Lance Lynn and Rangers umpire will have little to face confused confrontation

Texas Rangers pitcher Lance Lynn did not have a particularly good time in front of the dreaded Yankees on Wednesday night. For starters, Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres managed to ward off another couple of nuts. To make matters worse, the home plate umpire, Will Little, seemed particularly intent on replacing every ball that hindered the air near a bat by a new ball, slowing the evening more slowly than Lynn did. would have liked.

So Lynn had a good sigh and rolled her eyes. Things got more complicated at the end of the fifth inning when Yankees hitter Edwin Encarnación lifted a clean and safe ball to the left, where it was volleyed by Rangers player Willie Calhoun. Calhoun sent the ball back to the infield and she headed for Lynn, who was eager to face the next hitter and finish the round. Small, determined to play only with the coolest balls, he came off the pitch and insisted that Lynn send the used ball out of the game and use a new one. Lynn was more demonstrative than ever, so much so that Rangers Manager Chris Woodward felt the need to get involved.

Nothing that has happened here has been particularly explosive, but I predict that you will enjoy it all the same. Little gave a slightly absurd explanation for his replacement of the ball – the ball he had just replaced did not touch the ground and did not leave either the end of the stick – which seemed to satisfy Woodward, but provoked the toughest confrontation so far. Lynn, who shouted: "We do not have all the fucking night, we have a plane to take." What followed was a delightful misunderstanding between two men very far apart from one of them. 39; other in a noisy stage:

I know we play together! Hilariously, Little's misunderstanding at Lynn led to a misunderstanding of Lynn on Little:

My favorite part of the sequence is after all is over, when Little is still not sure what he's heard, but he has an expression on his face that indicates he knows something imrude just happened and he should be angry about it. Here is a very good montage of the whole scene, with useful legends:

Baseball has definitely reached the most irritable part of the regular season.
