Cubs coach threw drink at ump after Bryant injury


Kris Bryant left Sunday's game between the Cubs and Rockies after he took a 96 mph fastball to the head from German Marquez in the first inning.

While Bryant remained on his feet, he was noticeably shaken as Joe Maddon and the Cubs trainers assisted him to the clubhouse.

The Cubs, though, thought there was intent behind the pitch. And both Cubs hitting coach Chili Davis and assistant hitting coach Andy Haines were ejected. Haines' ejection came after he tossed his drink towards the direction of umpire Cory Blaser.

It should be noted that Bryant was hit on an 0-2 count. If Marquez was trying to hit Bryant, it's unlikely it would have came in that situation. Marquez did go on to give up three runs in the first inning after hitting Bryant.
