Every Aaron Boone ejection, a breakdown marathon

Congratulations to Aaron Boone, the big 5-0, 50 career ejections. Easily the manager I've made the most breakdown videos of cuz every time he gets ejected I basically make a video. He's very easy to lip read. It's a lot of fun. Congrats, Aaron. Here's every video I've made over your career getting ejected. All right, we got a replay review and ejection here in this game. Here's the if fan interference. It's fan interference, no doubt. This kid, you're a god damn idiot if you're a Yankees fan, you're dumb. They call it an out. Now, they have the option to just call this a double, a ground rule double. They call it out saying Gordon would have made that catch and Boone goes a little crazy. He goes, "Did you Did you just call him out? What?" He lets the ump talk for a little bit here. He says, "You [ __ ] would not have caught it. [ __ ] horse [ __ ] That's [ __ ] [ __ ] You're out of here. Oh, [ __ ] you. [ __ ] all of you. He wouldn't have [ __ ] caught that." He's mad. That's my favorite little one right there. Just a nice Just a nice snap from Boone. [ __ ] All right, I did my best to find out what Boone was saying when he got ejected here. You got to know going into this that Boone hates replay because they messed him up on the Glaber call a couple games back. They messed him up earlier in this game. He hates the replay officials. He's asking them, "Can you check if it hit him in the foot?" They go and check. They're looking at this play right here. Wade said it hit him. I don't think it hit him. I don't think there's any way they're going to change that. So, they don't. And Boone says, "You can't check it?" Huh? I'm asking you, can you go check it? I don't have a replay. He already used his replay, got it wrong, so he doesn't have a replay. So, he's asking the umps to do him a solid and go check it. The ump's like, "No, we don't have it, so we're not going to check it." I don't know what he says here. I think he says something like, "This has been a [ __ ] bad game." He gets thrown out. Takes the gum out. Stocks the umpire down. Umpire's like, "This is going to suck. I don't want to hear this. Boone's like, okay, what am I going to say? Think of something good. Think of something good, Boonie. Okay, I got it. Here we go. Starts asking him like, why'd you throw me out? I'm not talking about that. And then the ump's like, you can't question that. And Boone's basically saying, I know. I'm not questioning the [ __ ] rule. I'm not questioning you. I believe that. He goes, horse [ __ ] over there, and now we got horse [ __ ] over here, and over there he's getting hit, and that's [ __ ] [ __ ] >> [laughter] >> He's like, I asked [clears throat] you to replay, and you're like, >> [laughter] >> [ __ ] Go check yourselves. The Yankees and the Rays have a double-header today and a lot of rain in the forecast, so it's going to be a long day, and Boone got ejected early. That pitch called a ball looked pretty good. This pitch called a ball looked pretty good. This next pitch called a ball looked pretty good. Now, Gary's not really catching and framing these the best, but those are coming across right at the knees. Gary turns around and says something, which he never does. He's pretty quiet. He's like, yo, that's really, really bad. Next up, this pitch the judge just called a strike, and he's like, god damn it, man. I'm super tall. I'm 6'7". Like, did you forget how tall I was? Look at Look at my knees. Look at your knees. Later on, Brett Gardner got called up on a pitch he thought was inside, and he's going to just bang his bat around until he founds finds the lot loudest spot. Hot mics galore. Hicks is smiling there, trying to hold it in. >> REALLY BAD START. >> [laughter] >> [ __ ] >> THAT'S SO FAR OUTSIDE. THAT'S SO FAR outside right there. >> I love that cuz DJ's like, I know everyone's riding you, and they're being pretty mean, but like, if we're being honest, that was like a really outside pitch. How awesome was that? He's complimented his players, said they were savages. He complimented the other pitcher, said he's a good pitcher. He told the ump he felt bad for him. Empathy, and he wanted him to get better. He said, "Tighten it up." A little encouragement. It had it all. Now, I know I'm biased, but I thought that was one of the better rants from a manager getting ejected we've had. There were a lot of ejections in the Yankees game today. Cameron Maybin didn't like pitch one there, so Boone leans in. He's like, "Well, that was the second pitch." Boone leans in. Then the end the at bat, he rings him up on that pitch. Thought he had the walk, gets KD. You serious? Absolutely. You're crazy, man. That's crazy. Here's the pitch. It's outside. I think the first one was a strike, but that one's definitely not a strike. Ump's looking in the dugout. Who's going to say something? You guys saying something? You said something? Okay. Well, you're out of here. Bam! Why? That was so fast. Boyd's got a point there. It was pretty quick. This this fan's going to give him the business. Bam! I understand pitches that are a little bit off of the plate. But when we're something on strikes and they score two runs, we're going to be pissed off. I get it. You get it? How do you miss that? Where are you actually seeing that pitch? That's up. Up? OH MY GOSH. You're saying you fall for that? You call that up? You've got to be [ __ ] Tighten it up. Tighten it up. Voit likes it he's banging. Brett Gardner's thinking is should I bang my bat? Am I going to bang my bat again? And that last one was a ball, too. It was low. Raven says, "Can't hit the ball off the plate." Gardy fixes the roof a little. Um says, "Point some out." I don't know if he ejected him. That fan loved it though. WHAT'S THAT? OH, MORE BUSINESS. That's horse [ __ ] Tommy. He didn't say a [ __ ] word. And now Phil Cuzzi runs over. He's like, "You did this. You did this. You did this." Why is Phil Cuzzi running over? This was definitely itching for an ejection. Phil Cuzzi wanted to throw him out. CC >> [laughter] >> CC's giving the business. He's going to get ejected. Romine's like, "God damn, I'm out. I'm out. I don't want to get ejected. I'm not even going to look at him." What the [ __ ] did you do to throw me out then? I did not do that. I did not do that. As per the rules, [ __ ] this is terrible. [ __ ] terrible. So [ __ ] Soft. Who threw me out then? Well, he yelled at you, but then I think he threw you out. Gardy's like, "Wait, what? You know what? Might as well get my bat banging in. If I'm already ejected, y'all fix this roof. This is going to go really good. Just get the dents out." Glaber's looking. Brett turns. Glaber's like, "Oh, I wasn't looking. Wasn't looking, Brett. Didn't say a [ __ ] word." Stanton is back from injury