Tampa Bay Rays left-hander David Price accused home plate umpire Tom Hallion of swearing at him after he threw his last pitch against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.

Facing his last batter of the game in the seventh inning, Price took a step toward the dugout after he thought he threw strike three to Dewayne Wise. After Price retired Wise on a comebacker, Price and Hallion exchanged words as Price walked to the dugout.

Hallion walked toward Price as the two appeared to be yelling at each other.

"It was a perfect pitch. It is. I really don't know why he (Wise) swung at the next one, because it was in the exact same spot," Price said. "I'm walking off the mound I'm just mad at myself. I didn't say a single word or look at him. He (Hallion) yells at me."

According to the Tampa Bay Times, Price said Hallion told him to "throw the ball over the f------ plate."

Hallion vehemently denied Price's claim."I'll come right out bluntly and say he's a liar," Hallion told a pool reporter. "I said, 'Just throw the ball.' That's all I said to him."
