Umpire shoves Baez out of way during play at plate
MLB.com
Don't get in the way of umpire Eric Cooper or you may feel his wrath.
Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Baez stood in Cooper's line of sight during a play at home plate on Friday and in exchange for being too close, he received a forcible shove from the man in charge.
After pushing an excited Baez to the side, Cooper was able to clearly see a sliding David Ross score the game's second run, as the Cubs eventually routed the Mariners 12-1.
Baez will surely know to signal his teammates from a better, more far off, position in the future.
