San Francisco Giants first base coach Antoan Richardson accused San Diego Padres coach Mike Shildt of using an expletive that "reeked undertones of racism" during Tuesday's game between the two teams.
Speaking to reporters after San Francisco's 13-2 win, Richardson addressed the third-inning exchange that led to him being ejected from the game:
"[Shildt] yelled, 'You need to control that motherf--ker,' At that point in time, I went to the top step and said, 'Excuse me?' because I couldn't believe what I heard. At that point in time, [Greg] Gibson, the crew chief, decided to toss me from the game.
