MLB fan sparks outrage after being removed from stadium for interfering with the match in Diamondbacks vs. Giants game
The Arizona Diamondbacks won in the match against the San Francisco Giants recently but the match was brought to a standstill when a fan interfered in the middle of the game. Even though the fan was later escorted out of the Chase Stadium, it has sparked a debate among fans and many are furious at this decision.
A fan was escorted out during the match between the Giants and Diamondbacks and it has sparked outrage
The San Francisco Giants' Christian Koss was about to make a home run when the fan interfered.
For the unversed, as Christian Koss hit the ball to centre in the eighth inning, Arizona Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa made a run for it and tried to catch the ball but was unsuccessful as a middle aged fan dressed in the Diamondbacks' jersey ended up catching the ball with his glove before Tawa.
This brought the game to a standstill as umpires got together to figure out the next step.
While first it was ruled as fan interference, the San Francisco Giants challenged it and the footage was later reviewed.
It was revealed that even without the fan interference, Tim Tawa would not have been able to catch the ball but yet Christian Koss ended up with a double instead of a home run.
Now, as the fan was escorted out of the stadium for interfering in the match, it has sparked outrage.
A fan by the username @Mikehouse_cb took to X and wrote, 'I'm sorry.

Natural reaction of anyone when a ball is coming towards them is to put their glove out and catch the ball. The fact that @MLB kicks paying fans out for this is insane and why baseball is losing the popularity battle.'

Another fan by the username @MrMarvelTV commented, 'Still don't understand why they threw out the fan if it was overturned as 'not fan interference.' It was a home run if the fan didn't touch the ball. Although technically the fan did save the DBacks from a home run and a tied ball game there since the guy ended up on second base.'
A third fan by the username @RPGuy16 posted, 'They put fans right up against the wall where the ball is in play and then blame fans when they become part of the play. Makes no sense', while another user by the username @Eric08508652 wrote, 'I agree with the call. Disagree with the ejection.'
While the Arizona Diamondbacks ended up winning the match, neither of the teams has issued a statement about this yet.

Draymond Green reveals what Golden State Warriors must do after pairing Stephen Curry with Jimmy Butler
(Image Source - Getty Images) Draymond Green believes that leveraging the Stephen Curry–Jimmy Butler duo is just the start. With Jimmy Butler joining in mid-February, the Golden State Warriors have surged into the second round after a rocky first half. Now, Draymond Green says it's time to turn attention to free agency and smart roster adjustments. As Kevon Looney leaves and the frontcourt requires attention, the Golden State Warriors are ready to reshape their offseason approach. Here's why Draymond Green thinks the hard work is finished and what's on the horizon. Jimmy Butler helped Golden State Warriors go 23-7 after trade After the trade on February 6, 2025, Jimmy Butler joined the team through a five-team deal, which completely changed the course of Golden State's season. The Golden State Warriors turned things around, going 23-7 after the trade and clinching a play-in spot, eventually taking down Houston in the playoffs. Draymond Green mentioned on his podcast that acquiring Jimmy Butler was the crucial step, and now the groundwork is laid. It's essential to smartly build around this experienced duo to keep the momentum going. On the first day of free agency, Kevon Looney signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the New Orleans Pelicans, marking the end of his decade-long stint with the Golden State Warriors (599 games, three championships). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo This move indicates that Golden State is now focusing on adding stretch-big players. Al Horford (39) has become a top target, providing both spacing and rim protection. If that doesn't happen, Chris Boucher might be a budget-friendly option, and they are also looking at role players like Gary Payton II and De'Anthony Melton. Golden State is heading into this offseason with about $170.5 million already committed, and they need to keep an eye on the second tax apron ($207.8M), especially if they're looking to bring in Al Horford through the taxpayer mid-level exception ($5.7M). On another note, Jonathan Kuminga (22) is set to become a restricted free agent, with a possible $7.9 million qualifying offer and a cap hold of $22.9 million. GM Mike Dunleavy suggests focusing on versatile, two-way players who can spread the floor and defend, instead of going for one-dimensional guys.

If the front office and coaching staff can pull off these strategic upgrades, the veteran core might just have one last shot at a deep playoff run before their opportunity slips away.

