Roch Kubatko sums up the Orioles ejections Wednesday night:
Fans who paid last night to watch plate umpire Sam Holbrook sure got their money’s worth. They must have gone home happy. Memories to last a lifetime. Kids today are demanding two Angel Hernandez cards and a Laz Diaz for one Sam Holbrook.
Holbrook put on a show, ejecting Kevin Gausman and Adam Jones within the first five innings. He jumped out of his shoes to toss Gausman after a 77 mph curveball kissed Xander Bogaerts’ back one pitch into the second.
Kubatko goes on to note the ejections put the Orioles pitching rotation in disarray, as Ubaldo Jimenez had to come into pitch. It’s probably a good thing that after today’s game, these teams get a month off from each other.
With the 4-2 loss, the Orioles are in second place behind the Yankees, who won 8-6 over the Blue Jays.
