Furious Yankees Fans Roast Aaron Boone After Jazz Chisholm Update
Furious Yankees Fans Roast Aaron Boone After Jazz Chisholm Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. 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.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. doubled up on popup in latest Yankees base-running gaffe
MIAMI — It's almost an everyday occurrence for the New York Yankees. Their latest inexcusable play happened with one out in the second inning of Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins when Paul Goldschmidt hit a routine pop fly to second baseman Xavier Edwards. Jazz Chisholm Jr. was on first base after drawing a walk. After Edwards caught the popup, he caught Chisholm too far off the bag, throwing to first base for a double play to end the inning. Advertisement Chisholm remained in the game, but when he got back to the dugout, the Yankees' second baseman and manager Aaron Boone were seen walking down into the clubhouse together. Boone sometimes does this to avoid television cameras picking up conversations between him and his players. Minutes later, Boone was spotted appearing to scold first-base coach Travis Chapman for Chisholm getting thrown out. Jazz Chisholm gets caught sleeping on a pop up to second and the Marlins turn the double play — Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) August 2, 2025 On Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays in the ninth inning, Yankees catcher Austin Wells was thrown out on the bases after forgetting how many outs there were. Boone said that mistake 'can't happen,' while Wells called himself an 'idiot' for the base-running gaffe. In Friday's game against the Marlins, the Yankees did not have any base-running blunders, but new addition José Caballero missed a groundball hit to him in right field, which ultimately led to Miami's walk-off win after New York blew leads of 6-0 and 9-4. The Yankees have struggled this season with basic fundamentals after general manager Brian Cashman said cleaning up the sloppiness was a main objective for his front office. Chisholm getting thrown out on the bases might be the most egregious of the team's mental mistakes this season. This story will be updated.

Yankees star Jazz Chisholm ruthlessly savaged by MLB fans after Home Run Derby humiliation
Baseball fans are mercilessly mocking New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm, who had a night to forget at the 2025 Home Run Derby in Atlanta. This year's derby only featured three of the top-ten home run hitters in the league. While top-ten hitters Cal Raleigh, James Wood, and Junior Caminero participated, the league had to go as low as 43rd on the home run list to fill out a roster of ten stars to participate. As a result, some shocking performances were turned in - but none worse than Jazz Chisholm. Chisholm, who is currently 31st on the MLB home run list, stepped into the batters box and hit a paltry three home runs on 38 swings. It was by far the least amount of home runs in the first round for the night - with the next lowest number coming from Matt Olson, who hit 15 homers. Chisholm was eviscerated on social media - with memes mocking him popping up moments after he was eliminated. Memes compared him to George Costanza, Billy Beane of 'Moneyball' fame, and his struggling Yankees teammate Anthony Volpe. 'Fun fact: Jazz Chisholm Jr. chose to wear the jersey number 3 to foreshadow the amount of home runs he was going to hit tonight... chills,' joked one user on X. Boston sports fan Tyler Milliken joked that former Red Sox minor leaguer Bobby Dalbec 'would've put on a better show than Jazz Chisholm. I know that.' 'People are mad about [Milwaukee Brewers rookie Jacob] Misiorowski being in the All Star Game when we should really be asking why the f Jazz Chisholm was in the Home Run Derby,' said another account. Another account raged, 'This is a black eye on Major League Baseball and Rob Manfred. Eugenio Suarez, an all-star with 31 home runs (4th in MLB), wanted to participate in the Derby. MLB wouldn't let him so they could let Jazz Chisholm, a guy with 4 HRs on the road this season, play. Hope you're happy.' 'Jazz Chisholm needs a friend in his life who would have told him no when he said he was gonna sign up for the Home Run Derby,' joked another. Fans mocked Chisholm and blasted MLB for letting him participate despite his low numbers In a season where the Yankees have struggled to keep momentum going, Chisholm has been one of the few bright spots. His 17 home runs is good for second on the team behind Aaron Judge, who did not compete in the Home Run Derby despite being second in the league in the statistic. As for the event itself, Seattle Mariners superstar Cal Raleigh won the Home Run Derby with 18 blasts in the final round to outlast Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays. Raleigh, who leads MLB in home runs at the All-Star Break, hit 17 homers in the first round to barely survive into the semifinals after StatCast determined he broke a tie with Brent Rooker by 0.1 feet. He then outlasted Oneil Cruz in the semifinals before beating Caminero and becoming the first Mariner to win the event since Ken Griffey Jr. in 1999.

MLB Home Run Derby 2025 live updates: Cal Raleigh, Junior Caminero advance to final
Follow live as eight MLB sluggers launch homers in Atlanta Getty Images ESPN chose a good time to have Chris Sale on set for an impromptu interview. It allowed the broadcast to focus more on Sale chopping it up with a crew that includes ex-White Sox teammate Todd Frazier instead of Jazz Chisholm's round, which ends at just three home runs. The bonus round is coming up next, but barring a miracle, Chisholm is done. Getty Images To my colleagues' point, Jazz Chisholm has just one home run in his first 18 swings with 1:20 left. The obligatory brutal Home Run Derby round has arrived. The Derby announcer is telling fans not to count out Jazz but unless he goes ham in the next 1:25, he's as good as gone. Getty Images There's always gotta be one Derby round that makes you wish you could fast-forward through it, for the guy's sake. Jazz Chisholm Jr. is having that round. It's a family affair at the Home Run Derby as Jazz Chisholm Jr. is having his step-father pitch to him. Cal Raleigh has assembled a team with his father and brother pitching and catching, respectively. Elsewhere, Byron Buxton's designated Gatorade givers were his sons. I know the rules have changed a lot, but whatever happened to guys coming out and doing terrible in the Home Run Derby? Chipper Jones hitting only two homers in 2000 scarred me as a child. And that was actually better than when he hit only one homer in 1998. Troy Glaus, Bret Boone, Jason Bay and Brandon Inge are among players who didn't hit a single home run in their appearances. It's a crime that Chisholm's walkup isn't All That Jazz. No one appreciates a musical anymore. Really good move for MLB media to have a former player (and a slugger) like Ryan Howard handle the post-round interviews for Derby contestants. Even though we can't hear what he's saying on ESPN, players seem thrilled to see him. The Yankees third (and now second) baseman is up — Brent Rooker's 17 home runs is the mark he needs to reach for a chance at the next round. Oneil Cruz: 21 Junior Caminero: 21 Byron Buxton: 20 Brent Rooker: 17 James Wood: 16 Ties are broken by which player hit the longest home run. Buxton had seven home runs when two of his sons came up to him with a towel and Gatorade during his timeout. He added seven before the bonus round, then hit six more to finish with 20. Getty Images Four straight home runs before the first out of the bonus round for Byron Buxton! That eliminates James Wood, a tough outcome for the Nationals youngster after he got this Derby started in style. But Buxton has gotten the crowd on his side as he gets more comfortable. Byron Buxton is making the most of his homecoming to Georgia, making things look effortless from the batter's box. With Byron Buxton's 17th home run, James Wood is eliminated. Tough to be the first guy to go. The power has shown up. Buxton finishes his first round (pre-bonus round) with 14 home runs. He needs three more to pass James Wood and avoid elimination... Getty Images His home runs are true skyscrapers, but he calls timeout with 1:18 left — and only seven homers hit so far. Seventy-five homers hit by four players thus far, totaling a distance of 6.2 miles. Or, an everyday jog for…someone (not me) here, I'm sure.
