The Mets have never seen Buck Showalter like this.

Showalter was ejected from Tuesday night’s game in Cincinnati after arguing a call at second base in the bottom of the fifth, his first time getting the heave-ho as the Mets’ manager.

The 66-year-old Showalter appeared to believe the Reds’ Will Myers interfered with a live ball hit in play, and his complaints earned him the a trip to the showers from crew chief Mark Wegner.
