First of all, the Orioles broadcast gives me a headache. 

Second, I was surprised Sale didn't get tossed last night. Maybe he saved himself because of how low it was. But this Boston/Baltimore feud is getting ridiculous and the teams clearly aren't putting a stop to it. That curveball, even though it was a curveball, never got close to the plate. It hit Bogaerts in the backside, which means it had to start even further behind him. I'm okay with it, because intentionally throwing at people is on everybody's mind in that series. 

All over a slide that wasn't that bad.

I'm not a fan of either team, so I have no bias here ...that's a ridiculous ejection ....ridiculous

I think Sam got a little carried away. I'm sure they pre-gamed all the bad blood between the two team and probably had a plan in place to handle it. when it happened he just jumped to conclusion instead of reading the situations. Bad night with game mangment, but we all have them.
