The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays locked into a hard-fought battle Thursday night at the Yankees' spring home stadium, which has since been papered over by yellow sunbursts. One Yankee, unfortunately, got a closer look at the scenery than the rest of the lineup. Jazz Chisholm Jr., with one on and one out in the top of the seventh inning, took umbrage with a bottom-of-the-zone strike three call and made his feelings known.

He did ... not stop making his feelings known when he left the field.

Unsurprisingly, the home plate umpire didn't take kindly to Chisholm's reaction, and sent him packing. If anyone had anyone other than Aaron Boone receiving the Yankees' first ejection of the season, congratulations. Collect your winnings on "the field".

Meanwhile, Chisholm wasted absolutely no time popping to the clubhouse and firing off an NSFW reaction to his own ejection on Twitter. Not ... sure this will go over well with the authorities.

There's certainly a chance this results in further discipline coming Chisholm's way, which might leave the Yankees shorthanded for a bit. (UPDATE: Yes, of course Chisholm later deleted the tweet.)

In fairness, though ... being outspoken is Chisholm's entire thing, in good times and bad. If you can't ride with him at his lowest lows, then don't be there for his highest highs, like when he's biting the Yankees' hitting coach on the arm ferociously.

This is the Yankees' first of four games in Tampa's temporary replacement for The Trop, and it felt strange long before Chisholm found himself scorned. Starter Will Warren lasted only 1 2/3 innings before being replaced by Ryan Yarbrough. Boone gifted opposing manager Kevin Cash the bottle of tequila he forgot to leave him at the end of spring training (no hard feelings). Giancarlo Stanton left Junior Caminero a bat, and Caminero homered as a thank you. It's going to be a highly odd season, especially when the Yankees visit Sacramento or their March home.

Hopefully, Chisholm gets to cruise down Dale Mabry in peace postgame, unencumbered by thoughts of the umpire he torched. Fresh start tomorrow. Maybe.
