SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants had the tying run at second base in the ninth inning Sunday afternoon when Heliot Ramos took the final pitch. It was borderline low and clearly inside but close enough for plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt, who flapped an arm to signify a third strike and seal the Los Angeles Angels’ 4-3 victory.The Giants were out of challenges. The game was over. There was nothing to be done. There was no sense in arguing. Wendelstedt went one way, handing a baseball from his saddle bag to a little girl in the stands before trudging to the umpire’s room. Giants manager Tony Vitello went another way, shuffling a few papers before heading up the tunnel to the home clubhouse. The Giants won a series, which a team never takes for granted, but that’s a cold comfort when they still haven’t swept one this season. On the cusp of accomplishing it for the first time, they were dismissed like a steward holding a gravy boat.The Giants have two more months of baseball on the schedule. There will be more controversial calls. There will be more umpiring decisions that require clarification. There will be times when Vitello has to back up one of his players or seek an explanation or ask for a crew chief review or make a not-so-gentle point when he senses that, as it happens so often to teams mired in the standings, the calls seem to keep going the other way.And if the umpire on the receiving end decides that Vitello has overstayed his welcome, he’ll draw an ejection. That’s when Vitello’s infield coach, Ron Washington, who managed 10 major league seasons with the Angels and Texas Rangers, will chime in with the only piece of advice that he sees fit to offer the Giants’ rookie skipper.“Start getting your money’s worth,” Washington said. “If he gets tired of being run, then make sure next time you get your money’s worth. Because he’s going to have to pay (the fine) regardless.”Vitello has been ejected three times this season. In at least two of them, the hook appeared to come quickly. The latest and most egregious example came last Wednesday at Kansas City when the Giants were denied a replay request on a tag play at second base because umpire Mike Estabrook made the dubious determination that shortstop Willy Adames pushed the Royals’ Vinnie Pasquantino off the bag.Vitello argued the controversial decision, and while returning to the dugout, he repeated twice that it was a “big call” in the game. Apparently, that was enough for crew chief Lance Barrett to eject him.
