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=28498">Jose Veras</a> stepped between them in left field.</p><p>Bruney held his ground and appeared to say little, if anything. Mets pitcher <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=28507">Mike Pelfrey</a> got in front of Rodriguez and escorted him away.</p><p>"I was probably 10 feet away and I just saw K-Rod pointing and raising his voice," Pelfrey said, "and I just came over and grabbed him and I said 'C'mon, lets go in.' He was upset I guess."</p><p>Mets infielder <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=3862">Alex Cora</a> said at least Rodriguez went to Bruney directly, then poked fun at the situation when asked if it was over.</p><p>"I don't know. Is Bruney going to hit against Frankie, or Frankie's going to hit? I mean they're two relievers. What are they going to do?" he said with a chuckle.</p><p>Bruney has pitched only once for New York since April 21 because of a strained elbow. He tossed a perfect inning Saturday in a rehab appearance for Double-A Trenton.</p><p>Afterward, he was asked about the Yankees' wild win over the Mets on Friday night, when second baseman <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=3515">Luis Castillo</a> dropped <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=3115">Alex Rodriguez</a>'s two-out popup in the ninth inning. The error allowed two runs to score, giving the Yankees a 9-8 victory and handing K-Rod his first blown save in 17 chances this season.</p><p>"Unbelievable. I've never seen anything like that. I have, but in high school," Bruney said. "It couldn't happen to a better guy on the mound, either. He's got a tired act."</p><p>After converting a save, Francisco Rodriguez often pounds his chest and points to the sky while letting out a roar.</p><p>"I just don't like watching the guy pitch," Bruney said. "I think it's embarrassing."</p><div class="ad-300"><div class="ad-center"><div class="ad-slot ad-slot-incontent2 ad-wrapper" data-slot-type="incontent2" data-slot-kvps="pos=incontent2" data-independent="true"></div></div></div><p>Bruney's teammate, <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=28847">Joba Chamberlain</a>, also has irritated opponents with his loud screams and animated fist pumps after inning-ending strikeouts. Baltimore slugger <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=4479">Aubrey Huff</a> even mocked Chamberlain this season with a pair of emphatic fist pumps after hitting a home run off the right-hander.</p><p>Francisco Rodriguez, who set a major league record with 62 saves last year for the <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?team=laa">Los Angeles Angels</a>, didn't take kindly to Bruney's comments.</p><p>"He better keep his mouth shut and do his job and not worry about somebody else," he said after closing out the Mets' 6-2 win Saturday. "If it came out from somebody big, I might pay attention to it. But somebody like that, it doesn't bother me."</p><p>Bruney is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in 10 appearances this season. He has 13 strikeouts and two walks in nine innings.</p><p>"You know what? More importantly for me, I'm coming off the DL on Tuesday," Bruney said Sunday. "I probably shouldn't have said what I said. I made that mistake and I've learned from it."</p> </div><footer class="article-footer" data-behavior="footer_region"><div class="sponsored-links"><div class="sponsored-headlines"><div class="taboola-container" data-network="espn-network" data-src="https://www.espn.com/mlb/news/story?id=4257812" data-type="article" data-mode="thumbnails-3x1-a" data-placement="story" data-target-type="mix"></div></div></div> <script type='text/javascript'> (function () { var footerLinks, needConsent; try { footerLinks = JSON.parse('[{"copyright":"\u00a9 ESPN Enterprises, Inc.
