Taylor Walls ejected, has to be restrained in heated argument during Rays' 1-0 loss to Houston
HOUSTON — Tampa Bay Rays infielder Taylor Walls was ejected Sunday in the ninth inning of a 1-0 loss to Houston and had to be restrained during a prolonged argument.
Walls appeared to tap his helmet after taking a called strike, which is a signal for challenging a call when the Automated Ball-Strike System is used. The ABS is not, however, being used in regular-season big league games yet, and plate umpire Nic Lentz seemed to take issue with the gesture. The clash escalated from there, with Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash coming out to talk to Lentz and try to keep Walls away from him.

Rivals250 OL Reed Ramsier sky high on Texas after earning offer at camp
Orlando (Fla.) The First Academy offensive lineman Reed Ramsier kicked off an ambitious camp tour with a stop in Austin Monday. The four-star worked with offensive line coach Kyle Flood all day and came away with a Texas football offer before leaving the 40 Acres. Advertisement "Coach Flood offered me by the pool," Ramsier told Rivals. "Said he only offers guys that he wants to help win national championships for the program. Loves my feet and my hands. He's excited to have a reason to come down to Florida to recruit me. "I wouldn't say I was surprised but at the same time I wasn't guaranteed an offer just for being there, I still had to compete and ball out." The work and overall impression at Texas, combined with the offer, shoots the Longhorns pretty high on Ramsier's list of early contenders despite more than 20 offers to his name. "They are near the top on my list, no question," he said. "I'm excited to see where the relationship with Coach Flood and Texas goes. He is the best in the business. He would coach me up every time after a drill or rep of 1on1." Advertisement Each side talked about the Floridian getting back to town for a game in the fall, something the rising-junior says should be settled sooner rather than later.

"UT was awesome," Ramsier said. "Just a great camp and visit. Talked to the coaches for 45 minutes. Overall great time and I can't wait to get up to a game in the fall!" Advertisement The big blocker isn't sitting back despite the new offer. He will camp at Clemson Tuesday before a trek to Ohio State Thursday of this week. He will work out at Alabama and Georgia -- each already on the offer list -- on June 10 and 12, respectively. Ramsier has been on quite the offer run this spring, with much of the SEC jumping in with scholarship offers. Visits to Clemson, Miami, Florida State and Oklahoma also went down in recent months.
