Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez sure made the most of his ejection on Thursday afternoon.
Martinez started chirping at plate umpire Doug Eddings in the fifth inning of their 5-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. Martinez thought a pitch thrown by Nationals starter Jake Irvin should have been called a strike, something that was apparently a lingering issue for him throughout the game, even though the ball was clearly thrown well below the strike zone.
But, thanks to a hot mic and a very light crowd at Nationals Park, fans at home heard almost the entire conversation between Martinez and Eddings clearly. Though their initial interaction was fairly tame, it was Martinez’s reaction after his ejection that really made it fun. At one point, Martinez got down in the dirt behind the plate while screaming at Eddings.
