Mets RHP Max Scherzer was ejected from Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers. Scherzer lasted just three innings, before getting tossed by umpire Phil Cuzzi.

The umpires had issues with Scherzer's glove in the 3rd inning, and made him switch. Scherzer was obviously unhappy.

Then, going into the 4th inning, Scherzer got his glove checked again and was even more unhappy. That ultimately led to his ejection. We don't know if he got ejected for the sticky stuff or for the arguing, but his agent, Scott Boras, spoke to reporters after the game and wasn't very happy.

"MLB standards and rules enforcement should mandate and require an objective verifiable standard. If you want to attack the integrity of the competition you need clear precise standards (or) else you damage the game and its players. The Cuzzi on field spectrometer is not the answer. MLB needs to employ available scientific methods (not subjective) to create verifiable certainty of its rules."

I look forward to hearing what Scherzer has to say, and what the MLB has to say.
