Angel Hernandez bizarrely ejected Lance Lynn twice (!) … in a spring training game

I have to say it: I’ve never seen this before, and of course it would involve Angel Hernandez, the much-criticized umpire who has missed strike calls and botched all sorts of calls over his career.

Here’s what happened on Friday: Lance Lynn was making his first start in spring training for the St. Louis Cardinals, when the veteran hurler was ejected in the third inning. Per reporter John Denton, Lynn said the two exchanged words over a questionable call and when Lynn pointed out the next pitch was a strike, he got tossed. Again: it’s spring training!

But it got weirder from there. Lynn needed to get some more work in, so he headed to the bullpen. But Hernandez didn’t apparently like that and had Lynn stopped and removed from the bullpen!

There’s video, too:

So weird!
