Thursday was getaway day for the Giants as they were set to finish up their road series with the Nationals before heading back to San Francisco. But for manager Bob Melvin, it ended up being a particularly short afternoon at the ballpark.
Melvin couldn’t make it through the first inning before an ejection. But let’s be honest: He had every reason to be upset with home plate umpire Stu Scheurwater.
With Mark Canha at the plate and the bases loaded, Scheurwater punched out the Giants first baseman on a 2-2 changeup that was nowhere near the strike zone. The pitch was high and outside, actually crossing the left-handed batter’s box. Canha was in disbelief over the call, and Melvin let Scheurwater (and everyone watching the broadcast) hear it.
Mics picked up much of the argument. (Warning: NSFW language)

“That’s not even close … I don’t hear you. I’m standing up for my players. You think I can hear you? Come on. That’s (expletive) bull(expletive) … Make a decent call! Make a decent call!”
The Giants ended up scoring one run in the inning instead of putting up a crooked number. Fans were justifiably furious over the call as well.
MLB umpires have the most fragile egos i have ever seen…they blatantly miss countless calls but are itching to eject anybody who complains. https://t.co/SW6GFzNOPr
IDK if it can get any worse for @MLB umpires. They are literally ruining the game. Pitchers are throwing harder w/ more movement than ever & umps cannot keep up. Hitters are at a massive disadvantage because they have zero idea what will be called a strike. The time to act is now https://t.co/nGzJ9mox5E
Teams should get 3 ball/strike challenges a game where it’s the expedited challenge where the studio can just buzz down to the ump with the decision. https://t.co/vjHnsUdRz3
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I’m becoming more and more convinced that MLB and their umpires are now doing this on purpose purely for the publicity. https://t.co/YMRwHcRx8s
