During the seventh inning of Toronto’s game against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night, Springer got into a heated altercation with home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez.

After being dismissed, Blue Jays batter Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and manager John Schneider had to hold Springer back.

I am aware of the regulation. He is aware of the regulation. After the Blue Jays defeated the Astros 6-1, Springer remarked, “I was just kind of in shock at that call.” “You will be automatically ejected if you contest the call in that circumstance. I understand.

Springer stated At first, Gonzalez informed him that the angle Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe used to stop the ball in the ground prevented him from seeing the play clearly. The Blue Jays contested the call at that point.

After examining all pertinent angles, Major League Baseball indicated via email that replay official Adrian Johnson was unable to conclusively determine that the ball struck Springer’s foot.

Gonzalez, according to Springer, told him what the playback showed. After expressing his annoyance, Springer was disqualified while going to grab his bat, which made him lose his cool.

I have to improve. Springer remarked, “I don’t want my sons to see me get that mad because there are kids in the stands.”

Gonzalez and the umpiring team were not available for comment because the Commissioner’s Office is submitting a report regarding the ejection for review.

Springer is sure that he was struck in the foot and stated he will accept a fine or potential suspension if it comes to it.

I don’t require access to the replay. If it didn’t hit me, I won’t say it didn’t happen. Springer remarked, “I know it hit me in the foot, but it is what it is.
