Manager Ejected as Game Turns Wild | Washington Nationals News

0:00It's September 9th. This is Washington Nationals News Today, driven by AI, your team, nonstop. So, the Nationals manager, Blake Boutera, got tossed from the game on Wednesday. This went down in the third inning against the Padres. It looked like he was arguing a checkswing call from the umpire, a meal himmenez, during a crucial at-bat. The Nationals were up two to nothing at the time, with runners on base. The pitch in question was a curveball in the dirt, and the umpire ruled the battered in swing, which changed the count. On the very next pitch, that batter singled, bringing in a run for the Padres. Then, in the next ad-bat, the Padres had a triple that cleared the bases and gave them the lead. The centerfielder even crashed into the wall, trying to make the play. It was a pretty wild turn of events, right after the manager got ejected. After Boutera was sent packing, the bench coach, Michael Johns, stepped in to manage the rest of the game. This isn't the first time Boutera has been ejected. He got his first managerial, Sindoff, back on August 3rd.

1:05It's definitely a tough break for the Nationals, especially with how quickly things changed on the field, after that umpires call, and the managers. Reaction.
