Try it freeMIAMI — The Yankees have a new candidate for the most unforgivable baserunning play of the season.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. was doubled off at first base on a high popout to second base in the top of the second inning of the Yankees’ 2-0 loss to the Marlins on Saturday, inexplicably dancing off the base before trying to dive back too late.
Chisholm remained out on the field after the blunder because it was the third out of the inning, but then, when he returned to the dugout after the bottom of the second, manager Aaron Boone pulled him underneath for what looked like a conversation.
But it did not result in Boone pulling Chisholm from the game — he has rarely done so during his tenure as manager — as the second baseman was back on the field for the bottom of the third.
Jazz Chisholm was caught sleeping on the bases.
Boone was also seen expressing his frustrations with first base coach Travis Chapman in the dugout, likely for not making an over-concerted effort to get Chisholm back to the bag.
After the game, Boone said Chisholm “can’t get caught there,” but Chisholm insisted he would not do it differently next time.
“I was just trying to be aggressive, already playing with both the middle infielders out there,” said Chisholm, the former Marlin. “I saw something that I thought they were going to do. [Edwards] deked it like he was going to [drop it purposely], he didn’t do it. Still trying to be aggressive because I played here before, I know how the field plays. Sometimes you get aggressive and you get caught up and you make an out.”
Jazz Chisholm was doubled off first base on a popout to second.
Chisholm remained in the game.
Chisholm’s mental gaffe was just the latest in a line of many by the Yankees this season. The last one was Austin Wells getting tagged out in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday after thinking there were three outs.
