Giants manager Bob Melvin tossed before start of Sunday's game vs. Rockies

Bob Melvin didn't wait for the first pitch on Sunday to give the umpires an earful.

For his effort, he was tossed.

The San Francisco Giants manager personally delivered his team's lineup card to crew chief Chris Conroy's umpiring crew ahead of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. It was not a cordial meeting.

The content of the exchange wasn't clear. But the message was. Melvin was displeased. By the time the meeting was over, umpires ejected Melvin from the game.
