The Marlins pulled Hanley Ramirez out of Monday night's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the second inning after a play in which hit literally booted a ball into the left field corner, then jogged after it. This isn't "booted" in baseball parlance, meaning an error on an easy play, either; I mean he reached down to pick up a flare off of Tony Abreu's bat that landed just beyond his reach in shallow left field and instead, kicked the ball far away from him into the left field corner.
He didn't hurry after the ball either, and as he took his time chasing after it and picking it up, two runners scored and Abreu ended up on third instead of on first.
On the Diamondbacks' broadcast of the game, there was a brief discussion over whether he was injured and the Marlins are now saying he left the game with a sore ankle after fouling a ball off of it in the first, but Fredi Gonzalez was also seen lecturing his young star in the dugout after the embarrassing play.
Of course, Gonzalez also said before the game that he was looking for his club to play some better defense, and turning a single into a two-run triple is pretty much the opposite of that.
The Marlins confirmed that it was Ramirez's lack of hustle that got him pulled from the game after the 5-1 loss to Arizona.
In his post-game briefing with the media, Gonzalez admitted the effort wasn't there from his superstar.
"There's 24 [other] guys busting their butts," he said of pulling Ramirez from the game.
When asked if there would be any additional punishment for Ramirez, Gonzalez replied with a question of his own.
"You need more embarrassment other than being taken out of a major league game?"
