MLB Fans Called for Ump’s Job Over His Childish Move Before Ejecting Blue Jays' Pitching Coach

We’ve seen a lot of strange ejections so far in the 2023 Major League Baseball season and the one that happened Tuesday night in Toronto might have jumped to the top of that list. 

Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker went out to visit the mound, where he talked with his pitcher, Alek Manoah, like he would on any mound visit.

Home plate umpire Malachi Moore, who had made some bad calls before this moment, immediately made his way to the mound and was seen listening in on the conversation. A few seconds later he ejected Walker, who was never even looking in Moore’s direction.

Here's another view of Moore eavesdropping in on the visit:

That really did seem like Moore knew what he was doing and that he was just looking to eject Walker from the game before he even walked out to the mound, which is a pretty lame thing to do.
