“You suck! F**k You!”: Rival MLB managers ejected in sequence, Guardians vs Angels was filled with surprises

MLB managers ejected one after the other

MLB- Cleveland Guardians secured a 5-4 victory against the Los Angeles Angels on Monday at Progressive Field. The match was filled with headlines as Mike Trout slugged a homer for the 7th consecutive game for the Angels whereas the two managers could see the headlines having only Mike Trout’s name.

MLB managers Terry Francona (Cleveland Guardians) and Interim manager Phil Nevin (LA Angels) were both ejected from the game on Monday, one after the other, in the seventh inning. It all started when Terry Francona was totally convinced a pitch delivered by Angel’s reliever Ryan Tepera hit his shortstop Andrés Giménez.

The home plate umpire did not agree with Terry and that is when things went south. Guardians’ manager took a verbal blow at MLB umpires, pointing his finger in Kulpa’s face and continued to argue his case even after the umpire signaled the ejection.

“[Giménez] pointed to us. I think everybody could see it,” MLB manager said. “[Home-plate umpire Ron Kulpa] said that [Giménez] was already engaged with the pitcher. I said, ‘No, he wasn’t, he stepped out and pointed.’”

Moments after the Guardians manager Terry Francona was tossed, Angels interim manager Phil Nevin was ejected after Ryan Tepera wasn’t allowed a warmup pitch in the 7th. “The clock had run out, but I did see him raise his hand earlier,”

Los Angeles Angels’ interim manager Phil Nevin said. “I was waiting for the replay, and I wouldn’t have been happy if I were on the other side. Not sure if I’ve seen that one.”

“No one recognized that there was a hold in place,” first-base umpire John Tumpane told a Cleveland pool reporter. “[Francona] was adamant that they were holding and the batter wasn’t ready to go. As adamant as he was, we felt it was best to check with the whole crew. That’s why we reconvened as a four-man crew.”
