With two out and one on, Hermida took a 2-2 fastball from Diamondbacks pitcher Tony Pena for a called third strike. Replays indicate the pitch was located above the knees and on the inside corner, the call was correct. At the time of the ejection, the contest was tied, 7-7. The Diamondbacks ultimately won the contest, 11-9."

I just checked the archive of that game...Hermida threw his bat up in the air kinda behind him, never looked at Tichenor and did not appear to say anything. Then Tichenor pointed to that bat and, took off his mask and said something. Then, Hermida said something and got tossed. That one seems a little over the top to me but, oh well. Tichenor has proved his awesomeness to me sufficiently to get the benefit of the doubt.
For those of you with MLBtv, the innings are off on the replay and the audio is WAY off.
