Jazz Chisholm Jr. dropped a verbal bomb, straight up saying he wasn’t even going to remember who Boston Red Sox broadcaster Will Flemming was after their drama. Yeah, you heard that right. The Yankees star went full savage after Flemming slammed him as a “bush league player” who plays the game “the wrong way.” Chisholm’s response? “I didn’t even know who that was until this morning,” and even better, “I’m still not going to remember who he is after today.” Talk about a mic drop moment that left Boston radio reeling.
The “Unwritten Rules” That Made Boston Lose It
So, what set Flemming off like a firecracker? Chisholm stole two bases in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Yankees were already up 7-1, a pretty comfortable lead, right? Well, Flemming on the radio apparently thought that was a cardinal sin. He even went as far as to suggest that Red Sox left-handed reliever Jovani Moran should “drill” one of Chisholm’s teammates for the move. Seriously? That’s not just “old school,” that’s downright dangerous. Chisholm wasn’t having any of it, firing back that “They’re called unwritten rules because you’re not really breaking any rules.” He even pointed out that Boston themselves had poured on runs last season. For Chisholm, Flemming’s outburst just showed “how unprofessional he is.” You can’t argue with that logic; it’s a game, not a brawl, and Chisholm was just doing his job.
Boone Backs His Star, Boston Says “Oops”
Yankees manager Aaron Boone fully backed his player, giving Chisholm the “green light” to swipe those bags. Boone said Chisholm “did the right thing,” which is exactly what you want to hear from your skipper. Boone, an admitted “old-school baseball guy,” made it clear he respects some of the unwritten rules but ultimately has to do what’s best for his team. This isn’t little league; you don’t stop trying to win just because you’re ahead. The situation got so heated that Flemming actually apologized on social media, admitting he “crossed the line.” Good, because demanding a pitcher intentionally hit a player is way over any line, written or unwritten. The Yankees weren’t just showing up, they were showing out, winning that game 16-1 and wrapping up a 3-1 series victory over their AL East rival. It sure makes you wonder about some of the wild takes you hear out there, doesn’t it?
