The Twins’ skipper was on the field yelling at the umpires in a very animated fashion that led to him being ejected from the game.
Twins manager Derek Shelton was tossed in the ninth inning of Sunday’s 8-6 loss to the Orioles after he argued that pitcher Ryan Helsley had not called for a challenge fast enough, after ABS overturned a ball called that would have walked batter Josh Bell.
Instead, it was called strike three for the second out of the inning.

But the umpiring crew thought it was.” The rules around ABS challenges state that a player must indicate a challenge immediately and there is a rough timeframe of two seconds for one to be made.
