New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chischorum Jr. was kicked out of his victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night, but he managed to get into greater trouble after appearing to violate MLB's social media policy.
Chisholm was kicked out in seven innings after insisting a third strike call from umpire John Bacon on the plate. After arguing on the plate, Chisholm was kicked out of the game for a fifth carrier drain.

It was his first one with the Yankees.

However, the discussion doesn't end there as Chisholm went to social media to further condemn Bacon's appeal.
“The f — isn't approaching,” Chisholm wrote in X's post and later deleted it.
Chisholm reportedly posted a message minutes after his ejection and while the game was still ongoing. This post is a clear violation of Major League Baseball's social media policy and prohibits the use of electronic devices during the game.

Yankees Star Jazz Chisholm Jr. Baseball is called “white sports.”
According to the policy, “electronic devices” cannot be used until they are finished 30 minutes before the game begins. Additionally, the policy prohibits content that “questions or otherwise poses fairness of umpires in major or minor leagues.”
Chisholm's actions on Thursday appeared to violate both of these rules.
After the game, Chisholm told the media he didn't believe what he said before leaving would guarantee he would be kicked out of the game. He added that his comments were made to drive him out after the call.
