“You get in the box and ain’t ready to hit, you start with your hand up. I’m loving the fire from the pitcher. Lot of cry babies in the comments,” one fan added.
“Dude that kid was standing in the box for a day and a half. And then midway through the windup puts his hand up. Let me just call time after I already called time. Solid. Strike 3,” another fan added.
