Reds vs. Orioles Highlights<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

It hasn’t been a very good week for the\u00a0Baltimore Orioles, who got blown out 24-2 against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday and then held scoreless against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

That week continued to get worse for the Orioles in their second game of the series against the Nats, when they were on the losing end of a baffling call from MLB ump C.B. Bucknor.<\/p>\n

In the top of the fifth inning, Orioles’ Gunnar Henderson started to swing on an 0-2 pitch from Nationals’ Trevor Williams.<\/p>\n

Henderson seemed to hold back at the last second and didn’t make contact with the ball, but Bucknor, who was the home plate ump, immediately ruled it a swinging strike three without consulting the first or third base ump.<\/p>\n

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde was caught on camera in the dugout appearing to send Bucknor a succinct, NSFW message: “Get f—ing help.”<\/p>\n
