Trey Hillman's EJ

I watched this and although only part of the argument is seen, I am almost wondering if this isn't a case where a manager asked to be run....It looks like Reynolds never gets heated with Trey and as Trey points in his face he appears to say "You're right". The weird part is that after he gets dumped, Hillman turns around and jogs back to the dugout. When was the last time you saw a manager get dumped and stoically jog back to the dugout? Something is fishy here...

Would you want to watch the Royals? Kind of like when Griffey was sleeping, would you want to watch the Mariners?

I agree...Hillman says "Good Job, Good Job...You're right." and runs off the field. He was getting tossed on purpose.

I have a hard time watching the Indians,

. They lost a game to the Angels a couple of weeks ago on a walk-off bunt single,

I read his lips to be saying "You know I'm right" before jogging off.

Regardless, this hapless Royals fan knows Trey Hillman to be an idiot, and can't wait until he finishes out his contract.

As happy as a Royals fan can be.

Ii wonder if Hillman, after watching the replay, went back and apologized to the umpire....
...and kudos to the umpire for standing his ground without escalating things.

For what it's worth, he did publicly say that he was wrong and Reynolds got it right.
