The Yankees game got out of control with a string of ejections after some questionable calls behind the plate. Cameron Rabin started things off by arguing a called strike early in his at-bat, a pitch that looked outside. Yankees manager Aaron Boone stepped in but didn’t last long before getting tossed. The strike zone looked inconsistent, and Yankees players made it clear they weren’t happy. Voight banged on the dugout railing, Gardner thought about doing the same, and the dugout buzzed with frustration.
Things escalated when Phil Cuzzi got involved. Multiple players, including Romine, were tossed in quick succession. Romine claimed he didn’t say anything and didn’t even look at the ump, but still got ejected. Cuzzi pointed aggressively, and it seemed like he was itching to throw someone out. Gardner tried to fix the top of the dugout with his bat again, and even Glayber Torres was confused by what was happening. Judge walked over to check in as everyone tried to make sense of the chaos.
The fans at Yankee Stadium were vocal and loved the back-and-forth, especially when the players showed visible frustration. Tempers stayed hot throughout as the team reacted to tight, inconsistent strike calls and quick ejections. It turned into more of a spectacle than a baseball game, with the Yankees dugout airing every complaint loud and clear.
