2 pressure points struck Tropicana Field on Saturday night. One likely will be forgotten. One most likely wont.
The chirping from the Yankees dugout might be heard on tv by virtue of the empty stands, and that anger originated from a trio of pitches thrown tight and high to Yankees gamers, two to DJ LeMahieu (in separate at-bats) and one to Gio Urshela. The last one, by Rays right-hander Andrew Kittredge to LeMahieu, immediately preceded the turbulence, as LeMahieu ended the top of the 5th with a comebacker for a groundout.
An uncommonly taciturn Boone explained he got the fifth-inning hook after objecting the heave-ho of Thames, which he felt was unjustified.
It was Kittredge, on Sept. 27, 2018, at The Trop, who threw behind the head of Romine. He has actually since signed up with the Tigers. The now retired CC Sabathia reacted by drilling Tampa Bay catcher Jesus Sucre and, upon getting ejected, indicated Kittredge in the Rays dugout and declared, “Thats for you, [curse]”.
The Yankees manager stated of Carapazza, “He misinterpreted what Marcus said.”
” Weve got a lot of huge players up there. We understand theyre going to toss in, however to miss that far up and in that lot of times, youre going to get a little barking from the dugout. Its simply the lineup we have. Weve got a great deal of big power hitters that can drive the baseball, so a great deal of teams are truly going to attempt to back us off the plate. Its something we understand. Its something theyve done for years now. They desire to be available in and back us off so they can open up the external side of the plate. Its simply something weve got to handle, but I understand our pitchers are going to safeguard us.”
Asked what Thames stated to be tossed out, Boone replied, “Nothing. Nothing.” The Yankees supervisor stated of Carapazza, “He misinterpreted what Marcus stated.”
One likely will be forgotten. One likely wont.
These groups typically do not like each other, though. Last year, benches cleared during a video game at Yankee Stadium when Sabathia and Avisail Garcia jawed at each other.
When home-plate umpire Vic Carapazza ejected Yankees manager Aaron Boone and hitting coach Marcus Thames from Game 2 of the seven-inning doubleheader, it drew additional attention to the tension surrounding the ultimate 5-3 Yankees loss to the Rays, one triggered by the Rays repeatedly toss high and tight to Yankees batters to continue the ill will in between these two AL East rivals.

We know theyre going to throw in, but to miss out on that far up and in that numerous times, youre going to get a little barking from the dugout.
Sundays series ending provides one last opportunity, in the meantime, for anger, misinterpretations, knockdowns and whatever else these two competitors can produce, the absence of fans not resulting in an absence of strength.

You do not usually forget stuff like that. To continue to throw up and in, up and in, thats hard.
Judge confirmed Kittredge was the primary target of the Yankees bitterness, stating, “Anytime someone throws at a persons head, you dont forget that.”.
