Jazz Chisholm facing dumbest cheating allegations possible after Yankees-Rangers clip

BREAKING: People who aren't fans of the New York Yankees hate the New York Yankees. They're looking for any opening. Any nugget. Any awkward screengrab. They'll take what they can get, and they'll run with it. That chaotic shared urge left us with one of the truly dumbest cheating allegations of all time this week, and forced Jazz Chisholm Jr. himself to answer for it.

That said ... I mean ... if the Houston Astros got away with "loudly banging on a trash can" for years, then maybe "visible AirPod on the field" isn't quite so ridiculous?

When Elmer Rodriguez painted the bottom of the zone and Brandon Nimmo race-walked toward second base for the first two outs of the rookie starter's MLB debut, fans instead took note of something odd and white tucked in Chisholm's ear canal.

Was it ... could it be ... was he ... cheating?! Never mind "how". People hadn't figured out that part yet. The bottom line was it was obvious Chisholm had an ear piece in. Probably cheating by being fed ... defensive positioning? Or grooving to Luther Vandross or something from the second base bag. And we simply can't have that.

Even Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s magical cheating AirPod couldn't get the New York Yankees a win

So ... what exactly happened here?

Jomboy had a theory that didn't involve any lipreading whatsoever - it sure looked like an AirPod, so it probably was one? Maybe an alternate pathway towards hearing the PitchCom device, given that Chisholm's hat is always oddly askew?

Things only got more confusing when Chisholm was eventually forced to clear things up from his apartment later on via Instagram story. He posted a photo featuring cotton stuffed in his ear with the caption, "All y'all just ain't the smartest."

You're not going to believe this, but that didn't satisfy the haters. They pivoted to analyzing the shape of your typical cotton blob and comparing and contrasting with a standard AirPod. A million monkeys on a million typewriters would create Shakespeare before they ever created all the ways that Yankee haters choose to waste their time on the internet.

Stay tuned for Friday night's game, though, when Jazz takes the field with gigantic Bose over-ear headphones, then tries to claim they're just big, dark cotton balls with speakers embedded.
