We’ve seen some very questionable ejections happen in Major League Baseball games in recent weeks and now have yet another one to add to that list.
In case you missed it, Phillies shortstop Trea Turner was tossed Monday night after striking out looking to end the bottom of the fifth inning. Turner was upset about the called strike, which did seem to catch a piece of the zone, and had some words with home plate umpire, Will Little.
Near the end of the conversation Turner was seen throwing his gear toward the bat boy and right after he did that, Little threw him out of the game.
Check this out:
