Pitcher thinks Orioles have his pitches and Orioles manager gets mad, a breakdown

What Happened

In the second inning of a game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles, Blue Jays pitcher Robbie Ray takes issue with the Orioles' approach at the plate against his slider pitch. Robbie Ray, a starting pitcher for the Blue Jays, is puzzled by the Orioles' hitters rarely swinging at his slider, a pitch he typically gets a lot of swings and misses on. As the inning progresses, Ray becomes increasingly frustrated, shaking off his fastball and repeatedly throwing sliders, only to see the Orioles take them for strikes. Tensions escalate as Ray starts looking into the Orioles' dugout, sensing they might be signaling something to their hitters. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde takes exception to this and begins yelling from the dugout, telling the Blue Jays to "shut up" and that they "ain't saying nothing." The two teams continue to exchange words, with Ray challenging Hyde to "keep yelling" at him. The standoff continues as the Orioles' hitters continue to foul off or take Ray's slider pitches. In between pitches, the Orioles' dugout can be heard yelling "on delay" in an apparent attempt to mess with Ray's pitch selection. Despite the distractions, Ray manages to get out of the inning without any runs scoring. As Ray walks off the mound, he gives Hyde a few more looks and gestures, seemingly unhappy with the Orioles' tactics. Hyde, for his part, removes his hat to reveal his "luscious locks" and suggests that the viewers should go to Keeps.com to prevent male pattern baldness, a humorous nod to the personal care product company sponsoring . After the game, Brandon Hyde apologizes for the language that was picked up on the broadcast, acknowledging that his reaction was unprofessional. He explains that he felt his team was being "targeted" and that he was simply trying to "stick up for our guys." Robbie Ray, meanwhile, expresses his frustration with the Orioles' approach, saying he doesn't have time for "someone that doesn't get in the box." This incident highlights the competitive nature of the sport, with both teams looking to gain any advantage they can, even if it means testing the boundaries of gamesmanship. The heated exchange between the managers and the on-field drama make for a compelling and entertaining moment in the ongoing rivalry between the Blue Jays and Orioles.

