Don’t lose your temper.
Three innings after Willson Contreras was ejected for asking a question, tilting his head to the side, walking away and slamming his bat in the ground I was still silently fuming on my couch unable to enjoy the Cubs four run lead in the eighth. This isn’t new, I’ve seen this kind of ejection before, I’ve even written about it on this site before.
But it is still infuriating.
