After Brandon Hyde was sacked from the Orioles, two star players fought for the next head coach, and that resulted in killing each other in the process.
Following Brandon Hyde’s firing from the Orioles, two of the team’s best players engaged in a deadly duel to become the next head coach.
The Baltimore Orioles‘ highest-paid player and manager got into a furious argument after a crushing 14-2 loss on Wednesday night, as if their terrible season couldn’t get much worse.
The Orioles were behind the New York Yankees 6-1 in the middle of the fifth inning when slugger Chris Davis and manager Brandon Hyde got into a quick argument in the dugout.
Television cameras saw the 6-foot-3, 230-pound Davis become extremely enraged as Hyde was making his way toward the clubhouse tunnel. In fact, two Orioles in the vicinity had to stop Davis from pursuing Hyde.
Renato Nunez took over at first base when Jace Peterson pinch-hit for Davis in the bottom of the inning.
In 574 at-bats this season, Davis is hitting.188 with nine home runs and 31 RBI. He broke the record earlier in the season for the longest hitting drought by a position player, finally reaching 0-for-54 dating back to September of the previous year.
