The baseball season is only three weeks old and the Orioles coaching staff has already chalked up three ejections, so you’re probably wondering if there is a trend forming here.
This is, after all, the town where Earl Weaver became a legend in no small part because of his penchant for theatrically antagonizing umpires and getting thrown out of nearly 100 regular and postseason games during his major league managerial career.
Brandon Hyde, who got tossed for the first time as Orioles manager on Patriots Day in Boston, doesn’t seem like the dirt-kicking, base-throwing type. He was ejected for arguing the decision of the New York replay crew after challenging a potentially illegal slide by Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers that could have injured O’s second baseman Jonathan Villar.
