When the normally mild mannered Scott Emerson got ejected arguing a check swing that was ruled “no swing,” it came as a surprise not only because Emo rarely shows such emotion but also because it was, at worst, a borderline call not a clear injustice.
In all likelihood, though, Emerson was not bent out of shape over the call in question. He was also harboring some resentment from a couple ball-strike calls from earlier in the game. And really, most likely he was carrying the immense frustration of 3 weeks of bizarre losses snatched from the jaws of victory.
