I am still trying to figure out why Clevenger was ejected last night. Did I miss something?
When he put his hands on Harper’s chest, that was a no no. he could have blocked the way but as soon as he touched Harper he was out of the game. I know it didn’t look like much, just a rookie who was standing up for his pitcher, but them’s the rules.
