I think it was Zobrist in the 6th who kept calling time and stepping out (and not even with Strasburg taking a long time, either). I was happy to see him get K’d.

He bounced the first throw (weakly) in the dirt — and received a standing O.

Yep. Other than the original time, I’ve never watched it all the way through. Avoid it it at least stop it/change the channel if I realize that’s the episode playing.

Still doesn’t top:

100% me...until, like adulthood lol

I prefer sending batters up blindfolded and letting them take their hacks for candy.
