    MLB umpires ejected Jose Altuve after losing his cool due to controversial call

    It's not often Houston Astros star Jose Altuve loses his cool.

    However, the rare instance took place Sunday afternoon against the New York Mets when Altuve was ejected after exploding due to a controversial call.

    At the end of the seventh inning, Altuve grounded out to finish frame but argued that the ball hit his foot. When the call wasn't overturned, Altuve blew up on the umpire crew, slamming his helmet down and immediately yelling.

    This led to a quick ejection.

    Altuve may have had an argument in this one. Replays showed the possibility of the batted ball touching Altuve's cleats. It's not often Altuve blows up like he did, and he certainly got his money's worth.
