On Tuesday night, the New York Mets stepped onto the field for a game against the Atlanta Braves.
Per usual, star pitcher Max Scherzer was making headlines during the game. There’s only one problem – he wasn’t actually pitching in the game tonight.
The fiery ace made it clear he wasn’t happy with the strike zone on Tuesday night, even though it wasn’t him not getting the calls. Sitting in the dugout, he wasn’t pleased with the calls going against fellow Mets pitcher Carlos Carrasco.
During the bottom of the sixth inning, Scherzer had enough. He let the home plate umpire hear it – a little too much.
The star pitcher was tossed out of a game he wasn’t even a part of.
Check it out.
It’s not often a player who isn’t in the game gets ejected for arguing balls and strikes with the home plate umpire.
Then again, not everyone is Max Scherzer.
