Padres' Mike Shildt throws glasses while arguing Tatis ejection - ESPN
NEW YORK — Mike Shildt had seen enough, and he was so angry with plate umpire Adrian Johnson that he made a spectacle by tossing his spectacles.
A tantrum by San Diego's manager following the first major league ejection of star slugger Fernando Tatis Jr. fired up the Padres, who overcame a three-run deficit in the eighth inning to beat the New York Yankees 4-3 on a soggy Monday night and extend their winning streak to six.
«Shilty came down the tunnel and he was still chirping,» said Xander Bogaerts, who hit a go-ahead, two-run single off Luke Weaver that followed Manny Machado's two-run double. «I think he was ready to fight.»
Tatis was ejected after a strikeout, causing Shildt to rush out onto the field, throwing his lineup card and then his glasses. He argued so vociferously with Johnson and first-base umpire Quinn Wolcott that third-base coach Tim Leiper ran over in case intervention was needed.
«My glasses made it. I did have my head about me to make sure,» Shildt said after the game. «I got some — a lot of BPs on my shoulders — not as operable as I'd like but it came into play, and I made sure it stayed in the grass. I didn't want them scratched. I like these glasses a lot.»
Devin Williams entered with a 3-0 lead and walked Tyler Wade with one out in the eighth, then gave up a single to Brandon Lockridge. Williams threw four straight changeups, his famous Airbender, to Tatis. The two-time All-Star took the third at the bottom of the strike zone for strike two, then swung over an even lower pitch.
He said something in Johnson's left ear before taking a turn to the dugout and was immediately ejected. Tatis said it was his first ejection since winter ball as an 18-year-old.
«Ah, what did I say? I forgot,» Tatis said,
