Red Sox's Benintendi 'Shocked' by Ejection for Saying 'You Suck' About Umpire

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi was surprised by his ejection during the fifth inning of Boston's 9-5 loss to the Texas Rangers on Tuesday.

Benintendi was tossed by first base umpire Vic Carapazza after making a comment in reference to home plate umpire Angel Hernandez, according to Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald:

"I wasn't expecting that at all. I'm walking back to the dugout and he throws me out walking back. I didn't know until I was halfway through the dugout.

"I thought it was off the plate, but I didn't say anything to Angel.