trying to get some reps in, see some pitches, find his groove. And that's a tough pitch. I think it's a strike, but it's a hard one to hit and you just hope the ump doesn't call it. Next one, little lower and that gets called a strike, too. Look at that one. I don't know if it clicked it. It's a really, really good pitch. [ __ ] A, let's go. That's what Boone says. Stanton lays off that one. Like like that, Stan. Next pitch, good job by Zoey. He just keeps peppering that same spot cuz he's getting the call. And Stan's like, "Dude, I don't want to swing at that cuz I don't think it's a strike, but you keep calling it a strike." That one was even low more inside. Boone's not happy in the dugout. [ __ ] kidding me? The way you [ __ ] look at him for? [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] check yourself. Let's go. [ __ ] Not happy about it. It's the first thing. There's some leftover frustration. Joe West starts saying, "I says, I got nothing to say to you." Joe West is like, "Well, I got something to say to you. It's that you're out of this game. Boom." Perfect form. Repping Nike. Wow. Great Great get, Nike. Great get. Boone's going to run out and be like, "Hey, what the hell? You probably can't even hear what I'm saying all the way out here." Uh well, you were talking and you look like you were yelling at my guy and he did good. So, you just threw you out. You care too much. So, just get out of here. And Boone's like, "What the [ __ ] are you talking about? This [ __ ] You can't throw me out." And now he's going to get into him about yesterday cuz yesterday Joe West was terrible behind the plate in the ninth inning. This horse [ __ ] and you know it. And yesterday that was horse [ __ ] too. You called that strike on Gardner. It was [ __ ] And Joe West is like, "What are you talking about?" He's like, "You know what I'm talking about. This pitch is what I'm talking about. Pretty outside. Should be ball four. Tying run on first. Just an egregious call by Joe West." Now, the hitting coach is yelling at the ump and he's like, "Hey, knock it off. I'm going to throw you out, too. Everyone's getting thrown out." Boone has to decide if they're going to challenge it and then what they're going to challenge. Are they going to challenge out at third? Or are they going to challenge that DJ was safe before Judge was tagged out? And you can see while he's just standing there waiting for his coach to hear the decision, you can hear voices of the umpires. I don't know if this is one voice you're going to hear or two voices you're going to hear. But, you hear one umpire It sounds like two to me. You hear one umpire say, "Hey, we got a hard out." And then the next one immediately goes, "That's it. Time's out. You're done." As soon as Boone hears that, he immediately calls for a challenge before even hearing from his coaches. Listening. So, now every Yankee head is turned. Basically, you can see the replay guy stunned. As soon as Boone heard the timer had started, he just said, "Okay, replay replay replay. We'll figure out what we're replaying afterwards." And then the guy just says, "Nope, time was up." And now Boone gets mad. He says, "You can't do that. You didn't even look at me. YOU DIDN'T EVEN [ __ ] LOOK AT ME. [ __ ] YOU. BULLSHIT." UM THROWS him out. Um says, "It's not [ __ ] Aaron." >> [laughter] >> "That's not It's not what happened, Aaron. You know when it's time." And Boone's just saying, "Bullshit, doll. Not all of them." I don't really know what that means, but Boone's just GO, "BULLSHIT. THAT'S [ __ ] HORSE [ __ ] CRAIG. IT'S HORSE [ __ ] IT'S [ __ ] HORSE [ __ ] It's [ __ ] horse [ __ ] No, you did not. >> [laughter] >> I don't know what he says here. But then Boone's going to run off. He's pretty mad. He wanted a challenge. He didn't give enough time to challenge. Takes his gum, throws it in the direction of that way, and says, "I'm out of here." How funny is that right there? That's just so so angry and [ __ ] Just Boone got so angry he like lost control of his fingers. "OH, [ __ ] YOU." >> [laughter] >> FIRST PITCH, SLIDER, MISSES, BALL. Next pitch, fastball, right down the middle, fouled back. The one and one, down, slider. The two and one, slider for a strike? Oh, no. Canha says, "Yeah, okay, I saw it the whole way. It was a ball." They thought it was in here, so 3-1, they're going to go fastball, and they don't get the call, and Gary's like, "Come on, where was that?" And Boone says, "Hey. Hey, where's that pitch, Shawn?" And Shawn says, "Down." He says, "Hey, I got to ask this. Where's that pitch?" He says, "Down." HE SAYS, "BULLSHIT. [ __ ] NOT CLOSE. LET'S [ __ ] GO. [ __ ] DOWN, THAT'S HORSE [ __ ] GET YOUR HEAD out of your [ __ ] ASS. IT'S [ __ ] LOW, BUT [ __ ] it's down. Um's like, "It's down. [ __ ] let's go. Um says, okay, enough. Get out of here. You're ejected. I don't want you around. He says, [ __ ] [ __ ] that's down. No [ __ ] chance that's [ __ ] down. NO [ __ ] CHANCE. YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT PICTURE is down? What? It was down. I got to tell you, that was not [ __ ] down. You got to pick it up. You got to pick it up. That's what Aaron Boone does. Just nothing but facts. Crowd's all amped up. This dude's wearing a beautiful shirt in the front row. Let Brett bang. Wonder who made that one. And Boone is going to toss the gum on the field. Enough. I've had it. Loaisiga is on the bump. Dyson's at second. He bends down. He looks in for the signs. He says, you know what? I'm not feeling too comfortable. He steps off. Home plate um says, that's a balk. That's a balk. Now he hasn't even thrown a pitch and the runner on first has gone from first to second to third. And this is what it is. Like, can you see what it is? Supposedly, the umpire says that he started coming to home plate and then stopped. It's called a start and stop balk. Doesn't look like anything to me. It looks like he takes his back foot and just steps off the rubber. Or saw cuz he saw it. I mean, he pointed it out right away. He said, that's a balk. That's a balk. And Boone was not happy. He was like, no, he went right into stepping off. [ __ ] no way. [ __ ] terrible. >> [laughter] >> And then Boone walks away. He puts his mask on. I came back to the game. And then Boone says, you know what? I'm not done. And he says, hey, you're gone. And then Boone says, why the [ __ ] you throw me out? What? Why? I told you to stop. Boone starts pointing at home plate. And the umpire says, are you talking about the play at the plate? Boone says, no, I I'm talking about the balk you just called. And the umpire says, no, I had him start and stop. [ __ ] I told you to stop and you kept going. I don't want to throw you out there. >> [laughter] >> I told you to stop and you kept going. I don't want to throw you