Red Sox color commentator Will Middlebrooks ripped into an umpire ejecting star first baseman Willson Contreras on Monday, calling it “an absolute joke” and “embarrassing to the game. ” Contreras struck out on a check swing in the second inning and it appeared he did not say a word to the umpire, but instead tapped his head while walking back to the dugout, signaling he wanted to challenge the call. First-base umpire Nic Lentz immediately ejected him from Boston’s 6-3 win.
