With yesterday’s Phils-D’Backs game heading into extras, and tied, 5-5, there was a several-minute delay at the plate.
D-backs pinch hitter Josh Rojas had an exchange at the plate with home plate umpire Josh Valentine.
Reliever Craig Kimbrel was charged with a pitch clock violation which yes, meant even more time had gone by.
John Kruk reacted as Phillies manager Rob Thomson came out to talk to Valentine.
“What a joke! What a circus this game’s turned into!” Kruk said.
John Kruk has had enough of the new rules.
"Ah dear crap almighty!"
"What a joke! What a circus this game's turned into!"
"What the hell's Kimbrel supposed to do? This is a joke… keep making up rules until no one knows what's going on." ⚾️🎙️ pic.twitter.com/5dz5Sx1MDb
