Crybaby Yankees enemy Kevin Gausman gets ejected, tumbles after Austin Wells' moment

The New York Yankees badly needed to rebound from Friday night's blown loss, and Sunday's doubleheader gave them a prime opportunity to do so with Max Fried kicking off the afternoon. But the Blue Jays scored first and Kevin Gausman needed just 18 pitches to record the first six outs of the game. Uh oh.

Then came the third inning and the apparent loss of Gausman's entire being. The veteran right-hander completely imploded surrendering six earned runs on two hits and five walks in his next 2/3 of an inning. By the time the bottom of the third concluded, the Yankees were up 6-1 and Gausman's pitch count ballooned to 71.

That's right. Blue Jays manager John Schneider hung Gausman out to dry for 53 pitches in that half-inning. And a bases-clearing double from Austin Wells to break the game open officially sealed the pitcher's fate. Before that, Cody Bellinger logged a sac fly while Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm recorded RBI walks.

Gausman couldn't locate whatsoever, and the few times he did, he left his pitches floating over the plate like he did in the full count to Wells.

Yankees fans laugh as crybaby Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman gets ejected

Then, in typical crybaby Blue Jays fashion, Gausman attempted to blame the home plate umpire for his one-of-a-kind collapse, arguing with Chris Conroy on the way to the dugout. He was promptly ejected. Gausman continued his blabbering after being removed from the game and, as he was headed for the clubhouse, tripped and fell down the stairs.

From striking out Aaron Judge looking with ease to faceplanting into a stinky locker room, it was quite the spiral for Gausman, who saw his season ERA jump from 3.16 to 4.50 in less than an inning.

Gausman's historically been a Yankees antagonizer since joining the Jays, so it was satisfying for the fans in attendance and at home to get treated to this extra comedic scene in what's going to be a long Sunday with Game 2 starting at 5:05 p.m. ET.

The Yankees have since extended their lead with Max Fried through five innings of one-run ball. Let's have the 'pen finish this off efficiently and everybody can be well-rested for the second matchup.
