Brewers outfielder Jesse Winker was ejected from Saturday’s tilt against the Rays after arguing a pitch clock violation issued to him from home plate umpire Adam Hamari.
Winker was given an automatic strike during his at-bat against Ryan Thompson in the eighth inning after Hamari deemed that he’d taken too long to get into the batter’s box.
The bizarre part, however, was that Thompson had yet to even step on the mound, and Milwaukee’s bat boy could be seen scurrying out of frame of the camera just moments before the violation was issued.
