I thought the first punch out was justified. If not, it was definitely too close of a pitch to take. The second one wasn't even close. But the way he got tossed was ridiculous, on both ends. The ump didn't see him toss the pad so he just assumed Manny threw it and tossed him anyway. It was a justified offense (if seen), but one of the base umps who saw it should have tossed him. As fas as Manny just being Manny, it was just stupid. I would have more respect if he would have stayed there and jawed with the ump and get tossed that way. Instead of just doing something stupid with a 5 run lead. It almost looks like he wanted to spend the rest of the night in the clubhouse. But,why not a 5-0 lead in Citi field these days is insurmountable. But it was still a stupid/busch move.
