THE New York Yankees have had a disappointing season – and it wasn’t any better in their game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
In yet another defeat in an already lost season, the Yankees were told off in front of their home crowd – but not by the Blue Jays.
During the top of the third inning, with Toronto up at bat, Yankees manager Aaron Boone had a slight altercation with the home plate umpire, Bill Miller.
Miller wasn’t having any of Boone’s nonsense, though, and shouted back at the manager, who was eyeing the ump down from the dugout.
The veteran, who began umping in the MLB in 1997, took off his mask and screamed at the former All-Star turned manager: “You say something?
“I hope not.”
The commentators picked up on the showdown, too.
The Yankees announcers said: “Oh, Bill Miller hopes somebody didn’t say something.”
The two commentators shared a laugh as the camera panned to an unfazed Boone on the bench, who shook his head and snarled.
The two announcers added while chuckling: “Look at that look!”
No matter, the game continued with zero ejections, as the Yankees fell at home to Toronto 7-1.
The Bronx Bombers are currently 76-75 on the season.
They have only 11 games left in the regular season.
They’re eight games back from the Texas Rangers for a wild card spot in the standings.
Although it’s unlikely, the Yankees have not been eliminated from playoff contention just yet.
They’ll play two more games against the Blue Jays before hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks at Yankee Stadium.
