Why Was This Reds Manager Ejected Before The Game Even Started?

May 24, 2015

For the lack of excitement the 18-24 Cincinnati Reds are displaying on the field, their manager is certainly making up for it off of it.

Reds manager Bryan Price was ejected Saturday before their game against the Cleveland Indians even started. All the shiz went down while Price and the opposing manager were turning in their lineup cards.

So what was the cause? A lineup card controversy? Accusations of a foreign substance? An off-the-cuff ‘mom’ joke?

None of the above.

Apparently it was a “hangover” from calls behind the plate the night before.

Damn. Couldn’t even sleep it off, huh?

The Reds lost 2-1. Who knows if the result would have been different with Price’s tutelage. After all, he is quite the speaker.

Don’t forget about this tirade that happened a month ago.

It’s the Reds’ seventh straight loss. It seems like Price is wrong in Cincinnati.
