Yankees' Boone ejected again, but 'not advocating' for robot umps

NEW YORK -- Ejected for the fourth time this season and second time in a four-game span, Yankees manager Aaron Boone didn't think there was a need for robot umpires.

"I don't want that," Boone said after Thursday night's 3-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.

Boone was tossed in the middle of the third inning by Edwin Moscoso over the umpire's strike zone. Boone held up four fingers while arguing, signaling Boone thought the plate umpire missed four calls on pitches by Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt.

A graphic posted by the Yankees' YES Network indicated at least six of Schmidt's pitches that caught the edge of the strike zone were called balls.