"I don't know what's going on" — Giannis Antetokounmpo stunned as Milwaukee Bucks bring in Myles Turner
(Image Source - Getty Images) Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't say much—but his meme said it all. As the Milwaukee Bucks waived an injured Damian Lillard to make way for Myles Turner, Giannis's viral 'I don't know what's going on' post lit up social media. A larger story behind that obscure response, however, is emotional baggage, locker-room chemistry and a roster gamble fast becoming salvaging or negating the championship aspirations of the Milwaukee Bucks . Damian Lillard's Achilles injury and contract stretch open the door for Myles Turner's arrival On July lst, 2025, the Milwaukee Bucks hit the news with a decision to waive nine-time All-Star, Damian Lillard, who is injured at the moment, having a torn Achilles. They decided to extend the rest of his contract that is worth ~$113 million over five years. This signing in cap strategy provided the room needed in order to sign the Myles Turner four year 107 million contract, which has a player option and a 15 % trade kicker. Turner is arguably one of the top rim protectors (averaged 2.0 blocks per game last season) and he is a master of floor spacing- this signing is a strategic action by the front court to make the best years of Giannis even better. While the Bucks' front office is promoting this as a bold strategy to shift the team's title chances, NBA insider Chris Haynes reveals that Giannis is "not thrilled" with the decision to release Lillard. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo He posted a meme of himself smoking a cigar, captioned "Mood 💯," just minutes after the Lillard waiver was announced. The timing and tone hint at more than just confusion—it points to some emotional distress at the highest levels. With Turner joining the team, he fills the defensive gap left by Brook Lopez, who moved to the Clippers earlier in free agency. He averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and led the league with 2.0 blocks during the Pacers' Finals run this season. Yet, letting go of Lillard—a significant addition from two seasons ago—could shake up the team's chemistry. As Giannis reacts publicly and trade talks heat up, the Bucks find themselves at a critical juncture: will this frontcourt gamble lift the team's energy. Also Read: New York Knicks pass on Dawn Staley as finalist after eye-catching early conversation The Bucks clearly banked on Myles Turner's defensive prowess and cap-clearing magic to extend their title window with Giannis Antetokounmpo. But Giannis's candid post—'I don't know what's going on right now'—reveals a deep emotional divide. If the Bucks want to stay in the running, building unity and understanding will be as important as revamping the roster. If not, even the most carefully planned free-agent moves could fall apart due to superstar dissatisfaction. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Jimmy Butler was homeless and alone at 13, but a friend's mom became his saving grace
Image credit: Jimmy Butler/Instagram Jimmy Butler started from absolute scratch in building a life that gave him a name, fame, and a game — literally. Life had been tough for him from the start. He never even knew who his father was, as he had walked away when Butler was still an infant. Then, at just 13, his mother threw him out of the house. With no home or money, Butler kept himself going with the help of friends and made it to the NBA through sheer hard work, grit, and determination. Jimmy Butler's journey from homeless teen to NBA stardom In an old interview with ESPN, Butler expressed his dislike for being pitied over his tough childhood. 'There's nothing to feel sorry about. I love what happened to me. It made me who I am. I'm grateful for the challenges I've faced. Please, don't make them feel sorry for me.' Butler has every right to the respect he's earned for surviving his teenage years by moving from one friend's house to another. 'I don't like the look of you. You gotta go,' his mother had said while throwing him out when he was just 13. Among the friends who helped him was Jordan Leslie, who later became an NFL player. Leslie's mother welcomed Butler into their big family of six-seven children and let him stay with them for a few months — on one condition: he had to follow the same rules as her own kids. Butler once revealed that he couldn't believe her graciousness, especially after how his own parents had treated him. Michelle Lambert, Leslie's mother, told ESPN, 'I told him my kids looked up to him. He had to stay out of trouble, work hard in school, and set an example. And you know what? Jimmy did it. Anything I asked him to do, he did it without asking questions.' After managing to get through high school, it was Butler's basketball talent that paved the way forward. He eventually earned an athletic scholarship to Marquette University, where he represented the college team and was named to the All-Big East Honorable Mention list twice during his second and third years. Despite everything, Butler has said he loves his parents and occasionally meets them, holding no hard feelings.
