Aaron Boone puts Braves on blast for Jazz Chisholm Jr. drama during Yankees' comeback

It couldn't be more obvious that Jazz Chisholm Jr. is a target for opposing players, coaches and fans at this point. If you hated the New York Yankees before, then you definitely hate them infinitely more now that they have a shred of personality with Chisholm's presence.

Just this year alone, Chisholm was targeted by Cincinnati Reds catcher (and former Yankee) Jose Trevino. He was lambasted for his inclused in the Home Run Derby (and then rightfully criticized for his all-time bad performance). Some tried to call him out for his comments on playing third base, but Yankees fans knew he was right about that. And even dating back to last year, he was voted the most overrated player in MLB by his peers and was made fun of for saying the Yankees were going to win the World Series.

It continued Saturday night. The Yankees staged an epic comeback in Atlanta to defeat the Braves 12-9 after trailing 5-0 in the fifth. New York's four-run sixth kept their momentum alive, and it was in part made possible by Chisholm picking up on something from relief pitcher Rafael Montero.

Chisholm was seen relaying signs to Anthony Volpe at the plate, which caught the attention of Braves coach Eddie Perez in the dugout, who took it upon himself to start jawing at Chisholm when he reached third base after Volpe hit a sacrifice fly.

When it all went down, the YES broadcast caught all of it on camera, and Michael Kay and Joe Girardi believed Perez and the Braves were threatening to hit Chisholm in the head during his next at-bat.

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm beef with Braves coach Eddie Perez explained

Perez was seen pointing at his head when getting Jazz's attention, and then Jazz was seen getting aggressive with his gestures, shooing the Braves away and telling them to "cry about it." Perez explained that he was telling Chisholm to "think" and "be smart", claiming he had no idea why the Yankees slugger got mad about it.

What does that even mean? Chisholm was thinking! He was being smart! He gave his team the competitive edge and helped them win!

On the other side, it appears Yankees manager Aaron Boone wasn't buying Perez's explanation. "I know they were saying some things that will probably be looked at, and should be,” Boone told reporters after New York secured one of its most impressive victories of the season. Boone also claimed he didn't know "exactly what was said" but that he believes the Braves were talking about hitting Chisholm in the head.

We've seen teams get into it over this type of stuff, but it's legal. The Yankees were seen doing it against the Seattle Mariners right before the All-Star break, and it fueled another one of their most impressive wins of the season. The M's didn't have much to say about it even though Trent Grisham was seen flailing his arms in the air as he relayed the most conspicuous messages possible.

And yet, the Braves, who are 43-54 and essentially dead in the water, are making a fuss over Chisholm's slight hand movement? We guess it makes sense, though, because Chisholm used to be a division rival of Atlanta's during his time with the Miami Marlins. That element surely came into play here. It's doubtful Perez has any positive feelings toward him. If he does, we're not sure where they derive from. If anything, he should probably be indifferent?

Whatever the case, this all should make for a dramatic finale on Sunday. Don't be surprised if the benches clear in this one.
