    The bat boy got ejected. The Bandits are the minor league team where Cags made his debut last season!

    This minor league bat boy apparently crossed the line.

    A Single-A ball boy seemingly earned a rare ejection Thursday when the home plate umpire appeared to gave him the boot after he handed him a few balls and did something that surprised the official.

    Umpire Richy Arredondo had a mystified look on his face after receiving balls and then seeing the Quad Cities River Bandits’ bat boy look back at him. Arredondo then seemed to eject the individual.

    Ah, did Mister Umpire get his whittle feelings hurt. Waa Waa Waa. Looks to me the umpire is lucky the ball boy didn't try to bean him with those balls. Seems all he did was plop 3 balls into his mask a little harder than normal and that was enough for the ump to excuse him. If I'm the head coach, I follow that by setting the ball bucket outside the dugout and say come get them yourself.

    That batboy will no longer have used jock straps placed over his face. He is now one of them.
