Wolf lost control of the game, but he realized it too late.
When Sanchez hit Escobar, that's when it finally hit him. It wasn't when the Royals were throwing at JD, or when they hit Tulo like it should have been.
That's why he double cluched before ejecting Sanchez. I think he felt that it was unfair to eject a Jay first, but he felt he had to. And IMO Sanchez absolutely hit Escobar on purpose. It was the perfect time (2 outs, 8th inning no one on) and after Wolf called the first pitch a ball, I think Martkn decided to call for it.
If I'm JD, I'm thanking Sanchez and Russ for standing up for me because the umps aren't doing their jobs.
