The veteran had to be held back by manager John Schneider and teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. following a ruling that he had not been hit by a pitch that seemed to graze him.

Springer is known for being a calm player, but even he could not stand for this ruling in what has been a frustrating year for both the 34-year-old and the Blue Jays.It appeared a 1-2 pitch from Angels lefty reliever Kenny Rosenberg clipped Springer on his foot, with Springer starting to walk to first, but Gonzalez did not rule that Springer had been hit.
Guerrero had to work as Springer attempted to evade him to get back toward the umpires before finally retreating to the dugout while boos rained down.Springer maintained the pitch unquestionably hit him and said Gonzalez told him he did not see the clipping due to how Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe slid to corral the ball.
“I thought there’s no need to throw George out there. He was kind of walking away and gathering himself. That was, I think, why he reacted the way he did.”
