Baseball Umpires are such arrogant pussies sometimes. No one goes to the game to watch them.

While Football and Basketball refs seem to want to diffuse arguments, baseball umpires instigate it.

Anyway if you want to read the story;

So he was tossed from a game he wasn’t going to play in for complaining to an ump about a call from the previous day’s game.

No cap. I thought he stopped being a bitch when he left Boston but I guess not.

It's crazy how umps can pretty much eject anyone for any reason and do so flippantly.

In other sports being ejected is a significant punishment and reserved exclusively for certain serious offenses.

It's a weird baseball culture thing.

You know it was a balk right? I’d toss him too. Hopefully he gets suspended for a month for being a pussy.
