BOSTON RED SOX star David Ortiz was so peeved at what he deemed to be dubious strike-out calls that he piled into an unfortunately placed dug-out phone.
The slugger took exception to striking out, with his team leading the Baltimore Orioles 7-2 [they won 7-3], that he bashed the phone to smithereens. Ortiz had to be restrained by Red Sox coaches and teammates.

Speaking to reporters, including one from Fox Sports, post-match, ‘Big Papi’ said, “I don’t pitch, I don’t play defence, I hit. You’re not going to take my at-bat away from me. Period.”
He reasoned that he did not lose his cool every match but admitted that he may have ‘looked like the bad guy’.
