j2stepzonyu🍃😶‍🌫️🥶 :

baseball umps are so sensitive ✌️😭

BorrowedHalo :

As someone who doesn’t watch baseball, I have no idea what just happened (even after reading the caption).

Aly 🏃‍♀️ :

Why was he standing in the box still if he wasn’t ready 💀💀

Alex :

I thought the pitcher was gonna get ejected 😂😭

miz_nikki_RN :

I mean did he not see the pitcher wind up for the pitch? he's looking right at him. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I like allimigators :

tbf, the dude did quick pitch it which is a balk

parks🧸 :

If you’re standing in the batters box, you’re BATTING 😂

str8blazen :

The batter could’ve very well stepped out of his box and decided not to!!

Sean B :

Can someone explain to me the problem, everyone looked ready to play why is the coach complaining

✮ ♫꩜ laila ꩜ ♫ ✮ :

He stood in the box, didn’t step out knowing time was called, that’s his fault. It’s not a balk, he stepped on after putting the chain in his pocket.

Mudding chevy :

Holy shit baseball has so many rules

beetee :

but he's in the box? I know it sucks, batter was being respectful to the pitcher, allowing him to put the chain away but he's still in the box.

⚙️🦒/🎢🌀 Jackrabbit Wings🪽 :

someone explain this to me like im five please

tannmeck :

Ricky joe Moore :

The batter had plenty of time to get ready

Real Deal :

Of all these baseball fans that are commenting “the batter should’ve stepped off”. So you’re telling me the pitcher could pull his phone out and scroll ticktock and it’d be the batters fault?

Rachel Marie :

Baseball is so boring they have to nitpick to create drama for entertainment.

Soma mom :

So confused but I wanna know and I just don’t understand

cantbefooledagain :

Bro is confuuused

Blazin :

This will probably get lost in the comments but sometimes when I’m home alone I like to go into the garden cover myself in dirt and pretend I’m a carrot.

jack :

it's like they want to be replaced by virtual umps

BILLIAM :

the ump looks familiar....

Ollie :

The batter should have stepped out of the box

jgcrop :

Umps are really doing absolutely everything in their power to convince us they’re useless and easily replaced by computers

Ikdaw077 :

so wtf is wrong with having a necklace or chain
