Giants coach Antoan Richardson, whose ejection led to Alyssa Nakken's historic debut, has accused Padres coach Mike Shildt of yelling an expletive at him that 'reeked undertones of racism.'
coach Mike Shildt of yelling an expletive at him that"reeked undertones of racism."
"[Shildt] yelled, 'You need to control that motherf---er,'" Richardson told reporters."At that point in time, I went to the top step and said, 'Excuse me?' because I couldn't believe what I heard. At that point in time, Gibson, the crew chief, decided to toss me from the game. Richardson said he did not curse or use any vulgar language at any point during the incident but was told he was ejected for"instigating."
Giants manager Gabe Kapler told reporters that he did not hear what Shildt said but that he agreed that the ejection was unwarranted and supports Richardson. "I'm really excited that Alyssa got her opportunity to make her major league debut, and I'm very proud of her," Richardson said."I think she did a really wonderful job, and we got a win, so that's the most important thing."
