Watch: Joe Maddon Ejected During Game’s First Plate Appearance
For a moment, it appeared as though Anthony Rizzo had hit his third straight leadoff home run. But then the umpires got together and the ball was ruled foul.
And then Joe Maddon absolutely flipped his isht.
In all honesty, Maddon may have just been looking for an excuse to get tossed. That lineup he put out there tonight was something else, enough that it almost felt like a troll job.
“Here you go, Davey, have fun with this one.”
As you may have gathered from the headline, Rizzo would eventually go on to draw a walk.
