Benches clear just before a rain delay at Progressive Field

These unwritten rules are ridiculous and taint no hitters and perfect games. It’s a part of the game. In that inning the DBacks of a chance to still win the game. If you take the bunt away in that situation the infield can play back making it tougher to get a hit through.

My god... Baseball players can be such little bitches over the "unwritten rules" sometimes. STFU and play the game, he's allowed to bunt, he's allowed to slide to the bag to try and break up a double play. No one is obligated to help your pitcher throw a perfect game. Earn it.

this is so soft, I’d understand if they tried it in the 8th or 9th with the game out of reach but it’s a 5 run game in the fifth. tawa is known to bunt for base hits too

With 12 outs to go down 5. @CleGuardians are…..

What the hell’s the problem with the bunt?

You cant hit the ball to the opposite field when breaking up no hitter. Lol

So these bitch as pussies @CleGuardians are butt hurt bc they just dont want to give up, give me a fkn break twats

Yea. That’s definitely a pussy way to try to break up a perfect game.

Attempting to reach with a bunt during an attempted perfect game is another example of breaching baseball protocol. MLB is loaded with such things.

Stupid nonsense. Baseballs too boring even for the players.

Dude only one with heart on that coaching staff lol

Benches clear bc the guardians are pussies

Well play the bunt and get the guy out then. It’s all part of the game.

Give me a break! Its up to each team to try & win the game! Its the 6th inning, you want to get your guy to 2nd & try to get things going. Too f'ing bad! If it was 9th inning 5-0 & 0 hits i would then say ok why bother! Taking exception lol! Get over it! Its their job to stop you

Why is the pitcher trying to throw a perfect game when the DBacks already won the series???

Rocchio almost drilling Arizona legend Todd Walsh is somehow my biggest issue with this whole mess that literally didn’t matter

It was the sixth inning. Even if it was the eighth or ninth inning it’s still baseball. If a cheap perfect game meant so much to the pitcher his the problem.

They should be worried about the white Sox but sure get mad when a team dosent want to get no hit

The beaches clearing was due to certain coaches saying inappropriate things to players. Vogt went to Lovullo to hash it out and everything went sideways (according to his post game conference).

MLB players have gotten soft.

Looks like a total 💩 show.

He got a single right after. What’s wrong with him? Doesn’t he know that the pitcher had a perfect game going? How dare he get a single.

Cleveland is soft.
