Bob Melvin ejected after Encarnación walks & Vogelbach Goes Deep, a Breakdown

In the bottom of the 8th inning, with the game tied 1-1, Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin is furious after the umpire calls a 3-2 pitch to Edwin Encarnación a ball. Melvin storms out of the dugout, arguing vehemently with the umpire. "Come on, you call that on us but you won't ring them up? That's [expletive]," Melvin shouts. The umpire quickly ejects Melvin from the game. The walk to Encarnación sets up the very next at-bat, where Daniel Vogelbach of the Seattle Mariners steps to the plate. Vogelbach crushes the next pitch for a game-tying two-run home run, sparking a raucous celebration from the Mariners dugout. Melvin continues to argue with the umpire, yelling "Hey, that's [expletive] terrible! [Expletive]!" as he's ejected from the game. The game is now tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 8th inning. Melvin is clearly furious about the previous ball call, which he believes should have been strike three to Encarnación. He unleashes a tirade on the umpire, screaming "Balls over there, balls up there, all strikes! You don't call them for us, you call them for [expletive] them. It's terrible, it's [expletive]!" The umpire has seen enough, tossing Melvin from the game as the Mariners continue to celebrate Vogelbach's game-tying home run. Despite the heated exchange, the Mariners capitalize on the momentum, going on to win the game. Melvin is left frustrated, but his team will have to regroup and move forward without their manager for the remainder of the contest. The rivalry between the Athletics and Mariners continues to simmer, with tensions boiling over in this crucial late-season matchup.
