GIF: Angels' Cowgill ejected for ankle-flipping

Umpire Paul Nauert is tired of all this flipping nonsense in baseball.
Not only do umpires have to tolerate numerous bat and hair flips (thanks Bryce Harper) on a nightly basis, but now a new variation of flipping is mainstream thanks to Los Angeles Angels outfielder Collin Cowgill.
Cowgill wasn't happy with striking out in the seventh inning of Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Houston Astros, and accidentally sent his ankle guard flying Nauert's way in frustration.

Cowgill was then hilariously ejected by the home plate umpire for his carelessness. He did, however, say the incident was accidental and unfortunate following the game.
