#Nationals’ Dave Martinez ejected after epic meltdown

In the seventh inning, Trea Turner struck out, but reached first base after a dropped third strike. The throw from Cubs catcher Willson Contreras was off. But it was ruled that Turner impeded the throw by running inside the baseline and was called for runner interference. Martinez came out to argue and was ejected.

“Honestly, I am beside myself now with this whole out-of-the-baseline thing, I really am,” Martinez said. “I mean, I think it’s awful. And there’s two parts to the rule, I get it. The second part of the rule is a judgment call. For me, it’s a bad judgment, plain and simple.”
