Larry Bowa is an absolute rat. He is on MLB Network right now talking about the West ejection of Gardenhire and DiMuro ejection of Mattingly last night. He says that Gardenhire should get a lot of leeway because he has been around a long time and has had good teams. Says that you're not supposed to argue balls and strikes, but West shouldn't have ejected him. Also defended Francona when Angel Hernandez dumped him the other night after the balk. Criticized West for putting his hands on Francona and said that his beef wasn't with West, but West "prevented Francona from finding out what the balk was about". (Too bad he'd already been dumped and West was playing rodeo clown)

His defense of the Mattingly ejection was even worse. He claims that Mattingly and Uribe handled it good, then goes on to trash DiMuro. He says the ball was trapped, even though it looks like it hit F7's webbing in his glove. Bowa goes on to say that Mattingly "Obviously had a better viewpoint from the bench". The worse part is Bowa lying about DiMuro saying that DiMuro told Mattingly that he wasn't sure about the call. Of course then we get the "All he had to do was go ask another umpire and no one would be ejected". (Except for the Pirates manager if the call was reversed. Not to mention there was a runner on first and you would be changing a catch to a no-catch) Also said that DiMuro should have went to ask for help "Out of respect". He is a piece of crap.
