an ode to noone around here

confused times we live in

a pitcher deliberately tips his pitches and is angry when he misses
the umpire consoles the distressed batsman
the next pitcher lobs a 51mph pitch for strike
the manager is thrown out of the game before he left the dugout
the catcher is hit-by-pitch by both teams
the video replay disagreed with the call that agreed with the replay
17 walks in one game and the commissioner is writing a report to the training system
the bull pen door opened and noone came out.

what has the world come to?
