Cincinnati Reds: David Bell was completely justified in his frustration

During yesterday’s 6-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds‘ skipper David Bell was ejected. It came during the ninth inning after José Peraza was plunked by relief pitcher Dillon Maples. Peraza was the third Reds player hit by pitch during the game, and after both benches were warned following a benches-clearing scuffle, Bell was completely justified in his anger.

With two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning and the Cubs leading the Reds 5-0, Pedro Strop hit Yasiel Puig in the leg with a 93-MPH fastball.
