Yankees manager Aaron Boone is ejected for the second time in four games and fourth time this season

Livid Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected for the fourth time this season and second in New York’s last four games when he argued with Edwin Moscoso over the umpire’s strike zone in Thursday night’s 3-1 loss against the Baltimore Orioles.

Boone held up four fingers while arguing with Moscoso, indicating that he believed the referee missed four calls.

Boone may also have spat on Moscoco during an argument, then got into a fight with first base umpire Chris Guccione after ejecting.

Boone was ejected shortly after Gunnar Henderson lined out to first to end the top of the third inning. Henderson worked a six-pitch walk in the first in which Moscoso called balls on three boundary fields. Henderson made two pitches to the outside corner on called balls in his third inning at bat.

Boone was ejected on April 12 against Cleveland, on May 15 against Toronto and on Sunday against Cincinnati. He has been ejected fifty times in over five seasons as manager of the Yankees.

Boone’s lockout against the Reds on May 22 came at the end of the first inning after a replay overturned a call in favor of Cincinnati.

With the Reds’ Jonathan India on first base, Cincinnati’s Spencer Steer shot a ball down the first base line. Yankees right fielder Jake Bauers ran over to try to play the ball, but it came out of his glove.

His bubbling attempts to stop the ball were in vain as he fell onto his side.

First base umpire Nestor Ceja threw up both hands to signal it was a foul ball, but India kept running home and eventually reached the ball before returning to first base.

But on closer inspection, Bauers hit the ball in good territory, he only rolled it out and made a mistake. Reds manager David Bell challenged and reversed the call meaning the run was scored.

Boone furiously left the dugout and began arguing his case with second base umpire Brian O’Nora—he said that Ceja’s decision to call it foul meant the Yankees thought the action was dead and therefore had no action to go to the plate. made.

But O’Nora apparently had enough of Boone and dismissed him, despite the game being in its early stages.
