The Unwritten Rules Hit the Fan in Cleveland
Fresh off the heels of the Dodgers landing Tarik Skubal in that massive blockbuster trade, the rest of baseball decided it was time to put on a show of its own! Picture this: the Cleveland Guardians are absolutely rolling, cruising with a 5-0 lead while holding down a crisp perfect game bid. Then, out of nowhere, a Diamondbacks hitter decides to drop down a bunt to try and break up the perfection. OH BOY! Cue the absolute outrage! The unspoken unwritten rules of baseball were instantly shattered into a million pieces!
You could hear the collective gasp from the stadium crowd before the dugouts instantly emptied! Player after player came storming out onto the dirt like it was a WWE royal rumble! Shoving, jawing, and endless finger-pointing ensued right before the dark storm clouds rolled directly over Progressive Field.

Heavy downpours drenched the infield, forcing the umpires to call a sudden rain delay with tensions still boiling at maximum levels.
