'Why are you hiding?' Nationals react to interference debacle as Torre defends call
HOUSTON — Dave Martinez began to step away from home plate umpire Sam Holbrook, appearing ready to wrap up his diatribe and return to the Washington Nationals‘ dugout. Crew chief Gary Cederstrom then pointed at Martinez’s chest and began to shout, to which Martinez responded in kind.
Washington bench coach Chip Hale wrestled his livid boss several steps away from the umpires, but Martinez pushed back. First base coach Tim Bogar came to help — now two men were restraining Martinez. The manager struggled with every step as he shouted at the umpires. Holbrook stared him down, motionless, as Martinez was brought further and further away.
