The frustration Derek Holland has felt the past two months boiled over on Friday night in a rant against plate umpire Bill Welke after the White Sox fell 9-3 to the Cleveland Indians.
Holland said he was particularly upset with how the crew chief flinched as if he would call a strike in the top of the fourth inning (it was called a ball) and then informed the pitcher he intended to show him up for the response to the no-call.
Down a run with two on and one out, Holland threw what appeared to be a strike to Brandon Guyer on the first pitch.
