WATCH: Nico Hoerner, Craig Counsell ejected by inexperienced umpire

---

A young umpire with a short leash ejected Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner after a questionable called third strike during Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Manager Craig Counsell came out to stand up for his player, and didn’t last long either. He was tossed moments later.

Watch the double ejection drama unfold:
