Rays’ Taylor Walls’ Fiery Ejection Sparks Chaos in Heated Astros Showdown
The issue, it seemed, was that Walls tapped the top of his helmet, the same gesture that players used to call for a challenge throughout spring training. That, however, wasn’t carried over into the regular season.
That gesture, Walls insisted, was accidental.
“I have no recollection of it, but after seeing the video, it looks like I tapped my helmet,” he said. “But it was totally unintentional, something I was not consciously aware of at all. I’m looking right at him when I’m doing it with no sincere, at that point, maybe I was frustrated with the strike call, but there was no sincerity of trying to show the guy up. … He comes out, and he’s like, we’re not doing that. You’re out of here, and tosses me.”
