Aaron Boone had been stewing all game long. And by the eighth inning, he had reached the boiling point.

It all started in the fifth inning, when Aaron Judge crushed a 3-2 changeup, sending it down the left-field line. And it looked like a game-changing home run from the bat. But then, shockingly, third base umpire Scott Barry didn’t buy it. So he called it foul. Even though many felt the ball was fair.

But the real chaos only started after.

The New York Yankees challenged, of course, but the call stood. Maybe it has something to do with the short foul pole at Steinbrenner Field, or the crew missed it. Either way, Judge stepped back into the box looking distressed. After all, it ended up not being his day to hit his no. 323 career homer. On the next pitch, though, he got rung up on a borderline strike. And that was it for Boone.

Boone stormed up from the dugout and looked like he was ready to fight. Plate umpire Adam Beck gave him the quick rundown. But Boone didn’t want to listen, and then he marched over to Scott Barry to give a little piece too. Boone was red, wild, and mostly fed up. But then, because of his behavior, he was ejected.

And after his ejection, the fans’ reactions to the entire ordeal are all over the place.

Yankees fans’ mixed reactions to Aaron Boone’s outburst

After their 4-0 win against the Rays, Boone didn’t appear for the media immediately. He took his time to watch the game replay and again confirm, “It’s a home run.” But for fans, it all seemed like a moo point!

Fans couldn’t help but just ask Boone to shut it! And let’s face it, this is not the first time Aaron Boone is at it with his theatrics. Sunday’s ejection was his 40th one in the last few years. Fans are simply tired of the drama. Sure, Boone had the right to be mad, but it made less sense because the Yankees were already at a good lead. It was all passion, no purpose to most.

The fan is pointing at the final pitch Judge saw in the fifth. The strike that ended his at-bat. And while the pitch itself was close, the real frustration truly was the foul call earlier. It looked like a surefire home run. Replays do show the ball as fair, but the call stood. This left a bitter taste, making fans reel from this strikeout decision even more.

One user couldn’t help but just point out how whiny Boone is, and this is a major complaint about him. Not just of this sole incident, though. Boone has been known to chirp at umps for the smallest things. He complained about the strike zone the entire day, too. Like when Dominguez got run up on two questionable pitches just early in this game itself. So it’s not a new habit, and no, it’s not because Aaron Judge is his favorite, which many do point out!

But amidst all the drama, one user did point out what savages the guys at the Yankees are. Well, even though Judge did get out, the team won. And the real hero of the game was no one else but Max Fried, who was lights out. Max Fried was the one who mowed down the Rays hitters like nobody’s business. Seven strikeouts in 7.2 innings—he ate the Rays up. Fried’s performance was seamless, and his control was undeniable. He shone throughout!

A convinced fan pointed out how the ball, getting hit by Judge, reached the trees. And how the decision by MLB is a disgrace. To be fair, it did look like a massive home run. However, things didn’t go well at the New York Yankees part. And mostly it’s an umpire’s call that’s to be questioned. Plus, the pole seems to be an issue at the stadium. Funny enough, the Rays are playing at the spring training ground of the Yankees themselves! Maybe that was the real stinger here for the Bronx faithful.

Well, what’s done can’t be undone, but at least the Yankees ended up winning the game. Losing it would have been the real heartbreak. Did you feel the home run called foul was wrong, too? Or was it the strikeout? Let us know your thoughts, too!
