Walker Buehler was tossed late in Friday night’s game against the New York Mets after expressing his frustration with two of home plate umpire Nester Ceja’s calls during a previous at-bat. The Dodgers hurler allowed an RBI infield single by first baseman Pete Alonso during a then 3-1 ball game. That ended up being the determining factor in the right-handed ace being lifted in the top of the eighth inning.
As he was walking towards the dugout, Buehler shouted towards Ceja for a few missed calls. That would include Alonso’s single, which Walker believed had hit his foot in the box and should’ve been called foul.
