Angels News: Phil Nevin Suspended After Absolutely Losing it on Umpire
In this story:
The Angels will play without their manager on the bench on Saturday after Major League Baseball announced a one game suspension for his actions at the end of Friday night's game in Toronto.
USA Today's Bob Nightengale was among those to report the suspension.
The Angels fell by a final of 4-1 to the Blue Jays on Friday night. With the bases loaded in the ninth inning, Michael Stefanic (who was pinch hitting for Shohei Ohtani who came out with cramping in his calves) was struck out on a strike three call that seemed decently enough off the plate.
Nevin was caught on camera shouting at home plate umpire Mike Estabrook. He was emphatically showing Estabrook that blown call in the ninth inning. Nevin was restrained by bench coach Ray Montgomery.
He certainly got his money's worth out of the blow up.
Nevin is not appealing the suspension.
