A’s Ryan Noda responds to ump’s borderline strike call by marking it in the dirt, gets tossed

Having a bit of deja vu?

On Monday night, it was Oakland A’s first baseman Ryan Noda who saw a strike called — to be fair, it looked like it JUST hit the outside corner according to the broadcast, but we’ll see it’s borderline — and then took his bat and swiped some dirt.

BOOM, he was thrown out immediately, just like Segura.

Yep. Can’t do that.
