Tampa – Jazz Chisholm Jr. wanted to try to do a better job to keep your emotions under control.
But a portion of bacon on Thursday evening made him move forward.
Chisholm was expelled in the seventh round for pleading a third strike by the marble referee John Bacon on a 3-2 launch which seemed to be below the area.
The second yankees base player argued for a few seconds before losing his composure and being launched, having to be retained by manager Aaron Boone in the 6-3 victory against the Rays at the Steinbrenner Field.
A few minutes later, Chisholm returned to the clubhouse and pulled a post on X: “Not even F – King Close !!!!!”
“I’m here trying to win a match,” said Chisholm afterwards. “I am here fighting the best and working my buttocks with each bat. I try to be the best player I can be. So when I have the impression that something is spoiled, I lost my emotions, I lost my cool.
“At the same time, I still have to be able to stay there and go out and play in defense for my team. This is why I am here, to be able to stay there, knock in the middle of the alignment and play defense. On me, I must be better in this aspect to help my team. ”
Boone tried to run out on the ground to defuse the situation before Chisholm was ejected – or to be launched instead of him – but it was too late.
“I would like to be the one who goes there,” said Boone. “It happens from time to time. I hope that in the future, it’s me. I don’t like our players, but I also understand how difficult it is to dismiss a difficult field 3-2, so I understand that there will be an emotion there.”
Chisholm could be subject to a kind of league discipline, probably a fine, for its article on X.
The 27 -year -old said that Bacon had told him something that made him move forward but refused to get into details.
“Whatever he said, I didn’t like it, and that’s what brought me to it,” said Chisholm. “It doesn’t matter. I was in the moment of the moment. I was upset. We have exceeded it now. ”
Chisholm finished Thursday by hitting .169 in the season with a .723 OPS at 19 games.
Six of his 12 strokes were circuits, but he said that the frustration of the first on the plate may have played a role in his anger.
“I have the impression that a lot of things did not happen in my sense, but that does not give me the excuse to go there and act like that,” said Chisholm. “I’m a ball player. I have emotions. I know that I acted like that in the past, but that’s what I really worked on for the present. … Everyone makes mistakes, but at the same time, I become emotional. I become emotional in a game, especially when I think I’m right.
“I’m still angry, it was a bullet, but I’m definitely angry with myself for having lost my composure. I feel like I have matured in the past two years. ”
