Phillies OF Kyle Schwarber Furious With Umpire After Called Third Strike

Phillies left fielder Kyle Schwarber was irate after a called third strike in the ninth inning on Sunday night against the Brewers.

With Philadelphia trailing 1–0 late, Schwarber took a called third strike on a pitch that appeared to be well off the outside corner.

He then slammed his bat down and threw his helmet, which led to home plate umpire Angel Hernandez to eject him from the ball game.

After spewing expletives in the direction of Hernandez, Schwarber said “All night…both sides!,” insinuating that the umpire had made poor calls at the plate for both the Brewers and the Phillies on Sunday night.
