Too bad there's no replay. I want to see if this is a Bob Davidson short fuse or player going crazy type of ejection. Given Bob's recent performance, I'm tending to think Molina just lost it.
Bob Strikes Again!
I saw it live...Molina was walking away and got tossed at the end of the at-bat...he did turn around after the first pitch and they exchanged some words, but nothing happened then...i think the problem was that a very similar pitch was called a ball in the previous half-inning with Molina catching...wasn't that this was so bad, but it was the consistency
I agree with 4:42 Anon. The one bad thing about this league and QOC is that everything is taken as one pitch being right or wrong. I don't have a problem with that, right up until previous pitches are called differently. Whether it was one or multiple, I think there needs to be some sort of way to judge consistency, especially when a pitch in question is one of those that wasn't called consistently.
Baseball is that way, you get adjusted to an umpires strike zone, there isn't one who calls a game by the book. So if all of a sudden a call that has been called one way is called another. I do have a problem with that, and obviously so do a lot of players. You can be wrong that's fine, that's the game, but at least be wrong consistently.
Looking at the pitch f/x, it seems Toronto was receiving the called strike off the plate. Looks like a pretty standard map to me.
