Michael Kay rips Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm: ‘Really bad look’
Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm was ejected to end the sixth inning during the Yankees’ 5-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox Sunday night after arguing that home plate umpire Adam Hamari should’ve consulted with the third base umpire on a check swing third strike.
Chisholm tossed his helmet in disgust after getting tossed.

Anthony Rizzo, a former teammate of Chisholm’s, also had some choice words on NBC.
Rizzo said it “shows a little bit of immaturity” for Chisholm Jr. to get ejected.
“You just have to be smarter there,” Rizzo said during NBC’s broadcast on Peacock. “Jazz is such a big part of this offense and they need to get him going and to get ejected there…it shows a little bit of immaturity there.
“The team’s scuffling, they need him in the lineup, and now he puts [Anthony] Volpe in a tough position coming in completely cold.”

He’s still on base for 28 homers and 45 stolen bases, Kay pointed out.
It’s been quite the week for Chisholm who was called out by manager Aaron Boone for having a lollipop in his mouth while playing defense.
Boone said on the “Talkin’ Yankees” podcast the incident “pisses me off.”

“I don’t think it’s a bad look,” he said. “I’m playing a game, a kid’s game. I’m having fun.”
