Wednesday night Justin Verlander finished second in Cy Young voting, losing to his former teammate Rick Porcello.
Verlander's fiancee had some choice words for the voters who left Verlander off their ballots.
Thursday, Mark Feinsand, who is the New York Yankees beat writer for the New York Daily News, decided to tell Kate Upton to "pipe down."
"Hey, Kate Upton ... pipe down! There's no scandal in Justin Verlander not winning the AL Cy Young," Feinsand tweeted.

Verlander decided to defend his lady. "She wasn't upset about me losing. That's fine. But turning in a ballot a week b4 the season ends?!"

Feinsand backed down with that response.
I don't disagree with you. I turned my MVP ballot in the day after the season. But she didn't know that when she tweeted!

The Cy Young candidate then had a mic drop moment.
Also if you "don't disagree" where do you get off telling anyone to "pipe down"?!? https://t.co/X2ScjTRbqP

The Twitter drama was concluded when Feinsand decided to kiss up to the former MVP.

Someone noticed they may have made a little bit of a mistake and didn't think Verlander would see his article.
