Astros' Jose Altuve Ejected vs. Padres For Taking Off Sock And Shoe
Altuve and Padres pitcher Mike Clevinger exchanged words after Clevinger threw a pitch behind Altuve
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was ejected from Friday night's game against the San Diego Padres after taking off his sock and shoe. Padres pitcher Mike Clevinger threw a pitch behind Altuve in the first inning, and Altuve took exception. He started yelling at Clevinger, and the two players had to be separated. In the second inning, Altuve took off his sock and shoe and threw it towards the Padres dugout. He was immediately ejected from the game.
This is the second time this season that Altuve has been ejected from a game. He was also ejected on April 24th for arguing with an umpire
Altuve is one of the most respected players in baseball, and his ejection is sure to be a talking point. It's unclear what will happen to Clevinger, but he could face a suspension for his actions.
Altuve's ejection is a reminder of the tensions that still exist between the Astros and Padres
The two teams have a long history of bad blood, dating back to the 2017 World Series. The Astros were found to have cheated during that series, and the Padres have never forgiven them. The ejection of Altuve is just the latest chapter in this rivalry.
