Don Mattingly drops a bunch of F-bombs after being ejected, a breakdown
What Happened
Don Mattingly, the manager of the Miami Marlins, is ejected in the 5th inning of the game after a heated exchange with the home plate umpire. The incident is captured on a hot microphone, allowing viewers to hear Mattingly's colorful language as he expresses his frustration with the umpire's calls. The conflict begins when the Marlins' pitcher throws a pitch that the catcher and Mattingly believe should have been called a strike. Mattingly approaches the umpire, clearly displeased with the call and the two engage in a back-and-forth discussion. Mattingly can be heard using multiple expletives as he argues his case, his voice rising in intensity. The umpire, seemingly unfazed by Mattingly's outburst, eventually decides to eject the manager from the game. As Mattingly removes his hat and walks away, he continues to voice his displeasure, unleashing a barrage of profanity that is captured by the hot microphone. The camera follows Mattingly as he retreats to the dugout, his anger and frustration evident in his body language. "That's a joke, that's a f***ing joke," Mattingly can be heard saying, referencing the umpire's decision. He further expresses his disbelief, declaring, "You don't give a s**t, it's not down," indicating his belief that the pitch should have been called a strike. As the umpire prepares to resume the game, the commentators chime in, acknowledging the heated exchange and Mattingly's colorful language. They note that the manager's outburst is likely to earn him a fine or suspension from the league, as such behavior is generally frowned upon, even in the heat of the moment. Despite the tense situation, the game continues, with the Marlins' offense managing to get a hit in the next at-bat. However, the team is unable to capitalize on the opportunity, as the next batter, Austin Riley, strikes out and the following batter flies out, ending the inning. The incident with Don Mattingly has undoubtedly added some drama and entertainment to the game, but it also serves as a reminder of the high emotions and intense rivalries that can sometimes flare up in the world of professional baseball.
