New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. managed to turn a basic fielding error into an embarrassing display of deflection during Tuesday night's matchup against the Baltimore Orioles.
After kicking away an easy grounder, he instantly launched into a rant against the second-base umpire, looking for a scapegoat the second things went wrong.
The mistake came in a scoreless second inning at Camden Yards with runners on first and second. Carlos Rodon executed his pitch perfectly, coaxing Christian Franklin into what should have been an inning-ending double-play ball hit straight to Chisholm at second base.

Instead, Chisholm clanked the ball off his glove, loaded the bases, then somehow decided the umpire was the problem.
Before the ball even stopped rolling, Chisholm was already pointing at second-base umpire Ryan Additon. The replay quickly killed the excuse, showing Additon standing exactly where he belonged while Chisholm simply butchered the grounder.
Fortunately for Chisholm, Rodon bailed him out.
With the bases loaded and one out, Rodon struck out Carlos Narvaez and Jackson Holliday back-to-back to strand the runners, allowing the Yankees to eventually walk away with a 3-1 win.

The childish reaction comes during a miserable 2026 season for Chisholm, who dragged a pathetic .216 average into Tuesday after getting benched over the weekend.
Jazz even offered his own brutal assessment earlier this year, stating, "It sucked. I've sucked all season. The numbers speak for themselves."
Chisholm got lucky his pitcher cleaned up the mess before it showed up on the scoreboard.
