In his previous AB, he was upset about the calls. He ended up getting a hit in that AB but was still pissed. He was yelling at the ump from the dugout and before his AB began the ump said something along the lines of "watch what you're saying" That's why Tracy said he was provoked. Who knows if Tracy actually thought he was provoked but he's the manager and has to stand up for his players.
Argueing balls and strikes + having a bad rep with umps = short leash.
