TORONTO — After unleashing a Twitter rant criticizing umpire Andy Fletcher's work behind the plate Thursday, Rays OF Carlos Gomez doubled down on his comments, saying he was even more upset about how Fletcher treated him when questioning a third-strike call, then ejecting him.
"He's the one who should have been thrown out last night because he's the only one who didn't do his job,'' Gomez said before Friday's game against the Blue Jays.
Gomez said he told Fletcher that the pitch ending a key sixth-inning pinch-hit appearance with the bases loaded was inside and that video would prove it.
