What Happened

In the bottom of the ninth inning, the New York Yankees trail by one run against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yankees manager Aaron Boone is having a heated discussion with the umpires after they refuse to review a play where Yankees outfielder Wade LeBlanc was hit by a pitch. Boone is visibly frustrated, arguing that the umpires should have checked the replay to confirm whether LeBlanc was hit. "Can you go check it?" Boone pleads with the umpires. "I'm asking you, can you go check it? I don't have a replay already use this replay got it wrong." The umpires maintain their position, stating they do not have the ability to review the play. Boone continues to express his displeasure, saying "This has been a [expletive] bad game." Boone's tirade escalates and the umpire ejects him from the game. As Boone walks off the field, he removes his chewing gum and confronts the umpires, saying "Okay, what am I gonna say? Thank you? Something good, think of something good, Boonie." The umpire tries to calm the situation, saying "You can't question that." Boone responds, "I know I'm not questioning the [expletive] rule, I'm not questioning you. I believe that some like some of that he's saying I had runners on second, I have runners on first, it wasn't for you guys. I believe that I do believe that um, he was horseshit over there and now we got horseshit over here and over there. He's getting hit and that's [expletive] [expletive]." Boone's frustration is palpable as he continues to argue his case, pleading with the umpires to review the play. The heated exchange ultimately leads to Boone's ejection, leaving the Yankees to finish the game without their manager. The incident occurs with the Yankees trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth inning, with runners on base and high stakes on the line. Boone's outburst reflects his deep frustration with the umpiring and the Yankees' struggles in the game.
