Baseball managers are human beings like the rest of us, so you can’t blame them for letting their emotions get the best of them sometimes in the middle of a game when things aren’t going the way they would have liked.
On Monday night the Richmond Flying Squirrels hosted the Bowie Baysox and it was quite the defensive battle. However, in the top of the 7th inning things got a little tense after the umpires tossed Richmond third baseman Jonah Arenado from the game. Clearly unhappy with that call and other calls throughout the night, Richmond bench boss Willie Harris went to bat for his players and completely lost it on the umpire.
Home plate umpire Mike Savakinas probably thought Harris was done after lashing out at him, but it turns out he was just getting started as he returned back to the dugout and kept the show going by tossing a bucket of balls onto the field.
The hosts ended up dropping the game, 2-0, but at least the home crowd got a little extra show for their money.
