Gabe Kapler Gets Ejected by Joe West, a breakdown

In a tense matchup between the San Francisco Giants and an opponent, Giants manager Gabe Kapler is ejected by veteran umpire Joe West in the middle of the game. The ejection comes after Giants outfielder Bryce Franco hits a home run off Wilmer Font, followed immediately by another home run from Brad Miller, who celebrates with a tongue-out gesture. Kapler, in his second ejection as a major league manager, approaches West to argue the decision. The 82-year-old opposing pitching coach then comes out to the mound, leading to a heated exchange with Kapler. "You better just [expletive] hit the notes," the coach tells the Giants' hitters, referring to his pitch calls. After the home runs, West issues warnings to both teams, infuriating Kapler. "What for? Joe, you can't come back here," Kapler says, protesting the warning. "What the [expletive] are you waiting to warn us for? You're gone. I told you not to do that. Throwing me out already? What the [expletive] did we do to deserve a [expletive] warning?" Kapler continues arguing passionately, calling West's actions "atrocious" and "irresponsible." He tries to reason with the veteran umpire, who has a long history of confrontations with managers. "That's [expletive] crazy," Kapler says. "Why are you looking at me? That's [expletive] right, news. No, look, you just threw out Gabe Kapler." The ejection occurs in a close game, with the score and inning not specified, but the stakes are high as the Giants battle their opponent. Kapler, known for his fiery demeanor, is visibly upset by West's decision, arguing vehemently in defense of his team. The heated exchange between the young manager and the veteran umpire adds to the drama and tension of the game.
