Orioles' Frustrations Were On Display With Ejection of Ramon Laureano

The frustration among Baltimore Orioles fans has permeated the clubhouse.

Just two years removed from the American League East title and one from a second-place finish and Wild Card berth, the Orioles are in shambles, and they desperately need to right the ship.

It's clear the players are feeling the pressure to climb out of the spiraling hole.

Baltimore sits firmly at last in the division with a 15-26 record after dropping both contests of the doubleheader on Wednesday, and after the New York Yankees won their finale against the Seattle Mariners, the Orioles are now ---- games out of first.

Their loss in Game 1 was not without drama, as outfielder Ramón Laureano earned an ejection for his antics at the plate.

Ramón Laureano’s Ejection Illustrates Team Struggles

Laureano had a critical at-bat in the bottom of the sixth with two outs and a runner on first base.

In a 3-2 count, he took issue with the third strike called by home plate umpire James Hoye.
He expressed his frustrations by slamming his bat into the ground and spiking his helmet.

Unsurprisingly, the umpire immediately ejected Laureano from the contest.
