Aaron Boone gave the Yankees a spark in the Bronx after getting ejected, and it seemed to fire up his team. The moment felt like a turning point. Meanwhile, Rockies manager Bud Black tried the same move, but the results were flat. The Rockies have been sloppy and struggling, and Black’s ejection attempt didn’t carry the same energy. He got into it with the umpire over what looked like a questionable call, tossed his seed, spit, and argued hard. The ump warned him twice, then tossed him. Black didn’t hold back, but it didn’t change anything for his team. The moment lacked juice. No big rally followed. It was more awkward than inspiring.
The ejection sequence itself didn’t have the chaos or passion to spark momentum. There was some yelling, some back-and-forth, some heavy breathing through the mask, but no real fight. Fans and teammates didn’t latch onto it. It came off forced and fizzled fast. Boone’s ejection felt like it meant something. Black’s just felt routine. That kind of sums up the Rockies’ season so far. A team in need of a jolt, trying to find it in the wrong places.
