Because he shouted the "f-word" at the ump.

I guess "rhetorical" doesn't mean anything anymore.

I know why he's ejected in a literal sense. He should be, I get it. I just don't like that the umpire passively admits his mistake by making Pete Alonso pay for it the very next pitch. It should have just been called a ball, and I wouldn't be saying anything about this.

Re: 8/3 - 8/16 Game Discussion Thread

How do we know the ump called it a ball because it was low? Maybe in his estimation the first pitch missed in and the 2nd pitch is over middle of plate and he called it a strike.

I don't think you can state that the umpire passively admits his mistake when the pitches are in two different locations.

Re: 8/3 - 8/16 Game Discussion Thread

No self-respecting MLB umpire would call that inside, but I understand your point.

Regardless, we know that Jomboy will be dissecting this for clicks later tonight. Sadly he doesn't get to lip-read, but oh well.

I mean look, Strasburg being ejected literally has no impact. It was just the principle of the matter.

EDIT: Actually Jomboy already did it an hour ago.

Can someone tell the Orioles they are supposed to suck and shouldn't be going for a damn sweep.

Both of the Phillies top prospects, Spencer Howard and Alec Bohm, both made their Major League debut wearing the retro powder blue uniforms.

I vote the Phillies don't wear anything else; if they must wear a home uniform, I'd okay with this:

Mookie Betts had his 4th career game of 4 hits and 3 home runs.

That's already the most in MLB history.

He's only the 3rd player in history with six 3-HR games, and he's 27.

The other two were Johnny Mize (37 when he got his 6th) and Sammy Sosa (33).

We're both a third of the way through the season and also 1/12th of the way through the season at the same time.

After watching the Jays hit seven homers the other night and LA-SD combine for eight last night, it sure sees like the ball is a little suspect. I don't think I've ever seen that many homers in one game at Dodger Stadium. All eight came before the end of the fifth inning.

Just catching up from last night.... Jeeeez Went after the first one like it was nothing (went the other way). Then bombed the next 2. Some said it the other day. 20-25 homers looks about right lol
