Eh, it's a bit more complicated than that.

Realmuto withdrew his glove while the umpire was in the process of handing him a fresh baseball. This was after the umpire warned the pitcher that he was taking too long to throw his pitches.

So that's what caused Realmuto to get ejected during the game. PS: Love the shrug emoji.

I just started Chapter 5 of the Clinton assassination timeline (where I did a Flash-Forward installment of President White dropping a shocking political bombshell of not seeking election to a first full four-year term in 2000).

It's baseball and umpires do not fuck around. This goes double with the home plate umpire because he or she is the one who calls the balls and strikes.

It's written in the rules that a player touching an umpire is an automatic ejection.

Do not irritate the umpires. You will regret it.

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo (R) signed legislation making it official: Oakland Athletics will be moving to Vegas and MLB Ownership are expected to approve the move in a few weeks.

It’s a good thing that Arizona Diamondbacks are doing well, or we’d hear them wanting to relocate. Then again, I really would like to see Vancouver get an MLB team in my lifetime.

Vancouver is a nice place to visit and have fun. They used to have the Grizzlies (NBA), who moved to Memphis.

True, but the basketball market in Vancouver was non existent at that time.

Baseball on the other hand, we have the Vancouver Canadians that is the Blue Jays’s minor league affiliate.
