Yankees’ Aaron Boone mocks, imitates Laz Diaz in wild ejection after brutal strike calls
After quickly being ejected, Boone got his money’s worth and continuously barked at Diaz, who shouted right back at Boone.He then walked over to the plate and crouched down to draw a line in the lefty batter’s box, seemingly marking the spot Diaz mistakenly called pitches strikes.
After screaming again at Diaz, Boone then got into an umpire’s stance behind the plate and pretended to call a batter out on strikes before pointing in mockery. He promptly struck out on three pitches, but Diaz appeared to make two egregious calls in the at-bat. Two of the pitches Laz Diaz called strikes against DJ Lemahieu appeared to be well outside, according to MLB.com’s GameCast.Aaron Boone pretends to call a batter out on strikes during the Yankees’ loss to the White Sox on Aug. 7.Lemahieu then fouled off the next pitch to fall behind 0-2 in the count, before Diaz struck again.
