The @MLB Twitter Account Offends Many With Phillies Carlos Ruiz Tweet

Carlos_Ruiz_Yadier_Molina

Last night, Carlos Ruiz caught the Freddy Galvis relay through and held onto the ball as Yadier Molina barrelled down upon him in the 8th inning.

Whoever was running the @MLB Twitter account apparently was impressed but managed to offend a bunch of people with their tweet that followed:

MLB_Tweet

Why is it offensive?  Here are some possible ways, indicative of these replies:

1. Women are not capable of being tough.

2. Buster Posey, unable to block the plate and make an out last year, is not a man (Two Giants replies above).

3. MLB favors the Philadelphia Phillies

Who actually does run this account?  An intern?
