Nationals' Stephen Strasburg Ejected For Arguing While Sitting in Stands
Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports
Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg was ejected from Thursday's game against the Mets after arguing balls and strikes.
He wasn't pitching, however. Instead, he happened to be sitting in section 121.
In the bottom of the third inning, Strasburg, frustrated after a pair of pitch calls by umpire Carlos Torres, decided to make his opinion known by yelling at the umpire from the lower-level stands at Citi Field.
Torres ejected the pitcher, who while wearing a protective face mask, tipped his cap towards the umpire as he started exiting the stands after the ejection.
