Atlanta Braves ace pitcher Chris Sale experienced a rare ejection by umpire Dan Merzel before even throwing a single pitch. The incident occurred prior to Sunday's game against the New York Yankees at the stadium.
This unusual situation followed closely after Sale had been called for a disputed balk during the previous day's matchup, which had resulted in a run. The tension from that earlier ruling clearly carried over into the next day's pre-game preparations.
Team officials and fans were stunned by the swift disciplinary action taken by the officiating crew. Sale's early departure left the Braves scrambling to adjust their pitching strategy for the opening innings.
The unexpected development immediately became one of the most talked-about events of the baseball weekend.
