Derek Shelton was ejected in the fourth inning of the Pittsburgh Pirates game with the Cleveland Guardians after arguing balls and strikes.
Pirates manager Derek Shelton clearly wasn't happy with how home plate umpire Brian Walsh was calling balls and strikes, and he was ejected in the middle of the fourth inning after an energetic argument.
Shelton had enough after McKinney's strikeout and was shouting at Wash from the top step of the dugout while holding up a number three, signifying how many times he had already missed a call. That, combined with a few magic words, was enough for Walsh to get Shelton an early exit. The Pirates do have a point here. The pitches were certainly inside and on the border of being a ball or strike and were probably slightly outside of the zone.
