Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto was ejected from Monday’s spring training game against the Toronto Blue Jays after a bizarre interaction with home plate umpire Randy Rosenberg.

The incident occurred in the bottom of the fourth inning with Craig Kimbrel pitching for the Phillies. After Kimbrel was hit with a pitch-clock violation, Rosenberg attempted to give Realmuto a ball, but the catcher appeared to accidentally move his glove out of the way and the ball dropped to the ground.

Rosenberg then looked at Realmuto and tossed him from the game. It appeared Rosenberg thought Realmuto took his glove out of the way on purpose, but even he was stunned.
