Well it was obvious right from the beginning of this video that there were words between Estabrook & Kendall. That's fine. Kendall never turned around and held the mask so it was not obvious that he was raising his voice. The two should have settled up and let it be or Estabrook should have ejected Kendall.
But to walk around a catcher like this is as off-limits as a catcher turning around, facing the umpire - it just isn't done! I will carry on with a catcher as needed then either tell him to end it or I'll dump him. I would never, ever, walk around a catcher like that and continue a conversation.
Of course, I do not blame Yost for coming out - I'm surprised it took as long as it did! As far as Yost's ejection, well, it was inevitable under the circumstances.
So after the game, do you think Estabrook got an earful from the crew chief? He would have gotten an "up one side and down the other" from me, that's for sure! Very bad show, buckoo!
