Joey Bart lost the battle between two former Giants first-round draft picks Friday, and then he lost his spot in the lineup.
After taking what was a very questionable called third strike against Brewers pitcher Phil Bickford -- San Francisco's 2015 first-round pick -- in the ninth inning of a tied spring training game Friday, Bart was unable to contain his frustration and let home plate umpire Ryan Blakney hear it. Before Giants manager Gabe Kapler could intervene, Blakney sent Bart to the showers.
It wasn't for a lack of trying on Kapler's part.
