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.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
