New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone ejected after apparent case of mistaken identity and spat with umpire
cnn.com/2024/04/23/sport/aaron-boone-ejection-hunter-wendelstedt-mlb-spt-intl/
Quick Glance: Yankees' Aaron Boone Ejected for Fan-Heckling of MLB Umpire in Unusual Incident: 'I Don't Care Who Said It'
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected early in the game against the A's at Yankee Stadium after a fan yelled something. This marked his 35th career ejection, with a rather unusual reason this time.
- Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt warned Boone of an ejection after just five pitches if another word was said. A fan behind the dugout shouted something, leading Wendelstedt to toss Boone out of the game.
- Boone's reactions, including pointing to the crowd, were captured on video. In one clip, Boone can be heard denying he said anything. Despite Wendelstedt's error in judgment, the ejection stood, making for a highly entertaining situation.
- Although Wendelstedt misinterpreted the situation and Boone was innocent, the ejection remained. Nevertheless, the whole incident was incredibly entertaining, and Boone's 35 ejections in a short span of time is quite an impressive feat.
“It stings. Remember this feeling as we go back to LA. We need to give them this feeling in Game 3.”

LeBron James rants at NBA's replay center for calls, Lakers lose on buzzer-beater, trail Denver 2-0
nbcnews.com/sports/lebron-james-rants-nbas-replay-center-calls-lakers-lose-buzzer-beater-rcna148911
Quick Glance: Jamal Murray Leads Denver Nuggets to Impressive Victory over LA Lakers
- Jamal Murray achieved an impressive 15-foot buzzer-beater over Anthony Davis to complete a sensational 20-point comeback and give the Denver Nuggets a 101-99 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. This unexpected triumph grants the defending champions a 2-0 lead in the first round, as they now prepare for the upcoming games in the Lakers' arena.
- Following the game-winning shot, Jamal Murray fell into the Nuggets' bench and was embraced by his teammates, igniting the atmosphere in the Ball Arena. Murray faced a challenging start in the game, hitting only three of his first 16 shots before going 6-for-8 in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 of his total 20 points, including the decisive basket.
- While Murray encountered difficulties, the Nuggets stayed competitive thanks to another outstanding performance by Nikola Jokić, who recorded 27 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, and two steals. Michael Porter Jr. also played a crucial role in the Nuggets' victory with 22 points, including successful shooting from beyond the arc.
- The Lakers expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating, particularly regarding a play in the third quarter where a foul against Porter Jr. on D'Angelo Russell was overturned after a review by the Nuggets. It is evident that the Lakers' prospects are increasingly dim after losing 10 consecutive games against the Nuggets. A monumental shift in fate will be required for Los Angeles to progress to the next round.

Quick Glance: Mets and Giants: Belief or Skepticism? Strider's Insights on Arm Injuries
- Despite underperforming, the Giants show potential for a turnaround with a strong rotation and standout players like Bailey. However, their playoff spot is not guaranteed.
- The Mets staged an impressive recovery after a rocky start, but doubts linger about the sustainability of their success. New surprise players and managerial skills suggest a better season ahead, yet concerns exist regarding rotation and defense.
- Spencer Strider's injury turned out to be less severe than feared, allowing for a quicker return. Strider emphasized the complexity of arm injuries in pitchers, shedding light on the challenges faced during recovery.
- Reflecting on last week's team performances reveals positive trends for some like the Guardians, Braves, and Athletics, while others such as the Dodgers and Tigers face challenges. The continuation of these trends remains uncertain.
