Aaron Boone lost it again after a missed call and a failed replay review left him fed up. Early in the game, a close call didn’t go his way, and later when Tyler Wade said he got hit by a pitch, Boone asked the umpires to check if it hit Wade’s foot. The crew told him they had already used their replay and couldn’t check again. Boone, already frustrated from a previous blown call involving Gleyber Torres a few games back, wasn’t having it.
He pressed the umpires, asking why they couldn’t at least try to review it or check for themselves. When they refused, Boone said something along the lines of “this has been a [expletive] bad game,” which got him tossed. After getting ejected, he walked out, spit out his gum, and started into a heated exchange with the ump. Boone asked why he was thrown out and kept pushing, saying he wasn’t questioning the umpire or the rules, just frustrated with how the calls were stacking against his team.
He pointed out how he had runners on base and felt those missed calls had real consequences. Boone believed the hit-by-pitch was mishandled, just like other earlier calls, and said so directly. He ended the argument with a sarcastic jab about the umpires needing to check themselves, not just rely on replay. It was another classic Boone blow-up with clear tension over the limits of replay and the inconsistencies in officiating.