out there. >> [laughter] >> Boone's like, "Okay, well, mad." And he says, "Well, okay, you're mad. I'm mad, too, I guess." And then he goes their separate ways and then Boone says, "You know what? I got something else to say. I didn't like the call at home plate, either. Since you brought it up, I'll just let you know." Umpire says, "Okay, all right, we're good to play. Everyone good?" And the catcher, he says, "Hey, do you want to throw the changeup again? Seemed like you had control of that." And he says, "No, I don't want to throw it." And then he says, "Okay, we want the fastball." He says, "No, actually I do want the changeup." Probably a fake shake to get Gallo thinking. Changeup outside, ball four. Oh, no, umpire rings him up. Joey Gallo's not happy. He says, "That's off." He says, "Yeah, that's Yeah, yes, it is. That's [ __ ] off. 100% [ __ ] horse shit." And here's a look at the pitch and yeah, it's outside. It probably should have been called ball four. Boone he says, "Bullshit. Don't [ __ ] come after me. You've got to step it up." So, I think the umpire was looking at Boone or yelling at Boone and Boone's like, "Don't yell at me. Yell at yourself. You're the ONE BLOWING CALLS. FUCK." Then the umpire's just going to stare at Boone saying like, "Hey, you got anything else to say? You got anything else to say?" And Boone says, "Don't [ __ ] Oh, you're throwing out. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] let's go. You're [ __ ] horse [ __ ] Don't [ __ ] come and stare at me. Your problem. That's not on the [ __ ] plate. And you're [ __ ] too busy." I don't know what the rest of that sentence was, but then the umpire said, "Oh, oh, oh, really?" Now, Boone's going to go draw him a picture, kick the dirt, and say, "All right, that's a [ __ ] ball. You've got to clean it up right now. All right? We're playing a hard game here." And then everyone's laughing on the bench. It's Rizzo and Gallo's first experience seeing Boone when he flips the switch. Voit's laughing. Judge and Gardy, though, they're just like, "Yep, yep, yep, that's Boone, okay." And Boone he keeps yelling at him. He wants him to admit that it's off the plate or at least understand that it was a bad call, but he won't. Boone's like, "Yeah, you just look at that and you say, 'Oh, that's a [ __ ] strike.' [ __ ] That's a [ __ ] horse [ __ ] call. My guys know it over there. They got a better sense of the zone. You got to clean it up." The umpire did not like that clap. Calls Boone back and he says, "You just clapped in my face." >> [laughter] >> Oh, yeah, you did. Yeah, you did. Boone's like, "Well, I was encouraging you. I was telling you to get it better." So, "I don't like being clapped in the face." Now, Gallo is over there like, "Thanks, Dad. Thanks, Dad. I appreciate it. Appreciate it. That was very nice of you." And Boone is off and he takes all of his secrets and he passes it to the bench coach and he's going to leave because he got ejected arguing in the second inning. Stan, the next batter [clears throat] takes his 3-2 fastball, not 3-2 changeup, and it sends it deep to center field. Home run. Good call by that fan. And Judge is just sitting there like, "Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was a bomb. Yeah, oh, out there." Aaron Boone just sparking the clubhouse. 2-0 pitch to Judge and inside they say strike. Maybe that was a strike. It's a nice pitch. Boone chewing a little more intensely now as he watches on. Now, in Judge's last at bat, he struck out a ball below the knees. So, this pitch is called a strike and I actually I think that's probably a nice pitch and crosses in the zone and above his knees, but it comes in lower. So, if you're just looking at the glove. And like I said, Boone was already on high alert. So, the ump calls that a strike and now Boone is going to yell, "MAKE THE [ __ ] ADJUSTMENT." "MAKE THE [ __ ] ADJUSTMENT." Umpire says, "Adjust that. You're out of here." Boone takes his gum, tosses it. "Fucking make the adjustment. You just missed the same [ __ ] call. What was wrong with that pitch? THAT BALL IS [ __ ] DOWN. HE'S 6 [ __ ] 7." UMP SAYS, "He's 6 7. That's a strike if he's 6-8. Boone says they're low. No, they're not. That ball is [ __ ] down. Get out of my face. Get out of my face. WELL, MAKE THE [ __ ] ADJUSTMENT. You spit on me. You just spit on me. You make the adjustment. YOU MAKE THE [ __ ] ADJUSTMENT. NO, YOU. NO, YOU. YOU MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT, BOONE. [ __ ] You make the adjustment. He's [ __ ] pitching around him and you're [ __ ] calling strikes in the dirt. 1-2 count to Judge and that pitch is called strike three. Judge doesn't like it. But, what are we doing? Boone doesn't like it. They're sick of these calls going against Judge and Boone's going to let him know and he says, he's laughing at your ass. He's laughing. They're laughing at you. That's how bad you are. Takes his gum out, decides on it, puts it back in. He's going to keep chewing that. Next pitch is to Rizzo and same thing. Says, just keep calling it. Hey, let's just continue this. Yeah, that's fun. He's like, he was laughing at me? Vasquez was laughing at me? What? Boone blows a bubble and then oh, wow. Sexy as all get out. Practice swing like a man, no gloves, mustache, little oh, little foot wiggle, back leg wiggle, lots of wiggling, grounding himself, getting set. They're getting set, comes to stiff, still. Throw it in there, kid. Let me hit it. That's low. Called a strike. Carp's like, nah-uh. Nah-uh. No way. It's not too late. It's not too late. You're out of here. It's not too late. So, he's telling him it's not too late to make the adjustment, change his zone, start calling those strikes. The game is still going. It's not too late. It's not too late. They're strikes. Just because you keep calling them they're [ __ ] balls. Rizzo's is a ball. The low pitch on Judge is a ball. This is a [ __ ] ball. He's laughing at your [ __ ] ass. Really throwing Festus under the bus who's standing right there like, "Hey, be cool, Boone. Be cool. I was I He didn't know I was laughing at him." Okay, it's not too late. Really letting him know. It's not too [ __ ] late. Come on, Boone. Come on nothing. It's not too [ __ ] late. There's a whole lot of game left. There's time to get better. Come on. The balls are down. I don't give two [ __ ] about the [ __ ] buffer zone. What's the buffer zone, you ask? Well, the MLB umpires have uh a 2-in buffer zone on either sides of the plate up and down where they don't get penalized for getting calls wrong in those areas. Umpire says, "All right, now let's go, okay? It's not too late. It's not too late. It's not too late. That's all I'm saying. I promise you those are down. Okay? They're [ __ ] down. They're [ __ ] down. It's not too late. >> [laughter] >> That