Randy Arozarena was ejected for launching his bat for a bat-flip

Baseball is a very interesting game. In the game of baseball, bat flips are usually a celebration after smashing a home run. But the Rays’ slugger Randy Arozarena had another idea, as he performed his bat flip for an entirely different reason.

Randy was at the plate in the sixth inning of the Saturday game. And he could not connect his bat with the ball. Instead, out of frustration, Randy tossed his bat very high into the air.

After this incident, on-field umpire Junior Valentine ejected Randy for the same. Right from the start, the Tampa Bay Rays tried to win the game against the White Sox. But in the end, they ended up losing 3-2 against the American League Central division champions.
