Furious Yankees Fans Roast Aaron Boone After Jazz Chisholm Update
Across over three decades in Major League Baseball, it appears that New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has never heard the word 'accountability.'
Not only did Boone keep second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. in Saturday's 2-0 loss following a viral baserunning error, he defended his All-Star slugger in a postgame press conference. Chisholm explained the improbable double play because he believed Miami Marlins second baseman Xavier Edwards would drop the ball.
Unsurprisingly, Boone included Chisholm in Sunday's starting lineup — and, unsurprisingly, Yankees fans ripped the veteran manager on social media.
'Why on EARTH Jazz in the lineup??' an X/Twitter user asked. 'No accountability, what a disgrace.'
Added another: 'So how will we mess up and embarrass ourselves even more? Perhaps another mental error like Jazz or another embarrassing pitching and offensive performance, go ahead, do your worst.'
In fairness to Boone, he's already working without Aaron Judge, who is expected back next week from an elbow injury. Veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is now a platoon player amid a prolonged slump, and the Yankees realistically cannot play Giancarlo Stanton in the outfield.
Boone only has so many realistic lineup options, and benching Chisholm when the Yankees have fallen into third place is counterproductive. However, some social media users nonetheless believe that Chisholm should not have started on Sunday.
'Nice to see Chisholm rewarded for not even trying,' read one comment.
'When can we sign our kids up for the Jazz Fundamentals Clinic?' quipped another fan.
Boone and the Yankees need Chisholm to regain his power stroke, and fast. Saturday's 2-0 loss dropped the Yankees to half a game behind the Boston Red Sox in both the AL East and Wild Card standings.
Chisholm is only hitting .210 with one home run and a 19-5 K-BB ratio in 58 second-half plate appearances.
'Just have fun,' another user sarcastically suggested. 'Don't embarrass us today. I hope you all get snack packs on the flight to Texas afterwards and Boone reads y'all a bed time story.'This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Aug 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Lakers' Adou Thiero threw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Dodgers
Adou Thiero was among a contingent of Los Angeles Lakers players who threw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend at Dodger Stadium. Thiero was joined by teammates Deandre Ayton and Jake LaRavia on the mound as the Dodgers hosted the Toronto Blue Jays. The group was seen warming up prior to the game to prepare, and later posed for photos to celebrate the occasion. The offseason period is a great chance for incoming rookies to ingratiate themselves with their new teammates and the community. Thiero, Ayton and LaRavia are each new to the team, with the gathering representing a good opportunity to build chemistry off the court. Thiero was the 36th pick after averaging a career-high 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals on 54.5% shooting from the field in 27 games last season at Arkansas. He was tied for the most points on the team (407), despite missing eight games due to a left knee hyperextension. The 21-year-old missed summer league as he continued to recover from his knee injury. He has been in market for much of the offseason and was recently spotted working out at the team practice facility in preparation for his rookie campaign. Thiero reportedly agreed to sign a three-year, $5.95 million contract with the Lakers via the second-round pick exception. The team was excited to add him and is eager to get him back on the court.
