Carlos Mendoza simply had enough on Sunday afternoon, and he made it known. With the New York Mets trailing 6-4 in the bottom of the ninth, playing the New York Yankees, the Mets manager lost it completely over a pair of called strikes that had everyone at Citi Field confused.

Home plate umpire John Bacon had rung up Luis Torrens on back-to-back low pitches that, according to MLB’s own tracking, missed the strike zone. The first questionable strike call had Mendoza simply being mad from the dugout and shouting towards Bacon. But when the second pitch, low and outside, was called strike three, that was it.

Mendoza simply exploded out of a dugout like a rocket gone rogue. And before he could even start with the entire charade, Bacon tossed him away. But even that didn’t stop the real show.

Mendoza went right up to the plate and then kicked dirt in a classic baseball manager fashion and kept looking at Bacon. Another umpire had to step in and separate the two before Mendoza finally made his way to the clubhouse. However, it’s crucial to know fans were appreciative of him standing up for the team and the players.

However, after this, the New York Mets couldn’t capitalize on the ejection. Starling Marte grounded out, and Francisco Lindor struck out to end the game. This sealed the game for the Yankees, and it snapped them from a six-game losing streak. But it kept the Mets from completing a holiday weekend sweep. Now, with both teams winning the games apiece in the Subway Series, the rivalry is as heated as possible. Did you check out the way the Mets made fun of Yankee fans? Well, it seems like the Yanks got a sweet revenge with this!

Two more players join Judge as the New York Yankees stack their All-Star roster

Now, after a week that tested their resilience, the New York Yankees finally had something to smile about. The 2025 All-Star Game pitchers and reserves were announced; the Bronx Bombers are sending more firepower to Atlanta. Joining Judge, who is already there as a starter after leading the AL vote getters, there are two more players, and they are Jazz Chisholm and Max Fried.

Now that’s a trio worthy of the big stage. Chisholm Jr., who made his All-Star debut in 2022 as a Miami Marlin, will suit up again but as a Yankee infielder. And honestly, it’s been quite a comeback story for him this season. After coming off the injured list over a month ago, he has been electric. He is managing .245/.341/.841, clubbing 15 homers and driving 38 RBIs. For a team that’s seen offensive droughts, this bat has been refreshing.

Max Fried, on the other hand, is Mr. Reliable on the mound. Sure, the offense is cold, but he is impressive with an 11-2 record with a 2.27 ERA in 19 starts this season. Yankee manager Aaron Boone was coy when he was asked about Fried making it to the All-Star squad. And well, this is well deserved. Judge, Chisholm Jr., and Fried are all headed to represent the Yankees on July 15. It’s a nice silver lining in a season that’s all ups and downs. And who knows, maybe the trio can get some momentum in the Bronx.

Things are finally looking a little better for the Yankees, aren’t they? Let us know.
