Baseball is all fun and games until someone puts a cockroach in your jersey, apparently!
As of Tuesday, the Atlanta Braves bullpen currently seems to be in the midst of an ongoing prank war after A.J. Minter cast the first stone. During an interview with Bally Sports, Minter spilled the beans about the hilarious bullpen prank war after Tyler Matzek attempted to lift his teammate’s hat on camera.
Hiding under Minter’s hat was a very visible strip of eye black, placed on his cap by Jackson Stephens in retaliation for an extremely low blow. Minter’s sin? He put a cockroach in Stephens’ jersey and, understandably, his fellow pitcher freaked out about it!

Honestly, Stephens didn’t go hard enough here in getting retaliation on Minter. Cockroaches are no laughing matter, especially when you don’t expect it!
