Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Sean O'Sullivan will likely wake up with a sore throat Monday morning after failing to get on the same page as his catcher in Sunday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
In the top of the sixth inning at Citizens Bank Park, the 27-year-old stared at the runner on first base after uncorking a fastball to Aaron Hill, holding his gaze a little bit too long before catcher Cameron Rupp returned him the ball.

Though Rupp's ill-timed throw prompted a visit from a team trainer, O'Sullivan stayed in the game and induced a fly out from Hill for his final out of the afternoon en route to a 6-0 victory over Arizona.
