Toronto Blue Jays star George Springer exploded on an umpire on Tuesday night after he was ejected from a game against the Los Angeles Angels.
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer lost his mind on home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez after he was ejected in the seventh inning of the Los Angeles Angels game. Springer faced off against Angels pitcher Kenny Rosenberg in the top of the seventh inning. On a 1-2 count, Rosenberg’s pitch was low and inside and called a ball. Springer started to walk to first base as if the pitch had struck him in the foot.
The Blue Jays used a replay review to challenge the call. The replay suggested that Springer was hit on the right foot. However, officials determined he wasn’t hit. Springer started to complain and was ejected. But that was just the start of the fireworks. Toronto manager John Schneider came out to protest the call as well. Springer needed to be held back by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and first-base coach Mark Budzinski.
know the rule. He knows the rule. I was just kind of in shock at that call,' Springer said after the 6-1 victory. 'If you argue the call on that situation, it’s an automatic ejection. I get it.' Springer said Gonzalez initially told him that he could not clearly see the play because of the angle Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe took to block the ball in the dirt. MLB told the AP that replay official Adrian Johnson couldn’t definitely determine that Springer’s foot was struck.
Springer is hitting .221 with 14 home runs and 44 RBI this season. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
