VIDEO: Minor league manager goes crazy after ejection

A video of State College Spikes' minor league baseball manager Gary Robinson getting ejected from a game last Friday is going viral on the Internet.

The Spikes are a Single-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates who play their home games at Medlar Field on the campus of Penn State University.

In the sixth inning of an eventual loss to Batavia, Spikes' manager Robinson objected to the home plate umpire's call that an opposing batter was hit by a pitch. After about a minute of discussion, Robinson returned to his dugout and only then was tossed out of the game by the umpire.

Umpire Warning: Fair or Foul?

By KEN PLUTNICKI

As Ben Shpigel observed in his account of the Yankees’ 9-5 victory over Detroit Wednesday night, “Hostility reigned from the first pitch Jeremy Bonderman threw.”

The pitch plunked Brett Gardner in the right leg, perhaps in retaliation for his slide into second base on a double play on Monday night that wound up putting Carlos Guillen on the disabled list.

Barton Silverman/The New York Times The Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera, who had hit two home runs in the game, was hit by a pitch in the eighth inning Wednesday night.

As Johnny Damon was widely quoted after the game: “If anyone over there thought it was a clean slide, then we have a different opinion on that. It’s part of baseball. But I thought the slide was dirty, and I’m sure a lot of those guys would agree.”

After Gardner was hit, the home plate umpire, Eric Cooper, warned both benches.

Then, in a tense eighth inning, Yankees reliever Chad Gaudin hit Miguel Cabrera [video], who had homered twice in the game.

Cooper, however, did not throw anyone out, and Tigers Manager Jim Leyland was ejected for arguing that Gaudin should have been tossed.
