During a game against the San Francisco Giants, Detroit Tigers' centerfielder Javier Baez was ejected after an argument over a strike call. Baez reacted strongly to umpire Phil Cuzzi's decision, believing he had been wronged. Despite his ejection, the Tigers went on to win the game 3-1. Post-game, Baez emphasized that his issue wasn't with the call itself, but rather how Cuzzi interacted with him, highlighting his desire for respectful communication on the field.
It's not even about the call, it's about how he treated me. I'm not an animal. We can talk, we can argue. And that's it.
Baez prepared to move to first base after a low 3-2 pitch, but was called out with strike three by umpire Phil Cuzzi, leading to his ejection.
