Derek Shelton said after the chicago cubs mlb jersey ebay game thMLB Pajamas at Castro’s phone mishap was a “general mistake,” and Castro even said that he didn’t remember having his phone on him du chicago cubs mlb jersey is on the air ring the game. And while the Pirates may not take disciplinary action on the young infielder, the MLB might lay the metaphoric hammer down.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic tweeted shortly before 1 p.m. that CastShohei Ohtani Jerseys ro violated the league’s chicago cubs jersey fanatics electronic device policy:

The Pirates’ Rodolfo Castro, who had a cell phone fall out of his back pocket last night, technically was in violation of MLB’s regulation prohibiting electronic devices on the field or in the dugout (except for MLB-approved iPads). chicago cubs dress shirt Not known if he will face discipline.

Personally, I feel that the league would be wasting its time on disciplining Castro for this incident. Did he do something wrong that goes against league policy? Yes. Did it do anything to help boost his or the team’s performance? Not really.

Castro went 0-for-3 with a walk in last night’s 6-4 loss to Arizona, and he saw every bit of Cruz’s single as it landed in shallow left field while he was rounding second.

For more context, the Pirates have one of baseball’s worst records AND Castro is hitting .189 this season. If anything, Castro keeping his phone on him in-game gives him something better to do when in the dugout, which is playing Clash Royale or streaming the egregious AppleTV+ bDerek Jeter Jerseys aseball games that they force down our throats.

The commissioner, however, has made plenty of poor decisions during his time at the helm of the MLB, so it wouldn’t completely shock me if he prioritised this incident over something more beneficial, like making life affordable for minor league players.
