I lost my (expletive), and I just felt like it was unacceptable.
I didnât know how the third base umpire could be watching a fair-foul ball and then the throw get off and still see the obstruction.
In reality, there was obstruction called. It wasnât adding up in the heat of the moment.
It was the 22nd time in his career that Lovullo has been thrown out of a major league game.
