1. Well no fucking shit. I went absolutely nits in my living room when I saw it happen. My wife thought I was making a big deal about nothing.

2. I mean what did Nestor think he was doing there anyway?

   I can hear Lou Brown telling him, “Don’t ever fuckin’ do it again”

3. This is the kinda shit we do in my wiffleball league. lol.

4. Glad they told him after the fact. Thanks, MLB.

5. What’s the rule that he broke?

6. he’s the annoying kid in the playground that would pull shit then ask ‘what i do’ with a shit-eating grin on his face when everyone called them out. then the teacher sides with them because they didn’t see or care what happened

7. That pitch was obviously illegal, but since you’re wearing pinstripes we’ll let it slide this time.
