Jazz Chisholm ejected after former teammate Jose Trevino encourages the umpire to do it, a breakdown
What Happened
Jazz Chisholm Jr. steps up to the plate in the top of the ninth inning, with the game tied. The Miami Marlins' young star takes a couple of pitches from New York Yankees pitcher Deivi Garcia, including a changeup that appears to be low but is called a strike by the umpire. Chisholm expresses his frustration with the call, arguing that the pitch was below the zone. The umpire explains that the changeup tends to stay up, but Chisholm is not convinced. Chisholm is forced to protect the plate, and on the next pitch, he swings at a high fastball, unable to recover from the previous strike call. Clearly upset, Chisholm vents his frustration in the dugout, muttering to himself about the bad call. Former teammate Jose Trevino, now with the Yankees, notices Chisholm's anger and playfully tells the umpire to eject him. To Trevino's apparent surprise, the umpire takes the bait and tosses Chisholm from the game. A visibly confused and angry Chisholm argues with the umpire, insisting that he was not even speaking to him and that the ejection was unfair. Marlins manager Don Mattingly comes out to defend his player, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone remains stoic, likely knowing that Chisholm's emotions were getting the better of him. Chisholm continues to voice his displeasure as he is escorted down the dugout steps, still protesting the umpire's decision. The next day, with Trevino behind the plate, Chisholm steps up to the plate and crushes a two-run home run. As he rounds the bases, he turns to Trevino and says, "That's for last night, punk," with both players sharing a smile. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions between players and umpires, as well as the camaraderie and playful rivalries that can exist between former teammates. Chisholm's emotional reaction and the unexpected ejection add drama to the tight game, while his home run the following day serves as a satisfying conclusion to the story.
