Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. has received a one-game suspension following his ejection from Thursday night's 6-3 win

Tampa —Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. was ejected from Thursday night's 6-3 win over the Rays, following a questionable strike three call from home plate umpire John Bacon. 

The pitch just before Jazz was called out on strikes, was right on the corner of the strike zone that home plate umpire John Bacon called a ball, so some believe the blown strike three call may have been a make-up call for that.

Just minutes after Jazz was thrown out of the ball game, he took to social media to voice his opinion on Twitter, now known as X.. “Not even f—ing close,” Jazz said in a Tweet on the call.

“I mean, you know we're ballplayers, we're in the heat of the moment.” Jazz said, “We want to win every at-bat, and every pitch, so when you work that hard and it doesn't go your way, you think it's a ball, then you get fired up. I’m very passionate about my game.”

Jazz voiced his opinion on X, which violated MLB's social media policy. As a result, he received a $5,000 fine and a one-game suspension. 

“I was a little bit surprised,” Jazz said about his suspension before Saturday’s game. “I feel like we should be able to say whatever we want to say. At the end of the day, it’s a lash out. So it probably won’t happen again.”

Manager Aaron Boone tried to get between Bacon and Jazz before Jazz was ejected, but it was too late. 

“I’d like to be the one going there,” Boone said. “It happens every now and then, and hopefully in the future, that’s me. I don’t love our players going, but I also understand how difficult it is to lay off a tough 3-2 pitch there. I understand there’s going to be some emotion there.”

Jazz is appealing his one-game suspension. He was in the lineup yesterday and is back in the lineup today. This is the fifth time in Jazz’s big league career he has been ejected from a game, and the first time any Yankee has been thrown out of a game this season.

“I’m still mad that it was a ball, but I’m definitely mad at myself for losing my cool,” Chisholm said. “At the same time, I’ve got these guys in here for that. They’ve got my back. I can go back out there tomorrow, and it’ll be all right.”
