Jon Rauch Ejected From Jays/Phillies Game in Epic Fashion

Let me set the scenario for this one. Top of the 9th. Philadelphia Phillies at-bat up 4-3. Jon Rauch comes on to pitch for the Toronto Blue Jays. Chase Utley was on 1st with 2 outs when Ryan Howard came to the plate. With a 2-2 count Jon Rauch threw two pitches that could have been called strikes to draw a walk. The next batter, Shane Victorino, single in Utley to give the Phillies a 5-3 lead and then Rauch went ape-shit on the ump about the 2 pitches he called balls which would have ended the inning without that run. Keep in mind Jon Rauch is 6'11" and weighs 251.

It was like trying to hold back The Hulk and Superman combined. When his manager, John Farrell, came out to restrain him and ripped his jersey off it instantly became my favorite part of the 2011 first half. What is it with July and tantrums? MLB should scrap the home run derby next week and instead have a 12 round bout between Jon Rauch and Brian Wilson. I'd take Rauch in a 3rd round knockout.

The last two pitches looked good but luckily for us there's a website called Brooks Baseball that tracks every single pitch in baseball and shows it's exact location. Ball 3 (pitch #5) was close but the ump was calling that a strike all game. Ball 4 (pitch #6) well, even this kid knew it was a strike. I'm going to hell but I love technology so hopefully they have that there!
