There is always something going on with the New York Yankees this season. Most recently, the Yanks suffered a series loss and saw their manager’s ejection on Thursday. It was the last game of the three-game series against the Orioles. With a 3-1 win, the Baltimore Orioles claimed the series. And the Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone was not happy with some decisions of the umpires. He even argued with umpire Edwin Moscoso, who gave him the marching orders.
Notably, it was Boone’s second ejection in the last four games. Given that the Yankees lost the game during Boone’s absence on the sidelines, fans have registered their reactions to the entire episode.

Meanwhile, the contest had a slow start. Pitchers dominated the overall proceedings as both teams struggled to score runs. After Boone’s ejection, the Orioles put the first run on the board. The Orioles then scored two more in the eight innings to take the lead, which provided them with another win of the season.
For the Orioles, Anthony Santander had a great game. He scored a run in three hits, finishing the game at an average of 0.267. The star of the game, though, was Kyle Gibson. In seven innings, Gibson claimed three strikeouts, allowing only two hits. Apart from Aaron Judge, the whole offense of the Yankees failed to score. Aaron, who finished at an average of 0.288, saw his effort fall short in the game. As the entire episode unfolded, fans shared their thoughts about it.