feel like they

um they don't very rarely swing my

slider which is pretty uh curious i felt

like our team was being accused of

something that wasn't happening all

right so this one's pretty good right

away a little spicy pretty interesting

also interesting two out of three men

are going to experience some form of

male pattern hair loss in their lives

and you got to go to keeps to help

prevent that they're sponsoring this

breakdown let's get right into it

obviously robbie ray thinks some fishy

stuff was going on brandon hyde takes

exception of that here's how it played

out on the field before those interviews

so all the action happened in the second

inning of the orioles baltimore game and

that fastball is absolutely tattooed off

the wall gonna go for a triple it's a

fastball it's hit hard robbie ray has

about a 55

whiff right on his slider except when he

pitches in camden yards he's got like a

35 it's still there but it's down that

pitcher he wants the curveball for a

strike that's a swing and miss at a

slider so that's something that he's

used to getting that's a really nice

pitch let's watch it again really nice

pitch he's used to getting swings and

misses on those but he's going to start

to feel a bit funny about the idea that

they're taking some of them he liked

that one a lot it got taken so he's

gonna start to just throw a bunch of

sliders in a row he's gonna shake the

fastball he's gonna say let's throw a

slider again let's see what's going on

here it's my best swing and miss pitch

here's another one

and he takes it again no interesting at

all gets the call by the ump for the

strike so now it's two two and he's

going to go slider again and that the

batter had no interest in that one

either it was inside wasn't a strike and

you can see robbie ray start to think

3-2 pitch slider and he was all over it

and i was in the zone it was right there

in 3-2 you should be doing that robbie

ray's thinking he's like what's going on

here what's this all about let's go back

to the fastball and he's pretty behind

on that one kind of a weird swing 3-2

pitch back to the slider doesn't take

doesn't swing so he's on first base so

now what robbie ray does is he's going

to throw like four or three fastballs in

a row and see what's going on here

there's a fastball in a big old swing

for strike one he's like okay they're

hunting the fastball there's a fastball

it's high so he takes it 1-1 pitch

another fastball in the zone another big

swing

all right and now he's thinking huh

they're swinging on the fastballs

they're not swinging at the slider

what's going on here let's try a slider

okay swing so he's getting swings that's

where i'm confused starts looking into

the dugout of the orioles because

he's trying to notice what's going on

and there's some yelling every time a

slider comes according to his brain so

you can hear they start yelling on delay

pull up seasons

and he steps off

shut up

i don't know if that was him saying shut

up but someone told dj to shut up i'm

guessing dj stewart and he's just

looking into the dugout and kind of

saying i'm on to you guys you're yelling

every time i'm about to throw an off

speed pitch i got it now brandon hyde

here's this here's one of his players

being targeted decides that he's got to

stick up for his team what's going on

with this delay here but

we can't say anything

just a [ __ ] ball ain't saying

[ __ ] [ __ ]

[Applause]

so now they're just going to start

yelling on delay all the time here and

that is a fast ball and if on delay was

the code word for slider and now they're

just yelling on delay to get off the

scent he just swung and missed at a

fastball i have no idea though

[Applause]

now i think what brandon hyde meant to

say is get your [ __ ] ass back on the

mound or [ __ ] ass back on the mound

but he he messed up he said back in

front of ass so this sentence just kind

of comes out weird

[Applause]

[ __ ] back ass on the mound i don't

think that's the proper order but it's

heat of the moment

[Applause]

now robbie ray standing on the pitcher's

mound in the middle of the inning says

let's go come on you want to keep

yelling at me come on robbie ray

according to some reports he's got a

little psycho in him which i like a

little psycho

that's where he's hotter than

[Applause]

so hyde's saying that they're not saying

nothing not saying [ __ ] here we ain't

saying [ __ ] here it's kind of beer here

beer here ain't saying [ __ ] here he's

kind of like just like you know

the guy that sells beer i guess what are

those guys called comment below what

those guys are called as i have a brain

fart anyway fouled off he's got two more

outs to go he's got a runner on first

and third that's the swing and miss he's

used to there mullen's having a

fantastic year

[Applause]

and now they're just yelling on delay

non-stop just a just a mess with him

[Applause]

fastball swings and miss after three on

delays so i it's just you know baseball

players are paranoid at all times you

never know what's going on

the stats don't really

confirm what ray was saying that they

just don't swing at his slider they're

still swinging at it a decent amount

uh just not like as much as

normal but it's not shockingly bad

numbers that's another fastball i

believe that just got tattooed for the

third out he gets out of it as he walks

off he gives brandon hyde a couple more

stares and looks and says yeah

i did that or whatever i don't know and

hyde's like okay all right he's looking

at me and then he's gonna take off the

hat and show his luscious locks to the

umpire and he's just gonna let everyone

know hey do you have nice hair do you

want to keep your nice hair well if

you're ready to take action you've got

to go to k-e-e-p-s

dot com slash john boy or click the link

below and you get 50

off your first order

k-e-e-p-s dot com slash john boy keep

yourself some robbie ray hair i

understand that some of my language was

picked up on a mic

by our dugout i just wanted to

um you know apologize to

all the fans out there the blue jays

robbie ray uh charlie montoya uh there's

no excuse for that and and uh so i

wanted just to apologize and

and uh recognize that that was

unprofessional on my part you know i'm

not gonna waste my time with someone

that doesn't get in the box so um you

know i don't have the time of day

yeah i was surprised and that's why it

caught me off guard to be honest with

you and that's kind of why i reacted the

way i did just kind of sticking up for

our guys

we do things the right way here we don't

we we play the game the right way and we

do things the right way in the dugout so

just being

i felt like our guys were being targeted

a little bit and and uh i wish i would

handle a little different than i did
