In the first inning against the Minnesota Twins today, Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected dramatically for arguing an interference call.
You can see on the video that Cora becomes infuriated with the umpires after they allow Twins superstar Byron Buxton to advance to 3rd base on an interference call during a pickoff attempt by the Sox pitcher.
Holy Hell. Alex Cora just went berserk after Vaughn Grissom was called for interference.
Grissom dropped his knee on the pickoff attempt. Then was moved over to 3B.

Here is the Interference Call
After the game, Cora spoke to the media about the situation that got him ejected, and let's just say, he was not pleased about it.
"He blocked the bag. He did," Cora said after the game. "But the whole mechanism, I didn't like. It took them to argue and then Alan called time to get together. They got the call right, but you're right there -- just call it."
What so you think about this? Did the umpires make the right call?
