In the long tradition of athletes carrying yesterday's grievances into tomorrow's arena, Atlanta Braves ace Chris Sale arrived at Yankee Stadium on Sunday not to pitch, but to be heard. A rare and technically precise balk call from the night before — one that allowed a decisive run in a 5-4 loss — had settled into him overnight, and when he saw the umpire responsible, he could not remain silent. The confrontation cost him the game before it began, a reminder that the rules of competition govern not only what happens on the field, but how we carry what happens off it.
