Anybody watching that can explain why Rocco got ejected??

My guess is that it worked so good yesterday, he got thrown again.  Superstitious.

Ah, thanks for the clarification!

Rocco is such a freaking hothead redass

[Nine of twelve]

Rocco ejected for arguing a balk non-call.

It's good that they're finally being encouraged to participate in as many sports as possible.

Every Thanksgiving I wish that we could cross an octopus with a Turkey. 

Everyone gets a drumstick that way.

Don't fix something that isn't broken.

Good point!  And you could make another gravy option from the ink!

No, really, what's up with Rocco?

Its like he has figured out that the team better start playing with some pep and fire or hes gone.

Apparently the dugout was complaining about the Day-twah starter not coming to a stop before delivering a pitch with runners on. A balk.

The HP ump says "that's enough Rocco" (you could hear it) ... and of course it WASN'T enough. He got tossed about 3 seconds later

Can Rocco watch on his cell phone?

The game is probably blacked out.

Bud Light or what have you in hand

If he has T-Mobile you get MLB.TV free.

It’s a bold move Smalls, let’s see if Rocco can get thrown out of all the remaining games…

The bench (including Baldelli) was chirping about Wentz' set, saying it was a balk move. The HP ump had enough and told Baldelli so, and someone (probably Rocco) said something and the HP ump ejected the manager.

Only if he pays for the app.

That's the making of a decent Yellowstone Script.

Not all... Just more. 

Actually it would be better if there were 8 legged chickens running around.

No, the app comes free with the spreadsheet license! 🙂

If he's watching on his cell phone, he might be better able to pick up signs than if on 2nd base.

Difficult for me to imagine Rocco as a Bud Light drinker.

He drains the bottle/can thingy and pours in Pinot Noir when no one is watching

Which is as much of a no-no as arguing balls and strikes.