kid's asleep. Too late for that kid to be out of the game. And Boone is Oh, he's chucking his gum. Finally finished it. Thought about it earlier. Umpire takes a peek. He wants to see a gum throw. Who doesn't? Turns to the catcher and he's like, "Hey, man, were you laughing at me?" Carpenter's up. Outside, too far outside, then the curveball outside a strike and they're like, "Come on, man. Again? Just cuz you keep calling it, Eddie. Just cuz you keep calling it doesn't make it a strike. You're gone. Get out of here." Boone takes the gum out of his mouth, tosses it. That's what he always does. He needs a clean mouth to argue and he says, "You just keep calling it. It's not a strike. Just cuz you keep calling it doesn't make it a strike. It's [ __ ] hot out here, but I don't know how you can stand there and see a ball that [ __ ] far off. You have 3 [ __ ] 2 with the bases loaded and nobody out and it was that far off the plate. I don't know how you can stand back there, look at that, and call it a strike." And then he's like, "I'm so hot. What are you talking about?" And he says, "Come here. Look, I'll show you. It's that far off. Come on. Come follow me." And the umpire just follows him and says, "Okay, what are you showing me?" "A [ __ ] ball. I understand he's throwing gas. All right. I get it, but those pitches are not even close. You got the game on the [ __ ] line right now. Let's go." And he's out. And the umpire's just standing there like, "I'm 60 years old. It's hot as hell. And you want me to just call 100 mile an hour pitches balls or strikes, an inch off the plate or not? Why Why Why This should be a robot's job. Like, why don't we go make sure Tito doesn't want to challenge? Like, hey, Terry, you sure you don't want to challenge? Cuz did you see what we just saw on the replay? And Boone's like, "You better not be doing what I think you're doing. You better not be Don't put that earpiece in. Don't put Oh boy." He comes out. Now he's about to lose his mind on him. "Bullshit. [ __ ] He ain't challenging [ __ ] [ __ ] He's got to let you know right away. You guys missed the first runner and I looked at it and I didn't [ __ ] challenge it. [ __ ] He can't [ __ ] challenge. No [ __ ] way he can challenge." So, Boone's mad because he's like, "You just gifted him a challenge. We were all playing the same game. Bull [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] I didn't challenge the runner back here and then you guys go meet and then you walk up to him and you're like, "Him [ __ ] challenge? What's that about?" He's like, "No, hold up. Hold up. We're just trying to get the play right. We're just trying to get it right, Boone." He's like, "Huh?" "No, you can't. This is something that changed from last year where they're like, "The managers have a strict 15 seconds to challenge, and that's all." And that's why Boone is so fired up, cuz you're going to see him say, "That's horse [ __ ] YOU GUYS [ __ ] did this to us all spring. Now, THIS IS HOW IT'S [ __ ] HANDLED?" "STOP. HEY, you need TO STOP." "OH, [ __ ] I NEED to [ __ ] stop? You guys [ __ ] let him challenge after he could see it on the [ __ ] board." Now, they're clapping cuz he got ejected. Boone's like, "Did you just throw me out?" "Yes. Okay. All right. Well, whatever. Back to the point. You didn't challenge You see IT ON THE [ __ ] BOARD." "BLAH. IT'S [ __ ] bullshit." He's mad. He doesn't know he's walking over there. He's a mad that guy double birds him in the background. God damn it. "What are you doing? IT'S [ __ ] CALL after call. All winter long. All spring. This is what you told us. You have five 15 seconds. You get the chance. You have 15 seconds. You get the chance. And then you [ __ ] it up. Get it the [ __ ] together. It's bullshit." Fans are cheering. Boone is leaving. Boone is leaving. Now, he does admit they did get the call correct. He's like, "I get it. They got the call correct." >> Yeah, they got the play right. They I I will say that. They got the play right. >> They just handled it wrong, and they've been telling us all spring this is how it was going to handle, and it was very smart of me not to challenge cuz I knew he dropped the ball. But then you show it on the replay, and you go, "Hey, Tito, you want to challenge? Did you see what they see?" And he's mad about it. He's going to go back out. He can't figure it out. He's like, "No way this is right. And that's not the rule you told us in spring. You cannot challenge it whenever you want. I want you to check that he can challenge it. He can't do it, you know?" And Alms like, "Well, we already ran it." And he goes, "Well, it is one of the stupidest I want you to check that he can challenge it whenever he [ __ ] wants. Whenever he [ __ ] wants to. I want you to check." He's like, "You want me to check?" "Yeah, I want you to do a rule check. And I want a protest. I'm putting the P in the air, you know?" And then I'm like, "Actually, Boone, you can't protest anymore." He's like, "Cuz it's awful after you guys [ __ ] it up both ways. It was out before he scores on that, by the way, and I didn't challenge. I saved you guys face there cuz I knew you I knew you messed up both plays, you know? I'm just helping you out and you go do this to me. I'm over it." Clark Schmidt gets the strike call on that one on the outside edge, goes back to the outside edge, doesn't get the call, thinks it's very similar pitch, goes there again, doesn't get it again, thinks it's very similar. Boone's like, "What's going on?" Here's all the pitches on that edge from this game. Now, the orange are strikes, the blue are balls, so it's been some are blue, some are orange. The only problem all of Clark's are blue, all of the other pitchers are orange. So, Boone doesn't like that, and he went and looked at it, and he's going to let the umpire know. "Four. Stop. I'm just trying to help. I'm just trying to help you. I'm just trying to help you." Boom, ejected. Wasn't interested in getting any help. So, Boone runs out. "I said you've got four strikes that you've called balls. Four. I see you looking I see you looking at the iPad. I was yelling at YOU IN THE [ __ ] MOMENT. I WAS YELLING AT YOU IN THE MOMENT. I'M YELLING AT YOU IN THE MOMENT." HE SPIT IN MY FACE. "I WAS YELLING at you in the moment about these pitches." He spit in my face. "I'm out." Boone's like, "Woah, you can't woah woah uh uh Boone's mad. He's fire Okay, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. Four called strikes are balls. Four. Something something after those, the same pitch, and it's two balls. WHAT? >> [laughter] >> WHAT? I need him to get better. I need YOU TO GET BETTER. So Boone's going to go teach him how to get better. I just want you to know I don't care what the iPad's saying. Don't tell me you don't care what the