"What exactly did Matt Kemp say to earn a swift ejection in the fifth inning Saturday?

"I'm not getting into that," he said

Well, at least crew chief Tom Hallion was happy to share the umpire's side of the story.

In the fifth, the Dodgers outfielder complained about the first pitch during his at-bat, Hallion said after the Dodgers' 6-1 loss to the Angels at Dodger Stadium.

Then, on a called strike three, which looked to have been a tad outside the strike zone, Kemp walked back to the dugout.

But once there, Hallion said, Kemp yelled out: "Keep it on the plate; let's go."

If true, it seems a misdemeanor offense, since it lacked R-rated vitriol.

Yet prior to saying that, Hallion said, Kemp had twice been warned by home plate umpire Chris Conroy for making remarks from the dugout.

"He told him that's enough," Hallion said. "He said, 'That's time to knock it off.' And then he yelled it out after that."

Kemp barreled out of the dugout to argue his ejection, which was his second of the season and third of his career.

And Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly was right behind him, ready to deliver his two cents, too."
