MLB ump threw out both managers on the same play and fans couldn’t believe the wild scene

We’ve seen MLB umps do a lot of weird/bad things this season and that continued Monday night in Cleveland when Guardians manager Terry Francona and Angels manager Phil Nevin were both were ejected after one play in the seventh inning.

This was all pretty wild. Francona started things off by getting the boot after he argued with home plate ump Ron Kulpa after Francona thought Andrés Giménez was hit by a pitch. The Guardians manager came out of the dugout, said a bunch of bad words to Kulpa and was shown the door.

After that argument took place, Nevin got upset when the umps wouldn’t let his pitcher, Ryan Tepera, take a few warmup pitches after the long delay. Nevin let his feelings be known and then he was tossed, too.

Let’s look at the ejections.

Francona got in a lot of F-bombs:

Amazing.
