Joe Girardi was hilariously ejected from his Philadelphia Phillies’ game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night.
Genesis Cabrera came in to pitch the top of the sixth inning for the Cardinals. He drilled Bryce Harper with a fastball in the face. Next he hit Didi Gregorius in the ribs. Two pitches, two Phillies plunked.
Naturally, Girardi was fuming and came out to talk with the umpires.
Some were saying that Girardi pretended to eject home plate umpire Chris Segal. But it also looked like Girardi may have been trying to say Cabrera should have been ejected.
Cabrera made five pitches in the appearance. He hit two batters and gave up a run-scoring single. That was not his finest moment. Girardi was right to be upset.
