Major League Baseball hit Chisholm with a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine, Aaron Boone said, a day after the Yankees\u2019 second baseman was ejected from the win over the Rays for arguing balls and strikes and then went back to the clubhouse and posted on social media about it before the game was over.<\/b>
\nJazz Chisholm Jr. got his point across Thursday night, but on Friday, he paid for it \u2014 with his wallet and potentially a game.
Major League Baseball hit Chisholm with a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine, Aaron Boone said, a day after the Yankees second baseman was ejected from the win over the Rays for arguing balls and strikes and then went back to the clubhouse and posted on social media about it before the game was over.
Chisholm was appealing the suspension so he could play Friday\u2019s game at Steinbrenner Field.
\u201cNot even f\u2013king close!!!!!\u201d Chisholm posted on X just minutes after he was tossed, then deleted it before the end of the night.
Chisholm\u2019s post violated league policy in that it was sent while the game was still being played and also may have fit the category of \u201cdenigrates a major league umpire.\u201d
The 27-year-old had calmed down after the game but was still mad \u2014 both at home plate umpire John Bacon for making the call (and saying something to Chisholm that riled him up in the argument) and at himself for losing his cool.
\u201cI feel like a lot of stuff hasn\u2019t been going my way, but that doesn\u2019t give me the excuse to go out there and act like that,\u201d Chisholm said Thursday night. \u201cI\u2019m a ballplayer, I have emotions. I know I\u2019ve acted like that in the past, but that\u2019s what I\u2019ve really worked on to the present now. \u2026 Everybody makes mistakes, but at the same time, I get emotional. I get emotional about a game, especially when I think I\u2019m right.\u201d
The 3-2 pitch from Mason Montgomery did appear to cross the plate below the strike zone, but Chisholm had actually been spared a strikeout one pitch earlier when Montgomery\u2019s 99 mph fastball appeared to clip the zone but was called ball three.
Boone tried to run out to the plate to get Chisholm back to the dugout before he got ejected, but he was too late.
It marked Chisholm\u2019s fifth career ejection, his first as a Yankee.<\/p>\n
