You gonna do anything about this, MLB?

If that’s not the face of someone who is slowly realizing that they may have slightly overreacted

I don’t know what is. But before we get into it, please take a second to view Rosenberg ejecting Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto yesterday in the fourth inning of a Spring Training game against the Blue Jays. Observe

I saw this video for the first time yesterday, and while I shook my head in disgust and mumbled “Robo Umps Now” under my breath

as I am wont to do, I hadn’t planned on commenting much on it beyond that.

But then I stewed about it all night — even picking up my phone around 2 a.m. to watch it again.