iPad is saying. You said it. Boonie, Boonie, Boonie. I like this look Boone get Boonie. Come on, come on. He's like, oh, oh, hi there. Hello, how are you? No, I'm talking to him. I told you it's not looking at the iPad. I'm yelling at you in real time. And something what you need to do is you need to look at and look over there and you can see that four balls, four strikes. Get better. It's terrible. I want you to care about it. I want you to care about it. Okay? You should care about it. And he's thinking, oh, I shouldn't have said the don't care thing. Maybe he's got a point. I should care about, you know, my strikes. And Boone realizes, wait, you shouldn't have thrown me out for what I said before that. I didn't even say anything. And then he's going to say, no way you should have thrown me out for that. No way you should have thrown me out for that. No way I should have gotten thrown out. I didn't say anything. No way I should have gotten thrown out. Huh? I mean, I just told him he got a four. That's horse [ __ ] And you [ __ ] know it. Yeah. So Boone was mad. I don't got the answer for you. Huh? And he's out. And he got suspended cuz he spit in the umpire's face, which was an accident. And I don't know. I mean, obviously he goes off once he's ejected, but all he said was four balls called strikes. And I he's I'm trying to help you. I'm trying to help you. Maybe the first time a a manager gets ejected for trying to help the umpire. Maybe he's pondering that. Yankees are playing the White Sox. Last day as the umpire's just botching the outside corner all game cuz his head is on the inside, so he's got no angle on the outside. And strike. And all game, all Dylan Cease had to do, and smart that he was doing it, was just go outside, a whole ball length, maybe two balls off the plate, strike, strike, curveball, strike. So, Boone finally snaps, and he snaps on that pitch, which wasn't even a ball, but either way, he last, "What the [ __ ] are we doing? What are we doing?" And Laz is like, "Well, you're gone. You're out." He says, "Oh, you you threw me? Okay, good. Now I'm going to tell you what I think." And we do have some hot mics, so I'm going to let this play with the hot mics first, and then I'll slow it down and read the lips, because it's kind of a mixture. Well, I'm sure that Boone was thrown out. Okay. So, if you couldn't hear that, you might need headphones on, but it is there, just to let you know that like it's not all lip reading, there is just a lot of uh good audio on here. He comes out, and he says the stuff about you messed up DJ, and you messed up Gleber, and then his finale is, "You [ __ ] stink! You [ __ ] stink!" And Laz responds with, "No, you stink! Yo, you stink! You [ __ ] stink! You stink, Aaron!" So, then Boone goes to walk towards the plate to show him where the pitches are missing. And Laz knows what he's doing, so Laz says, "Oh, play your [ __ ] game! Play your [ __ ] game! Play your [ __ ] game! Play your [ __ ] game then! Go ahead! Go ahead! Show me where I missed! Do what you're going to do! Go ahead and play your [ __ ] game! There you go! There you go! Yeah, make it bigger! Make it bigger! Make it bigger! Now make it bigger! YOU MAKE IT BIGGER!" SO, WE HAD SOME HOT MICS AGAIN, BUT WHAT happened there was Laz is basically like, "You should go look at your record. You think I stink?" And Boone says, "Well, yeah. I hear about it every [ __ ] day." And then Lyle's says, "What the [ __ ] have you done here? You haven't done a [ __ ] thing here. And I stink?" >> [laughter] >> "And I stink? You've missed so many [ __ ] calls. I stink? What have you done here? What have you done here? And I stink? I don't think so. I stink? Just go. I don't want to talk. Just go. You're calling pitches 2 in off the plate. SO MANY [ __ ] PITCHES TONIGHT. GO. GO." So Boone goes and walks away. I don't know. Lyle's got kind of personal there. What have you ever done? Thinks he's bigger than Boone in the game of baseball. Boone's trying to let him know that he stinks and he missed a lot of pitches that night. I mean, he even was kind enough to show him. I do like Lyle's saying, "Go play your game." Yeah, draw line. Play your game. So Boone has to draw the line cuz Lyle's is telling him, "Draw your line." And Boone draws a pretty big line cuz he's getting permission from the umpire to do it. It's real big. Meanwhile, the ump the whole time, "Make it bigger. Make it bigger." So now Boone's like, "Oh, [ __ ] Well, he I mean, this is everything he's asking me to do. I got to add something extra here. Let me And this is what you look like. Strike." >> [clears throat] [laughter] >> And then uh "You stink." Right in his face. And he did get Lyle's ump call. Pretty, you know, that's that's there. That's on point. That pitch was called a strike, but it's probably low. Lance Barrett, the umpire behind the plate, has the biggest strike zone of all umpires. That was the scouting report before the game started. Judge is like, "I don't know about that." Next inning, bottom of the second, Volpe gets that one called on him and he's like, "Uh that clipped the bottom?" Umpire's like, "Yep." Boone is like, "Geez, Lance, come on, man. Only the second inning. I'm already getting so frustrated. Second inning, next batter, that one's called a strike. That's That's probably not a strike. Called a strike. And now frustration starting to boil over. >> Got some stories. >> Yeah, I was thinking that And Lance >> Just saying you SHOULD FIX IT. THEN FIX IT. They're balls. Little mean stare from Lance as he makes his way back to the plate, throws the mask on. Boone is not excited. Doesn't think he got his message across. Oh, [ __ ] First pitch. That one is maybe the most egregious of the bunch. I mean, that's just a real low pitch and called for a strike. Boone says something. Lance says, Aaron, get out of here. Throws him out. Now Boone gets to walk out, have his peace, and we get some hot mics. I love it. Do you think that's a strike? Honestly, do you think it's a strike? You just called it a strike, but do you think it's a strike? And Boone, I love this. He goes, "Just so you [ __ ] know." And he's just looking at him. He says, "Okay?" And Lance is going to give him this little nod like, "Yep. Okay. Gotcha." Kind of like when I talk to my toddler, say, "Okay, do you hear me?" And he just goes, "Okay, Dad." And you're like, "I don't think you're really listening to me. Do you think that was a strike? Honestly, do you think that was a strike, the one you just called?" Boone wants answers. Now he's getting an answer. And judging from the next sentence, I think Lance is probably saying, "Well, uh, if I'm wrong, I don't know. You want me to to admit that I'm wrong? I'm not going to admit that." Or something like that, cuz Boone says, "Well, if I'm