Shelton said Suwinski was one of the “calmest” players on the team, and that his frustration should be noted.

“Jack never reacts,” Shelton said. “For him to react like that, and then for the clock to start again that quick I don’t think I was extremely happy about that. As you can tell from the tone of my voice and the raspiness of my voice right now.”

Shelton said he was not frustrated with the umpire’s calls before this at bat, but thought those two calls were infuriating.

“I thought it was two pitches at that at bat. … You guys can look at them and tell me what you think.”
