The Orioles clobbered the Yankees, 14–1, Thursday night in the Bronx, but manager Brandon Hyde didn’t get to see the end of the game as he was ejected in the eighth inning with his team up by 14 runs.
Hyde, who later called it the “weirdest” ejection of his life, went out to talk to the umpires after both benches got warnings after a Baltimore batter was hit by a pitch. He was understandably confused about why his team would need a warning and wanted to get some clarification.
Instead, he got tossed from the game. Check this out:

Feels like the ump could’ve chilled out a bit there.
Hyde couldn’t believe it:

Umps are weak, but not as weak as the Yankees for intentionally hitting Cowser. https://t.co/XIVBL3FUci
