Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Chris Pollard knows the rules, but got ejected for defending his team from “verbal abuse”. The infield fly call was just the spark. The real issue was the umpire’s tone. Pollard didn’t like it and let him know. He got tossed, but his team won anyway. The umpire’s abuse of power was the real strikeout.
