Another day, another ejection for Yankees manager Aaron Boone. At this point, it’s become part of the routine. Boone storming out of the dugout, jawing with the umpire, and getting tossed. But you shouldn’t take it as just about theatrics or hot-headedness. It’s more about a manager who refuses to let his players get steamrolled by questionable calls, no matter the cost.
Boone is following the classic manager’s playbook!
And once again, during the Yankees’ clash with the Mariners, Boone made it clear: if his team is getting jobbed, he’s going to speak up. However, the bigger problem lies elsewhere. It is about MLB continues to ignore a glaring issue that’s impacting games night after night: the umpiring.
Well, the incident happened in the ninth-inning showdown. The Yankees were going 1-1 on a throwing error, with Anthony Volpe standing on second and one out. But the momentum took a different turn when Jasson Dominguez was called out on strikes on a 1-2 fastball from Seattle closer Andres Munoz. A pitch that appeared to dip below the zone.
Here comes the boss! Rushing out of the Yankees’ dugout in defense of Dominguez, Aaron Boone made his presence felt on Tuesday night.
While Dominguez voiced his frustration, Boone stormed in with sharp words for plate umpire and crew chief Mark Wegner. Well, you know what would follow next. Yes, Boone was swiftly tossed, his second ejection of the season. But not before posing the great question of MLB’s umpiring quality.
