The Washington Nationals lost Game 2 of the NLDS in heartbreaking fashion at home Saturday, falling 2-1 in the longest game in MLB postseason history. Nationals manager Matt Williams wasn’t in the dugout to see the finish, though, after being ejected in the bottom of the 10th inning.

Home plate umpire Vic Carapazza tossed Washington’s Asdrubal Cabrera for arguing balls and strikes, and Williams came out to defend his player. Williams shouted a few words at Carapazza, then appeared to tell the umpire “you have got to throw me out of this [expletive] game right now.”

Williams didn’t reveal exactly what he said to Carapazza after the game.

“I thought the 3-1 pitch was a little up. Then, of course, as he thought, the 3-2 pitch was up. Once he was ejected, I went out there. What I said is between me and the umpire.”

It isn’t unusual for a manager to look for an ejection to fire up his team — but it’s a little strange for a manger to willingly remove himself from the game in extra innings of a must-win playoff game.
