Aaron Judge and fans react after DJ LeMahieu hit sparks new MLB outrage
Saturday night's Yankees vs. Red Sox game brought more than just baseball action. A key moment during the match has once again sparked frustration across the league. What looked like a game-changing hit turned into a heated argument, a tossed manager, and fresh complaints about the way decisions are made.
This isn't the first time—and fans are running out of patience.
DJ LeMahieu's hit causes confusion and fury in Yankees vs. Red Sox game
Referee Jeremie Rehak penalized DJ LeMahieu for a powerful line drive during a tight New York Yankees against Boston Red Sox fight on June 15, 2025 at Fenway Park. Later in the game, the Yankees were 2-1 behind; the ball seemed to be near the first baseline.
The call startled both the fans and the players. Yankees manager Aaron Boone immediately challenged it.
The call lingered, but replay indicated the ball may have landed on the line after the bounce. Boone screamed, obviously furious, and was pushed off by the umpire.
Speaking after the game, LeMahieu told reporters, 'It looked to me like the ball didn't go foul until after it bounced. They reviewed it, but obviously frustrating. We're fighting for baserunners right there.' Boone also shared his thoughts, saying, 'A quarter of the ball was on the line.

It takes a lot of imagination to say that's foul.'

Wild 10 Seconds In IPL! Umpire Confused, Ishan Kishan Walks, Snickometer Says NOT OUT
Aaron Judge, Max Goodman, and fans all speak up on MLB's umpire troubles
This isn't the first time the Yankees have faced this problem. A few months ago, star slugger Aaron Judge had a hit called foul that should've been a home run. Judge had said back then, 'They missed it, and I've just got to move on.'
After this latest incident, MLB insider Max Goodman posted on X (formerly Twitter), 'Whether the DJ LeMahieu line drive was fair or foul… MLB can get these calls right consistently if they implemented what we've seen in tennis.'
Fans online echoed that frustration. One wrote, 'No more human error. Give us the tech like in soccer and tennis.' Another said, 'It's clearly the umpire union stopping progress. Fix it already.'
Many believe MLB's Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system—tested in spring games using Hawk-Eye cameras—could help. The system had a 52.2% success rate in over 288 spring training games, but Commissioner Rob Manfred says it may not arrive until 2026.
With growing pressure from fans and players alike, calls for fairer tech-based solutions are louder than ever.
