Here’s Todd Frazier not in uniform in a dugout during an MLB Game

So clearly LOTS of players and coaches are not in uniform this season.  I have to imagine MLB put out some sort of rule modification, otherwise Team Torre is being grossly negligent when it comes to rules enforcement.

The official 2018 MLB Rulebook says..

Note “team members in uniform”

And Joe, this is your job….by rule…

This is not my rule, it’s the official 2018 MLB Rules as published on line.

And from the CBA which Mr. Frazier’s union agreed to…

Anyway, here’s Todd Block Frazier (.685 OPS) not in uniform.  Is he violating his own union’s CBA, or do I not have all the information.  Please let me know if some sort of accommodation has been made.

So what’s up Mr. Torre?  Are you enforcing the rules or not?  Or did some sort of rule get passed where it’s OK to wear that style of shirt in the dugout?

While we’re talking about the rulebook, before you get mad at me, let me remind you these are not MY rules.

 

 

I love that one.  Can you take a picture with the veteran of the game?  Nope.  Can you say hi to a kid in the stands? Nope.  Can you say hi to your ex-teammate while you meet up at first base?  Nope.

Now before the WHO CARES crowd shows up – I care.  If you don’t care, go check out the “Fan Shot Trade Evaluation” over at AAIMBR.  That’s probably more your style.
