"Tumultuous and exciting. Somewhat embarrassing," Skipworth said after arriving in St. Louis for the start of a three-game series. "You don't really want to be known for what happened on Saturday."
Skipworth, who was thrown out of the game while positioned behind the plate, stripped off all of his catching equipment during a heated argument. Kelly followed with a demonstration where he ejected the umpires and rubbed a rosin bag under his arm pits.
"It was one of those things, competitive nature, you feel like you have calls going against you, and an umpire kind of gets out of line," Skipworth said.
