Aaron Boone's dugout meltdown after Jazz Chisholm mistake felt like Yankees theater

Now, all of a sudden, we're going to do this?

After staging an absolute mess in their series opener against the Marlins on Friday, which included a blowup of epic proportions on the part of all three of the Yankees' new relievers and an error in the bottom of the ninth that cost them the game, the Yanks went back out onto the field at LoanDepot on Saturday and were quick to embarrass themselves again.

The Marlins were already up by one after former Yankee Agustin Ramirez belted a solo homer off of Cam Schlitter (Ramirez also hit the game-winning RBI on Friday). Jazz Chisholm walked in the top of the second, Ben Rice popped out, and then Paul Goldschmidt popped up on the infield.

Chisholm had taken a huge lead off of first and could be seen watching the ball land into the glove of shifted second baseman Xavier Edwards. Edwards was clearly more awake than Chisholm, because he fired the ball to first base, where Chisholm was diving back to. Too late — it was a double play for Miami because Chisholm couldn't get back in time.

After the inning, Aaron Boone was caught on camera giving first base coach Travis Chapman a stern talking to in the dugout. Michael Kay intoned, "Always have to wonder, when do you blame the players, and when do you blame the coaches? Shouldn't a player know not to do that?"

As it turns out, Boone was probably blaming both. Chisholm came back into the dugout as the inning turned over and Boone met him at the tunnel before gesturing down. Chisholm sauntered down behind his skipper, presumably to get yelled at away from cameras.

Despite the incident and aftermath, Chisholm remained in the game and was back at second base after the commercial break. No doubt Boone will be asked about this after the game, but fans are absolutely just going to hear more of the same. He's going to say something along the lines of "stuff like that just can't happen," but then the stuff is also just going to keep happening. This has been a theme for the Yankees for years now, and there's never anything out in the open to suggest Boone or the coaching staff are handling it. Now Boone is going to yell at the first base coach for something Chisholm should've fully been aware of? We're swinging that far to the other side?

The Yankees are just begging for their four-game trail behind the Blue Jays to increase if they're snoozing on routine plays and all their manager will do is slap them on the wrist. Boone seemed like he was trying to appease Yankees fans here, and we're not sure it worked.
