Aaron Boone is working on a real heater.

The New York Yankees manager was ejected from the team’s game on Thursday night against the Baltimore Orioles. Boone was ejected after confronting umpire Edwin Moscoso during the middle of the third inning. The manager seemed to be upset with calls made by Moscoso, feeling the umpire had missed four of them, and got into Moscoso’s face.

Moscoso appeared to miss two strike calls on the corner during Gunnar Henderson’s at-bat to end the top of the third.

Boone came out to protest and was ejected. He even had to be restrained in the process.

Moscoso apparently felt that Boone also spit on him during the interaction.

Can read Boone's lips there. Said HP ump Edwin Moscoso called four balls that were strikes.

Also during the argument, Moscoso said Boone spit on his face. https://t.co/NjnqM2P6XN

Boone has now been ejected an MLB-leading four times this season. It was his second ejection in four games and third in the Yankees’ last 10 contests. He gets ejected more often than the Oakland A’s win games.

Boone has now been ejected 30 times since being named Yankees manager in 2018, which is the most in the majors during that span.
