Nationals' 3B Anthony Rendon ejected for first time in his career... the explanation?

Anthony Rendon was not going to throw his bat at umpire Bob Davidson over a called third strike in the bottom of the twelfth inning last night. But apparently the ump thought he might, and he ejected Rendon. It was Rendons' first career ejection...

Washington Nationals' third baseman Anthony Rendon was not happy with an 0-1 pitch that was called strike two or the break-back 0-2 fastball Chicago Cubs' closer Hector Rondon threw him in his two-out at bat in the ninth that was called strike three by home plate umpire Bob Davidson.
