In case you missed it, Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell was ejected for arguing balls and strikes following a Dustin Pedroia strikeout during the second inning of Monday's ALDS Game 4 against the Houston Astros (GameTracker):

Because it's rare for a skipper to get tossed during the postseason, and because the game took place during work hours for most people, we decided to round up some of the best and funniest reactions from Twitter.
We'll start with the funny.
Farrell just got run. Sox' chances might have just gone up.

Now on to the clear-eyed and reasonable.
If you are Dustin Pedroia, you can’t risk getting yourself run. That’s what he did. Good on Farrell — repeat, good on Farrell — to intervene

Pedroia probably should have been ejected there, but Farrell took it for him instead.

It's fair to wonder whether John Farrell's final act as Red Sox manager will have been getting ejected from a playoff game.

John Farrell getting himself ejected before bad weather and Chris Sale about to collide. He wanted nothing to do with this perfect storm
