For at least one day in this 2019 season, the Orioles have managed to have the most talked-about narrative around the team be something other than their historic pace of giving up home runs. Unfortunately for Orioles fans, that bigger story that’s pushed the other one to the side involved the team’s highest paid player, Chris Davis, and manager Brandon Hyde having a brief shouting match in the dugout during Wednesday’s loss.
I’ve watched a lot of bad Orioles games going back into the previous dark era of O’s baseball. A player having to be restrained from going after the manager is not one you see very often, not even in the middle of some extremely crummy losses.
