Yankees manager Aaron Boone will face repercussions for his explicit rant at rookie home-plate umpire Brennan Miller.
Chief of Baseball Officer for Major League Baseball Joe Torre announced Friday that Boone will receive a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for his hellish behavior, including contact with the umpire, during the bottom of the second inning of Game 1 of the Yankees’ doubleheader against the Rays on Thursday.
“You’re having a piece-of-s- -t start to this game,” Boone could be heard saying on the YES Network broadcast on Thursday. “I feel bad for you, but f—ing get better. That guy [Rays starter Yonny Chirinos] is a good pitcher, but our guys are f—ing savages in that box. Our guys are savages in the f—ing box. Tighten it up right now, OK?
“Tighten this s- -t up,” Boone added, with a clap between each word.
Boone will miss Friday night’s contest against the Rockies, which kicks off the three-game series.
