Walls ejected after strike one call.

Walls asked for a pitch review and went ballistic when told that wasn’t a thing.

Well, I think he went ballistic after being informed that he was being ejected because review isn’t a thing.

Is that why the ump walked around the catcher and got in his face as he was in the batter’s box?

Winner!

Tapping the helmet is apparently a trigger for umps.

He went out to tell him that he couldn’t ask for a review, that’s not a thing at this level.

The players were warned before the start of the season that tapping the helmet would be an auto ejection

It’s against the rules. So yeah…

I could see a guy new to the majors screwing that up, but Walls hasn’t spent any real time in the minors for a couple of years now. He oughta know better.

Exactly. Which is why it’s an ejection.
