Arguing is one thing. When you throw your bat and hit your own coach for a clear strike 3 call I hope Manfred suspends him. Everything with this guy has drama attached to it.
Just disgraceful from Contreras. He was wrong about the balls/strikes, he was wrong to cuss out the umpire like a complete gangsta as he walked away, he was wrong to charge and bump the umpire, and he is dead wrong to sit here and lie to the media. Hopefully he receives a very lengthy ban. He should have done one thing and one thing only- apologize and own up to your idiocy.
I'm a drama queen, but the ump musta been razzest.
my god can we zoom out i feel like im going to get splashed with greese
Oh Puhhhhleeeeez! We all know why you got ejected
Go from Yadier to this. Oof
Never liked this cry, baby. He's so dramatic. Thank god the cubs shipped him out!
He acted like a giant man-baby.
He hit the ump with his right shoulder, then threw his helmet, then his bat, and maybe the tub of bubble gum. He acts pretty innocent for a guy who did all that.
