In game two, with the Giants leading the series 1-0, the game went to extra innings. Nationals’ Asdrubal Cabrera was up at bat facing a full count with no outs.
Cabrera thought the pitch was a ball, but it was called a strike. Cabrera was about to head to first pace when he realizes what call had just been made.
In protest Cabrera slams his bat and helmet down before unloading on the umpire, who then promptly ejected him.
Of course frustrations are high in an important post-season game, in extra innings, but Cabrera getting ejected isn’t helping his team any either.
