Brief
Diamondbacks’ Torey Lovullo dramatically ejects umpires after his own ejection in a heated game against the Giants, sparking viral baseball drama.
In a fiery display at Wednesday’s clash against the San Francisco Giants, Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo turned a routine ejection into a theatrical spectacle. Down 8-7 in the eighth inning, Lovullo was tossed after disputing an obstruction call involving his player Jordan Lawlar and Giants’ Christian Koss. Not one to exit quietly, he pointed at each umpire, dramatically "ejecting" them in a playful Uno reverse move before storming off.
Post-game, Lovullo admitted the umpires got it right. "They’re really good," he said, chuckling at his own outburst. The call stemmed from Koss advancing to second, only to be tagged out after Lawlar’s obstruction—a decision that sparked Lovullo’s ire but ultimately held up.
The Diamondbacks clinched a narrow victory, boosting their record to 23-21, while the Giants fell to 25-19. Lovullo’s antics, though, stole the show, proving once again that baseball’s drama extends beyond the scoreboard.
