The frustration up and down the Toronto Blue Jays‘ roster is very apparent.
So much so, that even players who aren’t participating in the game are getting thrown out.
In Saturday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Blue Jays pitcher Chris Bassitt was ejected from the game for arguing with the first-base umpire.
Bassitt had the night off, as it was Jose Berrios who got the call on the mound. But that didn’t stop Bassitt from making his mark on the game.
Bassitt came out of the dugout in the top of the fifth inning to argue what he believed was a questionable check-swing call by the first base umpire. He was swiftly ejected before Blue Jays manager John Schneider came out to his defence.
The right-hander wasn’t the only Blue Jay to show his frustration, as Berrios was also visibly disappointed in the dugout after he was pulled following four innings of work.
Berrios gave up five earned runs, seven hits and walked four before leaving with his team trailing 5-1.
