Yankees’ Aaron Boone ejected for arguing balls and strikes

Aaron Boone was shown the door early again Thursday night at the Stadium.

The manager was ejected for the second time in four games, this time in the middle of the third inning of the Yankees’ 3-1 loss to the Orioles, when he argued with home plate umpire Edwin Moscoso about balls and strikes, as Clarke Schmidt struggled with his command.

It was the fourth time the 50-year-old Boone was ejected this season.

He has now been ejected for 30 times in his career.

After being ejected by Moscoso, Boone came onto the field and yelled at Moscoso, appearing to argue that the umpire had missed four calls.

Boone was restrained by bench coach Carlos Mendoza and crew chief Chris Guccione.

“I should not have been thrown out of that game,’’ Boone said after the loss.

Boone also was ejected during the Yankees’ 4-1 win over the Reds on Sunday.

He was tossed in the bottom of the first inning after a replay review went in the Reds’ favor, deeming that right fielder Jake Bauers had botched a fly ball in fair territory instead of foul.

Boone was not arguing that part, but instead that the umpires allowed Jonathan India to score from first base on the play.

During the live play, first-base umpire Nestor Ceja signaled it was a foul ball, so Bauers did not have any reason to quickly get to his feet after the sliding attempt and try to throw home to get India.

Nevertheless, crew chief Brian O’Nora announcing that the Reds’ challenge was successful and that Spencer Steer’s fly ball was actually fair for a double, also saying India would be awarded home plate.
