VIDEO: Madison Bumgarner Rewind – ejection from Minor League game

By Allan

Most of you may be watching the San Francisco Giant’s starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner take a lead into the 5th inning in Game 4 of the World Series. It’s safe say he’s been pretty dominant against the Texas Rangers hitters so far. He wasn’t always calm under pressure. Let’s rewind back to June of this year when he lost his cool in a Minor League game. Bumgarner (#40) was ejected and then out of frustration he threw a ball into center field. Check out the video:

Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reported in June that Bumgarner “came unglued” after center fielder Eugenio Valez dropped a pop fly that should have been caught. He later had a problem with the umpires. Here’s the report from an eyewitness:

“Then he got into a beef with the first base umpire over a close play while covering first. Then got into a beef with the second base umpire over a pickoff play at second (in the seventh inning). The second base umpire tossed him after he lost his cool. He had to be physically restrained from the umpire by his teammates.”

You’ll notice on the upper-edge of the screen, about the 0:50 mark, a ball is thrown towards center field.
