Okay, this is definitely the weirdest of the group. During the bottom of the second inning, with Baltimore leading by bat and Toronto pitcher Robbie Ray on the mound, Orioles manager Brandon Hyde turned off from the shelter.
Apparently, for no real reason, Hyde began using Ray with comments, becoming a very NSFW language in his talk. Viouslybviament, language warning in the following video.

Hyde warmed up to SUPER, for reasons no one could really understand while the game was being played. Then, of course, there was this after Ray destroyed Richie Martin.
