Jeff McNeil gets ejected after blowing up at umpire as Mets infielder’s frustrations boil over
NY Post
In the midst of a six-game losing streak and beginning a seventh game with a six-run deficit, the Mets’ frustrations were showing.
Jeff McNeil was ejected from Friday’s game at Citi Field against the Rangers after erupting following a called strike three.
Facing Jacob deGrom in the fourth inning of a game the Mets trailed, 6-3, McNeil worked back from an 0-2 hole and forced a full count.
DeGrom threw a four-seamer that was at McNeil’s knees, which he believed to be low.
He flipped his bat away and took a leap toward first base, expecting a walk, and then let out a yell as he learned he had been punched out.
From a distance he said something to home-plate umpire Scott Barry, who immediately tossed the Mets second baseman.
