Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown underwent a massive meltdown on Thursday after he was out on the game-ending third strike that resulted in his team’s another loss. Brown was called out on a 2-2 pitch that appeared off the plate towards the end of the 9th during Thursday’s 2-1 loss to Seattle.
The outfielder got angry and immediately went ballistic on home plate umpire Nic Lentz, voicing a bunch of f-bombs. At one point, Seth Brown was also heard yelling, “f— your dad and f— your mom” at Lentz.
The game between Oakland and Seattle had another horrific moment where the Mariners’ star pitcher Ty France suffered an elbow injury which led him to exit the field. Later reports suggested that France had to undergo an MRI as the damage was detected on the X-ray.
After receiving some basic treatment, France talked about hopefully getting back to action soon. “I think that's every first baseman's fear, is that happening,” France said. “I didn't even think it was a possibility right there, and next thing I know, my arm was getting ripped off.” "We're playing good baseball, and I feel good at the plate and all that," France said, "so hopefully I'm able to get back out there.”
Seattle manager Scott Servais addressed France’s injury and said, “I'm still concerned. We're not out of the woods by any means. Certainly, he's a key cog in our offence. He's been so consistent all year long. You know what you're going to get from him every day, and not having him in there is going to be tough. Hopefully, it's just a short amount of time.”
