The Tampa Bay Rays rallied back to beat the San Francisco Giants, 2-1, on Saturday night but their manager, Kevin Cash, wasn’t around to see the team score their winning runs as he was tossed from the game in the eighth inning after yelling a profane message at the home plate umpire. <\/p>\n
Tampa’s Chandler Simpson thought he had drawn a key walk in the eighth inning when a 3-1 pitch by Jose Butto appeared to be a bit low. Simpson made a move to first, but had to quickly stop after home plate umpire Dan Iassogna called it a strike. <\/p>\n
Cash didn’t love that call at all and let Iassogna know about it. <\/p>\n
“That’s f—— down and you know it’s down!,” Cash yelled from the Rays’ dugout. He was quickly ejected and ran out on the field to yell at Iassogna a little more before heading back to the locker room. <\/p>\n
Here’s how that played out: <\/p>\n
“That’s fucking down and you know it’s down!”<\/p>\n
