Kyle Schwarber had never been ejected from a game for arguing balls and strikes and technically he wasn’t ejected for arguing on Sunday either. After a terrible strike three call to the end the top of the seventh inning, Schwarber tossed his bat in front of the plate and was thrown out by the home plate umpire.
That’s when Schwarber had enough of the shit and made sure to get his money’s worth. Again, the biggest issue isn’t the shitty strike zone, but that the ump ejected Schwarber for nothing.
A complete jackass move that could have been avoided if the ump knew the difference between balls and strikes.
Dumbass ump doesn't know strike zone and then he ejects Kyle Schwarber because he tossed his bat? Jackass ump. Give me the robots now. pic.twitter.com/YexmQ6XIQQ

It was pretty funny to see Javier Baez run up to Schwarber and try to hold him back to avoid things from escalating and Schwarber keeping Baez away with his hand. No doubt Schwarber wanted to get everything he had bottled in out.
Anyway, Schwarber and the Cubs beat the Reds 6-1 in the series finale, winning the series and ending their road trip at 4-2.
