Lincoln Saltdogs Manager James Frisbie Hurls First Base After Ejection in 2-Minute Tirade

Summary
James Frisbie, 53, was ejected Wednesday night and responded by ripping up first base and throwing it during a nearly two-minute argument with the umpire.
A disputed call at first base triggered the outburst, though the available replay in the report did not clearly show an obvious blown call.
The former MLB assistant with the Tigers and Nationals added dirt kicks, finger-pointing and near-contact, turning the scene into a rare old-school managerial meltdown.
The episode stood out as baseball's ABS challenge system and instant replay have reduced the kind of umpire disputes that once regularly led to ejections.
