Yankees' Boone mocks umpire with theatrical display after ejection, reflecting team's mounting frustration

Yankees manager Aaron Boone erupted after a questionable strikeout call, leading to his sixth ejection of the season.
Boone mocked home plate umpire Laz Diaz's strikeout motion and argued balls and strikes, feeling Diaz "egged him on."
Despite opportunities, the Yankees offense struggled, leaving 13 runners on base in a 5-1 loss to the White Sox.
Boone later expressed embarrassment over his dramatics, speaking with an MLB official about the incident.
The Yankees have recently struggled, now 5.5 games behind in the wild card race amidst a 3-6 stretch.
