That’s his problem coach not mine.

He wanted to give the announcers time to make announcements.

Order for a beanball coming up at his next at-bat (gotta be an unwritten rule like there is for bat flips)

That’s what I call the famous show ball.

And now,Steve Hamilton will throw his famous “Folly Floater”.

An out is an out is an out. Doesn’t matter if it was at home plate, it’s still an out.

Now, about other base runners advancing, well …

I would love to see what happens to Ruiz the next time he steps up to the plate…

Managers don’t appreciate tactical theatrics

Reminds me how the 1962 Mets gave up a grand slam single.

If that happened more often, baseball would probably be more interesting.

Wait a minute. You mean a someone hit the ball and without preening or pounding their chest, actually tried to take an extra base……..

As far as I can see, Ruiz is doing what MLB wants. He turned a run-of-the-mill out at first into an exciting play by enticing the batter to stretch out the hit.
