That is the right description of what occurred right here. No protest, no argument — the relievers knew they have been breaking the principles and ran off like youngsters with their arms within the cookie jar after they received barked at.
Personally, I feel we should always have extra of this in baseball — particularly in relation to two groups who’re functionally out of the postseason. Allow them to have some enjoyable, see how far they will stretch the principles. I’m not saying they need to go full Astros, as a result of no one ought to go full Astros — however just a bit informal nefariousness by no means harm anybody.
Why not attempt some stuff. Sneak out in entrance of the batter’s eye, disguise within the opposition dugout and shock the away group, change the ball with a stress ball. Okay, that final one is foolish however you get the concept.
