Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo symbolically "tossed" all four umpires out of the game after being ejected himself during Wednesday's game in San Francisco.
It happened in the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs and Giants runners on first and second with the D-backs leading 8-6. Lovullo was arguing with first base umpire Mark Ripperger after Giants left fielder Heliot Ramos reached base on an infield single. After Ripperger finally got fed up with Lovullo and ejected him, Lovullo pointed at all four umpires and gave them the "ejection". Lovullo then got in the face of third base umpire Nic Lentz and gave him an earful as he was trying to walk away before Ripperger stepped in and attempted to calm him down.

Lovullo is not afraid to defend his team and makes sure to get his money's worth when arguing with the umps. This time, he surely put on a good show.
The D-backs managed to get the third out to end the inning without giving up a run, then held on in the ninth for an 8-7 win.
