This is a great shot from NBC Sports Philadelphia:

There’s a lot going on here. 1) You’ve got Rob Thomson with the most visible reaction. He throws his head back and lets out out some sort of “ahh” while still chomping on his gum before jogging out onto the field. 2) Garrett Stubbs didn’t even see the plunking because he’s buried in a tablet, but he puts it down and runs out there. 3) Jose Alvarado casually puts the glove down before hauling ass and beating most of his teammates to the field. 4) Cristopher Sanchez and 4-5 other guys hop the fence almost immediately. 5) It’s funny seeing the bat boy run out of the dugout first, even though he was probably just grabbing the equipment and not intending to beat someone’s ass (or was he?) 6) Kevin Long with the sideways head tilt, like ‘you’ve got to be kidding me,’ then he puts his notes in the back pocket while walking up the stairs. The whole thing is great, pretty cool to see the entire dugout empty because they’ve got their guy’s back. Nothing actually happened on the field, just a lot of holding other people back, but still.