wrong, I come out and I say it. Yeah. I wave my hand and Lance is like, "No, you do not do that." Boone is like, "That's a ball right there. It's a ball. It's [ __ ] down. I promise you, it's down. He's having a hell of a night so far. I know you've got the biggest zone in the league. You must know it, too. I'm [ __ ] telling you that pitch is [ __ ] down. That pitch is not even [ __ ] close." And Lance says, "Okay, all right. Good talk. I heard you. And see you later." And Boone says, "Yep, got everything I wanted to say off my chest." And he gets ejected, says, "Here you go. You take over now. You're the boss. Have fun." Alex Verdugo steps to the plate for the Yankees. That's strike one on a slider. Verdugo accepts the call, doesn't love it, but accepts it. It's in there. Okay, that's the edge. I'll memorize that. Back-to-back sliders. Didn't see that coming. Oh and two now. Surely he's not going to get another one. He does. He says he struck out. He says, "Wait, what? How? On the pitch? Are you kidding me? What? On the pitch? Boone says, "Hey! Hey! What's going on? What you call? ON THE SWING? SO, YEAH, HE CALLED HIM OUT ON THE pitch and everyone thought it was on the swing. Even the catcher for the Marlins doesn't clock that as a ball. So, he asked to check the swing. Like, did he go? Which usually means the catcher doesn't think it's a strike or he's just being safe. He definitely didn't doesn't look like he swung. So, that's why they were a little shocked. And then they said, "No, it's on the pitch." And then it was even a more shocking cuz that pitch was outside. By every program that tracks pitches, they all said that one's outside. Umpire said, "No, it's good." So, they were shocked. Verdugo comes back up in In inning. The Yankees are down. He's the lead-off batter. Strike one was in there. Oh and one now the pitch and that is a ball, low. Need to get runners on. Need to mount a comeback. Down three in the seventh. The one-one pitch and that's low outside. No, neither. Strike and Verdugo's mad and Boone is now going to back up his guy. HEY! IT'S LOW! YEAH. IT'S [ __ ] LOW, JOHN! It's low! Dot him! It's low! [ __ ] let's try it again. TIGHTEN IT UP! Umpire doesn't like any of this. He says, "You're out of here." Boom! Stares at him. [ __ ] [ __ ] Boone now gets to come out and have a real conversation. He says, "The last one you called on the bat, he said it was called strike, right?" His last time up. You know you missed that one bad. Okay, and now you're [ __ ] him again on the low pitch. [ __ ] John! [ __ ] John! [ __ ] You got what He says, "We're coming back in this game. We're coming back in this game and I need you to be really sharp right now. Let's go!" Tell him, Boonie. Need him to be sharp. And then he's going to walk off. Umpire's going to get set. The game's going to continue. Boone's got to leave. Grabs his notepad. He says, "Well, I've done it again. It's up to you now." He says, "Fucking so [ __ ] bad, bro." Aaron Judge coming to the plate for the Yankees. He's one of the better hitters in the game. He says, "Okay, what am I going to see here? I think it's going to be that." Gone! 86 changeup low and in. Judge smashes it. Where did it go? Usually you have seats in a crowd. They call it foul. IT'S A FOUL BALL. WHAT? They're pissed off. That's a judge homer. You think it's a homer? I'll tell you why he Boone thought it was a homer later. He says, "HOW DO YOU MISS THAT? COME ON." NOW, the at-bat continues and they think that ball is off the plate. Strikes on how to do a strike and Boone is just going to let out of now cuz now he's he's really mad about the home run situation, but now he can be mad about it that as well. HE'S LIKE, "LET'S GO. [ __ ] A, LET'S GO. WHAT ARE YOU looking at? IT'S A [ __ ] HOMER. You get the [ __ ] OUT. IT'S A HOMER. IT'S an Aaron Judge homer. You missed an Aaron Judge [ __ ] homer. Absolutely going to hear about it from us. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? IT'S A HOME RUN. YEAH. AND BOONE got ejected. He's upset about the strike call, mostly upset about the home run. We had him on our show cuz we have Boone every week on our show and he let us know all of his thoughts in a much calmer and more rational way. And here they are. >> There were a couple triggers for me that made me know it was fair. I think the replay, Judge how he started to go into his trot after it. So, he knew. Louie Rojas turned right to me and was like, "That's a fair ball." Cam and Aro thought it was fair. And then when I went and argued with Scott Berry at third, he's like, "It's you know, basically how tough a call it was. I think it's tougher there for the third base umpire because he's got to turn around and find the ball again. And then he's looking up from a shorter angle at home plate, you follow the flight of the ball the whole time and see it. Obviously, it's a little more challenging not in a big league park. I would propose that call going to the home plate umpire. >> Two strikes. Now, he's going to throw a low fastball off of that, gets the call and Dominguez is uh what? That's down, bro. Come on. Oh my god, I bet it's so down. He says, "What do you want me to say? It's a strike, huh? Get out of here." Puts his hand on his back, says, "Get on your way." Boone, the manager, he does not want his young player to get ejected, so he's going to come protect him. He says, "Hey!" Come on, Mark. No way you [ __ ] kicked that right there. And that was enough. That was enough to get tossed. You're out. The mask goes flying over his face. Get gone. That was all IT WAS. AH, [ __ ] HOW THE [ __ ] DO YOU KICK that right there? The umpire says, "I don't think I did." He says, "You don't think so?" "No, I don't have it down." "You don't think so? You butchered it." You butchered that. He butchered IT. NO CHANCE. Come on, Mark. Come on, Mark. And why are you quick to toss? I'm trying to protect my player. You were protecting your player. [ __ ] THAT'S [ __ ] YOU'RE yelling at me and you're talking down to me. NO, I'M PROTECTING MY [ __ ] PLAYER. YOU'RE NOT PROTECTING YOUR PLAYER. [ __ ] THAT IS [ __ ] YOU'RE [ __ ] [ __ ] YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER THE [ __ ] you want. You don't get to come out here and yell at me. That is [ __ ] and you know it is. GET HIM OUT OF HERE. I DIDN'T COME OUT HERE TO [ __ ] YELL AT YOU. AND he kind of did and he just came out and he said, "No way you messed that one up, right?" And then that got him tossed. So, um wasn't hearing it. He wasn't having it. He said, "You can't come out and you can't talk to me that way." Maybe he can't. Yankees and Red Sox tied at one in extra innings. DJ LeMahieu hits this one down the uh foul ball. Here's another angle. Let's take a look. Let's take a look. Let's take a look. Ooh. >> After review, the