Twitter reacts to Tommy Pham/Joc Pederson saga

The first reaction came from a fan saying that he might be having a stroke over how weird this altercation/story was.

"One baseball player slapping another over fantasy football? Am-am I having a stroke? Is seeing weird shit like this a symptom of a stroke?" - @ bookhouseboy90

Another fan reacted by saying, "Where is Ashton Kutcher?"

"@PavovicNBCS This isn't real right? Where's Ashton Kutcher?" - @ Clayton Kelly

One fan said that Tommy Pham is clearly not a stable individual.

"@PavlovicNBCS Pham has never seemed a stable individual. Something that got me was Joc said this was a year ago the text exchange." - @ Anthony

One fan can't believe that grown adults are fighting over a fantasy football league.

"@PavlovicNBCS This is the most bizarre story I've heard. I can undrestand 2 acne faced high schoolers beefing about a tiff they had in fantasy football 6 months ago. But 2 grown ass professional athletes?" - @ Frank Viloria

Lastly, one fan said that they're a bigger fan of Joc Pederson.

"@PavlovicNBCS Makes me a bigger Joc fan!" - @ Jack Ryan

The whole thing leaves a lot of us scratching our heads.
