Reds walk 6 times in an inning and Goodwin gets ejected, a breakdown

What Happened

The Cincinnati Reds are facing off against the Chicago White Sox in an intense matchup. In the bottom of the inning, Reds outfielder Jesse Winker steps up to the plate and lofts a soft fly ball for a base hit. Next, Reds outfielder Brian Goodwin strides to the plate and takes a few swings, ultimately discarding his bat in frustration after grounding out. Freddy Galvis of the Reds then hits a routine fielder's choice, but a run still manages to score. An intentional walk follows, loading the bases for the Reds. Catcher Tyler Stephenson then draws a free pass, continuing the parade of walks. Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez approaches the plate and displays some unique batting motions, eventually earning another walk for Cincinnati. The next Reds batter also earns a free pass, further extending the team's rally. Winker then steps back up and is hit by a pitch, though the umpire initially appears unsure if it actually grazed Winker's hand. With the bases still loaded, Goodwin comes to bat again. The umpire calls a borderline strike on Goodwin's first pitch, prompting the outfielder to dispute the call. "That's not a strike, it was low," Goodwin argues. The next pitch is indeed low and Goodwin draws a walk to force in another run. However, Goodwin continues to argue the previous strike call and the umpire promptly ejects him from the game. "You're gone!" the umpire yells, tossing the ball to the pitcher's mound. Goodwin departs, but not before jokingly complimenting the umpire's appearance. Reds manager David Bell then comes out to discuss the ejection with the umpire. "You kind of look like Rob Cordry the actor, but you're also a jerk," Bell seems to say, though the specifics of the conversation are unclear. The umpire had acted quickly and decisively in tossing Goodwin, despite the player's relatively mild protest. The eventful inning showcases the Reds' patience at the plate, as they draw multiple walks to score runs. However, the ejection of Goodwin adds some extra drama and controversy to the proceedings.
