Last Sunday, Jazz Chisholm Jr. couldn't handle managing his defense on the field and answering the broadcaster's questions as he was mic'd up. Playing third base against the Boston Red Sox, in the third inning, Chisholm hustled to make the play at first on Ceddanne Rafaela's chopping ground ball toward third base.
However, he erred on the throw, going way above third base, allowing the Red Sox star to reach second base. Many have blamed ESPN's in-game interviews for being a distraction.
On Friday, Yankees coach Aaron Boone shared his feelings known on the same during an appearance on Jomboy Media.
"It's 2025 — I understand that's part of it," Boone said. "Some like it. I don't think I would have wanted to be doing that, and I'm sure a lot of our guys wouldn't want to either.

"But over the years now, we've seen a lot of guys do some really amazing things while mic'd up. I just think it's a product of the times a little bit. Personally, I don't necessarily love it."
As per The Post in 2023, players get paid as much as $10,000 for in-game interviews. Due to Chisholm's fun loving personality, he's one of the best choices for broadcasters to talk with.
Jazz Chisholm reacts after error
As soon as his spin throw went above the first base, Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm elicited a short reaction:
“Damn it!,” Chisholm said as his throw missed the mark.
“Spin throw … Difficult play,” the broadcaster told Chisholm.
“Yeah, it’s alright,” the third baseman replied.
The play didn't end up hurting the Yankees, though, as they stranded Cedanne Rafaela after retiring the next two hitters.
That night, at the plate, Jazz Chisholm went 0-for-3 with a walk and a sac fly. He was returning from a strained oblique in that game.
“Just go at 70 percent,’’ Chisholm said about his new approach. “Play at 70 percent: offense (and) defense. Don’t overswing. Don’t swing, and miss as much.”
The Yankees lost the game 11-7.
