TALK OF THE TOWN JULY 28: ORTIZ EJECTED

Red Sox bat in top, Orioles bat in bottom

Let’s start Top 4th, 2 on, 2 outRed Sox, 1-0 Red Sox and Stephen Drew blasts a 3-run home-run to right and the Red Sox are up 4-zip. Okay, Top 7th now, 7-2 Red Sox, 3-0 count and Jairo Asencio pitches what looks to be a ball so Ortiz steps out of the box, throws his bat and walks to 1st base because it’s a walk which is completly  normal. But  then Umpire Tim Timmons calls it a strike so it’s 3 balls, 1 strike. 1 strike later the count is 3-2 and Ortiz strikes out swinging and then Ortiz starts hacking his bat at the telephone box, the telephone box gets jacked up and Ortiz is ejected! Red Sox go on to win 7-3.
