Just heard the reason Minnesota's coach was tossed yesterday. The bench had been chirping about balls and strikes all day. When Anderson went out to the mound to make a pitching change, he turned to the home plate umpire from the mound and yelled something to the effect of "this is what happens when you don't call strikes."
