The Yankees had a rough weekend sweep by the Miami Marlins that was underscored by some sloppy plays. One of the more brutal of which came in the second inning of Saturday’s loss when infielder Jazz Chisholm was doubled off on a routine popup to second base.
After the inning, Yankees manager Aaron Boone was seen having a tense conversation with first base coach Travis Chapman.
Boone spoke about that discussion during an appearance on “Talkin’ Yanks” on Tuesday.
“I wish I hadn’t done it. I wish they wouldn’t have seen me and Chappy..and ..my ire wasn’t so much directed at Chappy. It was more about Jazz and the play that just happened, and I hadn’t gotten a chance to talk to Jazz yet. So I was just like, ‘What happened there?’ No I don’t like really the camera seeing any of that cause I’m not here to appease...I’m here to address things my own way and I like those things to be private. Whether I raise my voice with someone or whether I’m having a quiet conversation or one on one, whatever it is, I don’t do those things for ... I’m not here to do this to give red meat to people.”
Chisholm explained after the 2-0 loss that he was expecting Marlins’ Xavier Edwards to purposefully drop the pop fly — but he didn’t. And since Chisholm’s first move was to second, when Edwards caught the pop fly, Chisholm had no chance to get back to the bag before the double play was turned.
Boone did not bench Chisholm after the play.
“Can’t get caught there,” Boone said. “I have no issue with the initial pressure, because I understand infielders will try and swap you out, but you’ve got to know exactly where you are to be able to get yourself back safely.”
