Tony La Russa, Mike Wright suspended for throwing at Shohei Ohtani

On Thursday, Shohei Ohtani was hit by a pitch in the top of the ninth inning in the LA Angels‘ series finale against the Chicago White Sox.

Mike Wright had thrown three pitches nowhere near the zone, and the first two almost hit Ohtani. That last pitch was somehow even worse than the first two he threw at Ohtani and even hit him, despite ShoTime actively trying to dodge the pitch.

As you can see from the video above, both Wright and White Sox Manager Tony La Russa were both ejected, and La Russa even took it out on the bullpen phone.
