Pablo Sandoval Benched for Liking Instagram Photos During Game

Boston Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval isn’t necessarily having a great first season with the team after signing a five-year, $95 million deal this past winter.

The former World Series hero was benched for Thursday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves for violating the team’s social media policy.

If we are being honest here, Sandoval’s benching is more of a stupid slip than anything else.

During a “bathroom break” in the seventh inning of Wednesday’s game, the third baseman decided that it was a great idea to creep a woman’s Instagram account by liking a couple of her photos.
