The Astros star, a villain among many MLB fan bases as a result of Houston’s cheating scandal, was ejected from the team’sin 11 innings on Sunday after a ball he thought he fouled off his foot was called in-play, and he was thrown out to end the seventh inning.“I understand the guy behind the plate didn’t see it because the catcher’s there. But you have another three guys — first, second and third. I felt like it was kind of obvious. That’s why I was so mad.
A 1-1 pitch looked like it was rifled off Altuve’s left foot, causing the ball to bounce up the third-base line, but none of the umpires – including James Jean, who was behind the plate – called the play dead. This resulted in an easy third, as Mets third baseman Mark Vientos swept up the ball before dialing it to first base.
