It's safe to say that Blue Jays manager John Gibbons and MLB umpires are not seeing eye-to-eye this week.
Gibbons was ejected from Toronto's 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays Sunday afternoon for arguing a balk call with home plate umpire Jeremie Rehak, marking the third time in five days the Toronto skipper has been dismissed early from a game.
Gibbons has now failed to see the end of back-to-back games, having also been thrown out of Toronto's 5-3 loss to the Rays on Saturday for arguing balls and strikes with home plate umpire CB Bucknor.
The 55-year-old approached Bucknor after the top half of the eighth inning, seemingly frustrated with an inconsistent strikezone, and made sure his feelings were heard.
Gibbons was also tossed from Toronto's 4-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday for arguing a check swing non-call with home plate umpire Dan Bellino.
Teoscar Hernandez tried to hold up his bat on a 3-2 pitch with one out in the third inning, but was called out and Twins catcher Jason Castro alertly threw down to second base to double up Aledmys Diaz, who was running on the play.
Diaz had slowed down thinking Hernandez held up on what would've been ball four, but first base umpire Phil Cuzzi ruled that Jays outfielder didn't check his swing.
Gibbons has now been ejected 47 times in nearly 1,500 games as the Blue Jays' manager.
