As a player, Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell was never ejected from a game. He earned his first ejection four months into the regular season of his first season at the helm of the Brewers. His ejection on Sunday was eighth of his managerial career, but it came with cause.
What happened on Sunday?
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jett Bandy was called out on a very borderline pitch from Mets starter Noah Syndergaard in the fifth inning on Sunday. He started to argue with home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt. Counsell ran out to cover for his player, and was tossed as soon as he motioned toward Wendelstedt.
