Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo was tossed for yelling at umpires from a luxury suite Sunday in Atlanta, with longtime crew chief Joe West saying, “Enough is enough.”
“I wouldn’t take that from a player. I wouldn’t take that from a manager,” West told The Associated Press. “If it was Donald Trump, I’d eject him too. But I’d still vote for him.”
The 67-year-old West, on track to set the record for most games umpired in big-league history next year, said the crew told the commissioner’s office Friday that Rizzo was hollering at umpires earlier in the Nationals-Braves series.
