In this day and age, it is becoming more commonplace for managers to get ejected from games after arguing with umpires over incorrect calls.
Such was the case on Tuesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago.
In a game between the Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers, Texas manager Bruce Bochy was tossed.
Catcher Jonah Heim was called for blocking home plate in the bottom of the eighth, which allowed the White Sox to score the go-ahead run.
Not too long after he ran onto the field, Bochy was ejected.
On Twitter, MLB on FOX posted the video of Bochy’s ejection.

The Rangers had rallied to take a 6-4 lead in the top of the eighth.
However, the White Sox began to chip away and ultimately took the lead.
Elvis Andrus was originally called out at the plate after Travis Jankowski delivered a strike from left field.
Andrus pointed to the White Sox dugout, demanding a review.
After the review, it was determined that Heim had blocked the plate and not given Andrus enough of the plate to score the run.
Arguing after a review typically results in an automatic ejection, which is what took place for Bochy in the eighth.
Fortunately for the Rangers, Heim managed to stay in the game, but the same could not be said for the three-time World Series champion manager.
The White Sox held on to win by a final of 7-6 over the Rangers.
