During the third game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Yankees, a notable incident involving Yankees coach Aaron Boone occurred.

Amid the game, Aaron Boone was ejected for contesting a 3-1 strike call that was deemed extremely poor against player DJ LeMahieu.

The umpire’s decision to call a strikeout on that particular play was strongly questioned by Aaron Boone, who approached the umpire to discuss the call.

The Yankees’ coach expressed dissatisfaction and argued that the decision was incorrect.

Moreover, it is worth noting that this wasn’t the first time Aaron Boone was ejected this season. Since the beginning of the season, he has been discharged on multiple occasions. On December 4th, during a game against the Cleveland Indians, he was ejected by umpire Vanover. On May 15th, facing the Toronto Blue Jays, umpire Vondrak’s turn was to eject the coach. On May 21st, during the matchup with the Cincinnati Reds, umpire Jimenez decided to oust him. On May 25th, in a game against the Baltimore Orioles, umpire Moscoso ejected Aaron Boone. And finally, on July 2nd, in the game against the St. Louis Cardinals, umpire Merzel erupted the Yankees’ coach.

These ejections demonstrate the intensity and passion with which Aaron Boone defends his team and players, even when the team’s results fall short of expectations. Although ejections can result in punishments or suspensions, Boone is willing to fight for the Yankees and do whatever it takes to ensure fairness during the games.

Now, it is up to you to form your opinion on this behavior. Do you agree with Aaron Boone’s actions, or do you believe his actions were unnecessary?

Aaron Boone is a cry baby, and leaves his binky and blankie in the clubhouse to cuddle up with after every ejection and loss. Pick and choose your battles “Cry baby” Boone. Boone is proving that he does not want to spend time with his team in the dugout due to his early ejection tirades.
