Watch New York Yankees starter C.C. Sabathia go absolutely bananas today as he got into it with home plate umpire Dan Bellino.
By Robby Sabo
They smacked down the Los Angeles Angels by the score of 6-2. Both Chris Young and Brett Gardner provided offense via the home run.
What made it more than phenomenal, though, was how well 34-year old lefty C.C. Sabathia pitched.
His six-innings of work was as solid as it gets. He only yielded two earned runs, five hits and struck out seven over the course of the afternoon.
It was certainly a pleasant surprise for Joe Girardi and company.
What was also a pleasant surprise was his bulldog attitude towards home plate umpire Dan Bellino.
Upset with the strike-zone, Sabathia went absolutely nuts on Bellino as the sixth-inning ended. It was his first ejection since 2006.
As a Yankees fan, you have to love the fierce competitiveness of Sabathia here.
