Ejected Jose Bautista begins break early
Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays argues with plate umpire Jerry Meals after being ejected during the eighth inning yesterday. “I don’t know why he threw me out,” Bautista said. (ORLIN WAGNER/AP)KANSAS CITY - At a critical point in the bizarre baseball game Sunday, with the potential go-ahead run on first base with two out in the top of the eighth inning, Jose Bautista was ejected by plate ump Jerry Meals with the count at a ball and two strikes.
Bautista made a comment and Meals reacted immediately, tossing Bautista for the sixth time in his career. The most recent ejection had been on Aug. 24, 2014, versus Tampa Bay.