call on the field stands. FOUL BALL. >> OH, BOONE HATES IT. Can't believe it. [ __ ] NO WAY. HOW'S THAT [ __ ] [ __ ] STAND? [ __ ] UH-UH. Takes his gum, CHUCKS IT. ALL RIGHT. BOOM. GET OUT OF HERE. Not going to throw gum on my field. And now Boone is like, all right, well, now I'll tell you how I really feel. IT'S [ __ ] [ __ ] THE [ __ ] DOES THAT STAND? [ __ ] [ __ ] HOW THE [ __ ] DOES THAT STAND? HUH? HOW DOES THAT STAND? HOW DOES THAT STAND? HOW DOES THAT STAND, CHRIS? I'm wondering. Come on. How? Well, they couldn't see it. They couldn't see it, I guess. HOW THE HELL DOES THAT CALL STAND? THEN THEY TAKE YOUR GUYS' CALL. Come on, Jeremy. COME ON, JEREMY. YOU'RE STANDING RIGHT THERE. [ __ ] JEREMY, the umpire, is like, shrug, I don't know what to tell you, dog. Foul ball. I called it right, and they backed me up by saying it stands. Not saying it's confirmed. They didn't say it's confirmed. They just said it stands. [ __ ] Damn it. Boone walks off. The fans love it. They're throwing him a GET HIM OUT OF HERE. BYE-BYE. Yankees fans shell-shocked. YOU'VE GOT ONE THING TO SEE. COME ON. >> [laughter] >> CAN'T SEE? Tom Pain's like, excuse me, sir. Can you do that? That was ruder than the gum throw. Excuse me. I can't Can I throw you out again? Boone's like, "No, I'm leaving." Mm, okay. Okay, I feel like I should have thrown him out again for that. That was ruder than anything else that happened. Yankees and Astros are tied, four runs apiece. The bases are loaded. Taylor Trammell is up. Devin Williams on the bump. Ball two, ball three. Wants it as a strike, doesn't get it. There you go, strike one. And then ball four. Wanted that one, too. Didn't get it. Stares at the umpire. He's mad. Let's keep going. Let's keep it going. HIGH FIVE. WOO! KNOWS HE'S COMING OUT. BOONE COMES OUT. He looks at the umpire. He says, "You better be right on that." Yeah, you better be right ON THAT ONE. DAMN IT. NOT FUN. Devin's mad. He's going to walk off the mound. He's going to tell umpire, "I got four. You missed four. You want to get thrown out? Yeah? Fine. Good. You got it." Boom! Hit him with the boom. All right, I'm leaving anyway. I don't care. He leaves, goes in the dugout, says, "What up?" to his teammates. Brian Walsh, the umpire, staring into space. A little nervous. Devin, sad, despondent. Brian Walsh now looking at Boone, who's walking off. Give him a little side eye. Say it. Say something, Boone. What are you going to say? You going to say something to me? Come on. Come on. Boone says, "Fine, I'll let you know. I'll say it. You blew a big [ __ ] game for you." Yeah, it was a big game. And you blew it. Bam! Boom! To Boone, you're out. And now Boone's going to come up. He says, "I just [ __ ] watched you [ __ ] up a big game for you. You're [ __ ] all over the place. You're down, you're up, you're up, you're down. YOU [ __ ] STINK. YOU STINK! YOU [ __ ] STINK! [ __ ] way too many in a [ __ ] night for you. Way too many. It's [ __ ] Hey, hey, get out of here. Get out of here. All right. All right. Okay. All right. I'm I was leaving. And now I'm talking Why ARE YOU STILL TALKING? I I KNOW. [screaming] HUH? I WAS LEAVING. Then you wanted ME TO KEEP GOING. [ __ ] OH, [ __ ] it. How about Ramon, huh? STOP IT. STOP [ __ ] TALKING. STOP [ __ ] TALKING. ALL RIGHT. CHILL OUT. You stink. And you stink, too. You stink, too. Yeah, you. You. You two. Your zone is too big. It's too big. That's why it stunk. He leaves, walks down to the dugout, finds bench coach Blanche Brad, hands him the notes, and Brad is like, Wait. Wait, hold on. Where'd he go? Hey. Hey, Booney. Hey, DID YOU GET TOSSED? YEAH. YEAH. AH, OKAY. I'm the manager now. See you later. Okay, now let's skip to the next game. Altuve's up. There's a runner on second. Yankees are up four to three. It's the bottom of the sixth inning. This is the next game. The umpire behind home plate is now at third base. Little liner to third, caught by McMahon. Comes out of the glove. They say no catch. Who's the umpire on third? It's Brian Walsh. The umpire that was behind the plate the night before. Everything we just watched. Next day, moves to third base. He says no no catch. They're like, "What are you talking about?" Booney's like, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. He He caught it." Come on. No, he caught it. All right. Are you checking? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. On the transfer. ON THE TRANSFER. HEY, NO, HE'S LIKE, "WHOA, what do you No, I didn't know So, he goes out there and he's like, he caught the ball. Adrian, Adrian. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Okay, okay, okay. Adrian says we'll get together, we'll huddle up, we'll talk about it. Umpires unite, let's go. Brian Wash walks in. What are you guys talking about? What do you need to know? Did he catch it? No, he didn't catch it. No, it hit the ground first. Yeah, no. No, Boone says, "Okay, getting resolved. I'm calm I'm calm." He says, "Yeah, yeah, no, no. He didn't catch it. Okay, well, can't review that. Fine. That's fine." And then they walk their ways and the place stays the same and Ryan McMahon's at third. Oh my god, are you serious? Boone says, "What is going on?" He runs out and no Adrian? No Adrian? He says, "Well, it's his call." Okay. I'll be cool. I'm not going to get ejected. Look at me. Look at me. Hey, hey. He said, "Oh, we don't have catch." He says, "He caught THE [ __ ] BALL." NOW, BOONE'S LIKE, "OH MY GOODNESS. WOW." That's really great. Really is. That's unbelievable. That's unbelievable. OH MY GOD. They can't do anything about it. McMahon's just at third. Umpire's just like, "Okay, cool. Why is everyone I'm good." Boone didn't get ejected back there. Here's the replay, slow mo, stabilize, right into the glove. Now, he probably saw the dirt flick up and thought he had to do something more than he had to do and then as he tries to get the ball out of his glove, it drops. That means it's on the transfer. That means it's a catch. Now, MLB has come out and they have said that play should have been ruled a catch. Hey, how about it? In the fourth inning is when it started. Volpe tries to steal second base. Instead, punched out by umpire Brennan Miller. Same umpire from Savages in the box all those years ago. So, I don't know, there's some history. His most famous ejection and Boone is just waiting, waiting, waiting, eager, excited to get the news. Please tell me to challenge. Please Oh, you dummy. Challenge. Never seen an umpire ask for a review in that manner. He's so excited to do it and also so frustrated. Like, you idiot. Of course we're challenging on you. And I think this is why the Yankees reviewed cuz they saw right there. And as when it looks like Volpe's toe goes down, they looks like he might be on the base and that would be egregious. That