There was a pitch that was on the outside corner called a ball to a Dodgers batter. A little later there was a very late Dodgers challenge of a play at second on the front end of an inning ending double play. Reds were in the dugout and it was in commercial but it was granted and runner was safe. It was the right call but still very late. But the final straw was a pitch to Iglasias that was clearly low but called a strike. Bell started yelling from the bench and after about a minute was tossed. He came out and got his money's worth eventually being held back by the 1st base ump and Freedie Benevides. Do love the passion.
I do like a manager that will stick up for the players. I don’t want him to do well, he just has a ton of learning to do. The hitting has been way bad too, you won’t win many games if you can’t score more than 2 runs a game.
