Wake Up With Adrian Beltre Getting Tossed For Moving The On-Deck Circle

I have gone on record a few times saying Adrian Beltre is the most underrated baseball player of our time. Future Hall Of Famer no doubt. But maybe my favorite thing he ever did didn't involve a home run from his knee. He got ejected from a game in which the Rangers were losing 18-6. It wasn't for shit talking, it wasn't for fighting, it was for moving a big piece of plastic. Beltre would warm up in a space that wasn't the designated "on-deck" spot. This umpire had a problem with it and asked him to stand in the on-deck circle. Sure, no problem. Adrian simply pulled the circle over to where he was standing, pretty far from its original spot. Again, the umpire did not like this and promptly tossed him out.
No one enjoyed that move more than this guy.

The fact that he was tossed for this is just a. joke. Ump show strikes again.
