Aaron Boone was ejected two batters into today's Yankees game. Boone: “I didn’t say anything.” Umpire: "I don't care who said it. You're gone." 🎥 @TalkinYanks
It was the second ejection of the year for Aaron Boone, who has 34 since becoming Yankees manager in 2018 — the most out of any skipper over that time. More details and analysis from @ChrisKirschner & @BrendanKutyNJ: theathletic.com/5436302/2024/0…
Far too many umpires are on power trips that want to be part of the game. Nobody bought a ticket to watch an umpire. I struggled with so many when I played and I see too many like this. The MLB has some amazing umpires and those should be commended but they hold on to bad ones far too long
@TheAthletic @TalkinYanks But but but "Umps Care!" Even umps that literally say out loud that they DON'T care. @UmpsCare
@TheAthletic @TalkinYanks Ump feeling insecure & suffering from little man syndrome on a power kick. It’s become a joke on many different levels of ball.
@TheAthletic @TalkinYanks And yet again the umpires will receive ZERO punishment.
@TheAthletic @TalkinYanks Ump got money on the a’s guaranteed…….. what’s mlbs process on catching umps betting on games how is that vetted
@TheAthletic @TalkinYanks Haha he was chewing his gum in his front teeth and looking at his fingernails.
@TheAthletic @TalkinYanks @MLB Umpires have to stop making it about them. This is ridiculous! Accountability!
@TheAthletic @TalkinYanks Today’s umpires are the softest people on the planet.
