Watch Giants’ pitcher Hunter Strickland yell at Salvador Perez, Perez react

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez was confused by home plate umpire Eric Cooper's warning to him while Kansas City Royals second baseman Omar Infante came in on a home run he hit in the sixth inning that drove in Perez in game two of the World Series on Wednesday, October 22, 2014, at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Cooper had advised Perez to let Infante make it to base before coming out to greet him any closer.

After Royals’ Omar Infante hit a 2-run homer in the 6th inning, Salvador Perez, who scored in front of Infante, waited for him at home plate. San Francisco Giants pitcher Hunter Strickland yelled at Perez across the plate, which caused the benches to clear.

Twitter wasted no time reacting, either:
