Jean Segura responds to ump’s terrible strike call by marking it in the dirt, gets tossed

You know the drill: You can’t argue balls and strikes (well, at least for now. Someday you might be arguing with robot umpires!) or you’ll probably get tossed.

That’s what happened to Jean Segura. The Miami Marlins infielder got a third strike called on him against the St. Louis Cardinals’ Chris Stratton. The ball was very much low and outside, so Segura had a good eye.
