Benches clear, 4 ejected in White Sox, Royals sport

White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson, Royals pitcher Brad Keller, Sox supervisor Rick Renteria and Royals coach Dale Sveum have been ejected following a bench clearing incident in the course of the sixth inning  Wednesday afternoon at Guaranteed Rate Field. Keller hit Anderson on the buttocks along with his first of the inning, an obvious response to Anderson’s bat flip celebration of his residence run within the fourth inning. Anderson, who gave the Sox a 2-Zero lead with the blast, made an overhand toss of the bat within the route of the Sox dugout. Keller and different Royals gamers gave stares to Anderson as he rounded the bases, and when Anderson got here as much as bat two innings

Ravens’ John Harbaugh Defends Orioles In Growing Rivalry With Red Sox

Share this: John Harbaugh never has been one to shy away from criticizing Boston sports teams, and the Baltimore Ravens head coach unsurprisingly backed the Baltimore Orioles in their ongoing feud with the Boston Red Sox. Harbaugh brought up the growing rivalry between American League East foes at his media session Saturday, and came to the defense of Orioles starter Kevin Gausman, who was ejected during Wednesday’s game for hitting Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts with a curveball. “It was a curveball. It was a curveball,” Harbaugh said, per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. “It didn’t break.” The pitch that Gausman threw registered at 77 mph, which led Harbaugh to scoff at the need for an ejection. “That’s a love tap,” Harbaugh said.

Travis Kelce Ejected From Chiefs-Jaguars For Throwing Towel At Referee

Share this: Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce wasn’t able to finish Sunday afternoon’s home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars because of a foolish decision. Kelce lost his cool after yelling at a referee and threw his towel in the official’s direction. He was ejected from the game immediately after. It looked like Kelce was unhappy with a previous call(s), but there’s still no excuse for his behavior. The Chiefs still won 19-14 to move into a first-place tie with the Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos atop the AFC West.

NBA Rumors: Celtics Interested In Signing Cavaliers Guard J.R. Smith

Share this: J.R. Smith played a key role in helping the Cleveland Cavaliers win their first NBA championship last season, but will he be taking his talents to an Eastern Conference rival this campaign? Smith is an unrestricted free agent with less than a month to go before opening night. Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reported Sunday that “several teams” are interested in Smith, and that the Boston Celtics are among them. However, Isola notes that the Celtics probably would need to free up additional salary cap space to sign the veteran shooting guard. Smith, 31, would improve Boston’s outside shooting, which has been one of its most glaring weaknesses over the last few seasons. The Celtics shot just 33.5 percent on 3-point

O.J. Mayo Gets Ejected, Goes After Official During Bucks-Timberwolves Game (Video)

O.J. Mayo didn’t see the end of Saturday’s Milwaukee Bucks-Minnesota Timberwolves game, and he might not see the floor again for a while following his post-ejection actions. The Bucks guard received a technical foul after he lobbied a bit too hard for a foul call on Karl-Anthony Towns. He didn’t stop arguing with an official, which led to him getting ejected from the game. Instead of heading back to the locker room, though, Mayo had to be restrained when he tried to go after the official. This is not a good look for the NBA veteran, and more penalties probably are on their way. Thumbnail photo via Kirby Lee/USA TODAY Sports Image...
