Say this, it didn’t look pretty. Not even a little.
Andre Ethier, who has a well-earned reputation as one of baseball’s more emotional players, was captured on video screaming at Manager Don Mattingly in the dugout during the bottom of the third inning Thursday.
Justin Turner had led off the with a double. Ethier was up next, and his at-bat was not his best of the night. He took a pitch, a called strike, fouled off a pitch and then flied out to left. Turner remained at second. He never did score.
But when Ethier returned to the dugout, at one point he started screaming at Mattingly, made a couple of firm hand gestures and then angrily walked away, Mattingly left dog-faced and seemingly frustrated.
