In what would be widely seen as a Bitch Move, Washington Nationals manager Matt Williams appears to have asked an umpire to kick him out of the game during an argument in the NLDS playoffs. Williams rushed onto the field to argue balls and strikes, which is against the rules because somebody in 1919 decided it was unsporting to protest perhaps the most subjective and often errants calls in the entire sport.. During the 9th inning dust-up, Williams appears to have asked for his own ejection.
“You have got to throw me out of this fucking game right now!”
There are legends of old school managers asking umps to kick them out of games so they can go hit the buffet or throw back a cocktail or just wanted an early quitting time to go bang the fat wife. But usually you have to earn it with some dirt kicking, swearing, and that disturbing kissably close-faced spray it, don’t say it argument with the umpire. Williams succeeded in getting tossed and got to skip the rest of the seven hour ordeal and watch his team lose from an air conditioned office with his feet up on his desk like a gentleman.
Once his player realize Williams requested his ejection, they will more than likely hang up their cleats for life and lack the basic motivation to get out of bed in the morning. They will die alone in a rented room above a Manila bar thinking about what an enormous pussy their trusted manager had been. Or, it’s possibly almost none of them speak English and won’t give a shit either way.
