What’s more painful – losing a game or losing your balance? Well, for the Blue Jays’ $110 million star, it’s tough to choose one. He would rather erase this day altogether if he could. The Sunday matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees was nothing short of a thrilling showdown. As if intensity wasn’t enough, things also took a dramatic turn. This one Blue Jays’ $110 million pitcher sealed the day and the headlines.
Yes, it’s the Blue Jays’ 34-year-old pitcher Kevin Gausman. It’s his 12th major league season. During the third inning, he threw a whopping 53 pitches against the Yankees. And guess what? That figure turns out to be the most MLB has witnessed in one inning since 2022. He ultimately ended up walking 5 batters and gave up 6 runs.
Exactly after 2 2/3 to be precise, he was seen arguing with umpire Chris Conroy over the strike zone. It looked anything but pretty. Soon, he was ejected by Conroy and walked off as he made his way towards the dugout. Amid his intense exit, all cameras were pointed at him. He was visibly mouthing words at the home plate umpire.

During this heated moment, the least you would expect would be any clumsy drama, right? But that’s exactly what unfolded. As Gausman stormed off, the cameras caught him stumbling down the dugout stairs. Gausman’s embarrassing clip made it to X and became a point of mockery among the Blue Jays nation.
It was insanely embarrassing for Gausman. Right when it happened, the Yankees announcer, Michael Kay, didn’t miss out on the opportunity to mock him. He burst out laughing and said, “Oh, he stumbled down the steps, hope he’s okay.” Well, the announcer made the most fun out of his ejection and post-ejection drama.
Do you think Conroy’s ejection decision was uncalled for? Well, it’s subjective, but as per Gausman, it was an unfair decision.
Eventually, the Yankees secured the win, handing the Blue Jays a painful 5-1 loss. But it seems like, more than the game, Gausman has been topping the headlines with his clumsy moment.
The Yankees brutally swept the Blue Jays
The Blue Jays were already struggling before this recent matchup against the Yankees. But after losing to the Yankees twice by 11-2 and 5-1, respectively, the Blue Jays have hit their lowest. Primarily because they just recently faced a humiliating loss by the Houston Astros by 1-5. Instead of bouncing back stronger, they were savagely swept by the Yankees.
They were outscored by a painful 16-3 in just one day by the Bronx Bombers at Yankee Stadium. This road trip was anything but a harsh reminder that this might be high time for them to reshape their lineup. Meanwhile, the Yankees, on the other hand, were on fire. Anthony Volpe even hit a soaring home run against Paxton Schultz.
Their key pieces, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Volpe, contributed to the win by scoring runs with back-to-back walks. Austin Wells got the Yankees in 6-1 lead by hitting a big double off the right-centre wall. While these guys are making headlines for their breakthroughs during the game, the Blue Jays’ pitcher, Kevin Gausman, is making headlines for his bad outing in the first game against the Yankees. Being the Blue Jays’ highest-paid player and getting ejected right after the second inning, it was a kind of game he won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
After a tough doubleheader weekend sweep, the Toronto Blue Jays need to make a closer look at their pitching depth and offense. They have reportedly dropped to .500 now, and it’s evidently not an ideal situation to be in. The remainder of the season is ahead, and the Blue Jays still have time to come out stronger.