would be egregious and he would be safe. This one is crazy close and they don't really have any definitive angle. I think them saying the call stands is fine. And he did punch him out in live time. A very emphatically. As a big punch. Bam! UMPIRING'S WEIRD, HUH? BAM! THAT'S JUST BAM! THAT'S THE MOTION. It's so aggressive. So, Boone's just waiting. They took a while on this one. Chomping on the gum, waiting, getting irritated. At this point he's thinking, "Okay, this is not going to get overturned, huh?" Because that gum is just getting chomped, getting blown. He's getting irritated. He's all of a sudden there's like he's getting itchy. He wants to scratch. The hat's coming off. Blah blah blah blah. >> The call on THE FIELD STANDS. THE RUNNER IS OUT. NEW YORK WILL LOSE A CHALLENGE. >> [ __ ] GUM THROW. [ __ ] stink. You stink. [ __ ] terrible. So mad. The hat's going up. Brows getting furrowed, looking around. You're all Oh my god. [ __ ] [ __ ] You [ __ ] stink. I like Teddy says stink. Be like, you freaking suck. [ __ ] stink. Brandon is like, "Oh, okay. Well, uh uh a [ __ ] bad call. Bear down, BRANDON." LATER ON IN THE GAME, BOTTOM of the seventh, two outs, Yankees have a runner on, they're up two, that is they say caught for the third out again. Now, the Yankees don't have any challenges cuz they lost their challenge. Boone looks and he says, "Did he catch it? Let me know just for fun." And on this one, I think he didn't catch it. Obviously, I have my biases as a Yankee fan. I don't know if they would overturn it, but it does seem to me that that ball gets gets helped, gets smothered by the grass there. He gets word from his replay crew that he didn't catch it is what he's told and he says, "Nice going. Good job." And he's like, "You're out of here. Don't tell me nice going when I know you don't mean it. That's rude." So, now he's going to run out and says, "You [ __ ] kicked another one. You missed another one. You [ __ ] missed another one. Yeah. He [ __ ] dropped the ball. Cuz you had Well, he was safe here. Yeah? You saw it? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? And then, this was dropped, but I don't have a [ __ ] challenge because you had a [ __ ] bad call, wide open. We shouldn't have looked at that play. If it was so wide open, why wasn't IT OVERTURNED? I HAVE NO [screaming] IDEA. BUT, BECAUSE you made a bad call that you [ __ ] saw cuz you were standing in perfect position. [ __ ] AND NOW, THAT'S TWO NOW CUZ THAT [ __ ] HIT. SHOCKED YOU MISSED IT. [ __ ] A. OH, BOY. The [ __ ] That's [ __ ] He was [ __ ] safe and he [ __ ] saw it. Come on. Called him out. HE WASN'T EVEN LOOKING. [ __ ] TERRIBLE. I've never seen Boone miss speak so much. Usually he's so mad but he just hits every word and he says synced and he makes his point. He's really hot. He's flustered. He's starting sentences and not finishing them and getting the new one. He's hot. [ __ ] WAKE UP. DO SOMETHING. >> [laughter] >> SHUT THE YOU SAVE IT. I DON'T WANT TO [ __ ] hear it. It's [ __ ] terrible. He's mad. He's really mad. Two very close calls. >> [laughter] >> I don't know if you can They're hard to get in live time. But he is He's really mad. Maybe some of the savages in the box stuff does run deep. Maybe he's sick of Brandon burst in his bubble. I'll ask about it next time he joins us on Talking Yanks. Aaron Boone is about to get ejected for the 50th time in his career and it's a fun one. We got hot mics. We got lip readings. We got funny sayings. We've got Shane Bieber on the bump. Luis Garcia and that pitch is called a strike and manager Aaron Boone says something about it cuz he doesn't like it and umpire Vic Carapazza hears him and he says this. >> What did YOU JUST SAY? WHAT DID YOU SAY? I DIDN'T HEAR YOU. WHAT DID YOU SAY? >> BOONE RESPONDS, "I THOUGHT it was down." To which Vic says, "Yeah. Get out of here." That's exactly what I thought you said. "I did actually hear you." Boone's like, "What?" I roll smile. Are you serious? Hey, tell him to tap his head which is illegal. Managers are not allowed to tell the batter to tap their head. If Boone did that, Vic would have probably ejected him and said he can't challenge it. You're not allowed to tell him. And now Boone is going to say, "Don't take your horse [ __ ] night out on me. Don't take my horse [ __ ] night? You're missing half your [ __ ] calls up there." "We can't challenge all of them." "I only missed three." >> "Bullshit." >> "Besides the ones that got challenged, you missed all three to Mac." "Oh, well." "Oh, well? That's a great attitude. Great." >> "No, you can't argue WITH THE [ __ ] TAPS." >> I THINK, YOU KNOW, Vic's point was like, "Oh, well. You still can't argue. Even if you think I missed them, you still can't argue." But Boone is taking it like, "Oh, you don't care if you get them right or wrong?" That's a great attitude. "We can't challenge every [ __ ] THING." >> "WHY NOT?" >> "THERE'S TWO OUTS AND NOBODY ON." >> "WHY NOT?" >> "BECAUSE." >> "WHY?" >> "You have to do better." >> "No, I'm I'm doing good." "Night." >> "No, you're wrong." >> "You're having a horse [ __ ] [ __ ] night, and you know it. >> "Don't point in my [ __ ] face, >> Aaron." >> "And you KNOW IT. >> "Don't [ __ ] come over here and challenge me." >> I'm going to [ __ ] challenge you." >> "I didn't say anything the whole [ __ ] time. You just throw me out." >> you can't argue. You're having a horrible [ __ ] night, >> "Then why do you even have the challenges?" >> and you [ __ ] know it. >> "Then why do they have the challenges?" >> "Bullshit. I don't know anything. [ __ ] get better." >> "Okay." "Fucking horse shit." >> And that was that. Fun fact, this was Boone's 50th ejection, milestone. I wonder if he keeps a scorecard or something. I don't know, you got to celebrate it some way. One umpire has ejected him 10% of the times, and that's our guy Vic Carapazza. He has now ejected Boone five times. No other ump has ejected Boone three times. So, Vic, stand out winner, who's ejected Aaron Boone the most. Did he get better? Boone told him to get better, and he said, "Okay, I'll try." No, he missed four more in the game. They all went unchallenged, which is I think people are going to feel both ways about this. One is, "Yeah, players have to challenge it. That's an option now. Tell your team to get better at challenging." And the other is, we still want umpires to make the right call. Otherwise, up the amount of challenges they get, so they aren't scared of wasting them cuz this series, the next game, Hunter Wendelstedt, we can put the stats up here, is the worst-called game of the year. So, there you go. Did he bait an ejection? Yeah. Yeah, that whole time when he was like, "What did you say? I didn't hear you. That's what I thought you said. I was just trying to get you to say it again."
