Victor Robles Ejected After Incident in Minor League Game
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles was ejected from a minor league game while on a rehab assignment with the Triple-A Tacoma team. The incident occurred on Sunday after Robles was nearly hit by an inside pitch and then threw his bat towards the pitcher.
In the third inning, the first pitch from Las Vegas’s opener, Joey Estes, was inside. Robles tried to dodge it, and in doing so, dropped the bat.
After picking up the bat, Robles threw it in Estes’ direction, which led to his immediate ejection by the home plate umpire, Joe McCarthy.
Robles, who had been hit by a pitch on three occasions during his last four games with Tacoma, advanced toward the mound while yelling at the pitcher, but was stopped by McCarthy and the Las Vegas teammates.
After heading to the dugout, Robles threw a box of snacks onto the field before retreating to the clubhouse.
