Dave Martinez lost his mind.
Martinez, seemingly over with Eddings’ strike zone, traded barbs with the umpire from the dugout before he bounded toward the plate.“OK, you’re done, ” Eddings responded. “You’re gonna cheap shot me?”Martinez could’ve hit the showers, but instead, he gave the sparse crowd at Nationals Park a little extra something.
The manager stormed back out to the plate, first dusting it off and then kicking it before — while still going off on Eddings — he laid down on his stomach next to home plate and aggressively gestured with his hands how low the pitches that were deemed strikes were thrown. It wasn’t the first time that Martinez blew up at an umpiring crew this month, as just last week, he went berserk over a game-ending decision against the Astros that the Nationals ended up on the losing side of.He was so perturbed over the perceived missed call that heafter the game and showed reporters how he felt the umpires got it wrong.
But Martinez’s performance on Thursday is one of the only things Nationals fans had to cheer about during the game. The Nationals — now 28-46 — sit in last place in the National League East and are barely above the Rockies at the depths of the whole National League."Remember, there's not a lot of fans here and I can hear everything you're saying."
