“Imma smack the f**k outta him”: Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr. angrily calls out Royals' Maikel Garcia for hard tag

On June 10, 2025, New York Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. got upset after a game against the Kansas City Royals. He didn’t like a tag by Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia and said strong words about it. This compelled the fans to talk about Chisholm’s big personality and how he plays the game. He said during the matchup, “Imma tell you one more time… if he tags me like that one more time, imma smack the f**k outta him,” which blasted a controversy during the game.In the game, Maikel Garcia tagged Chisholm at third base, and it was too hard. After the game Chisholm said if Garcia does it again, he'll react. The tag happened when Garcia was trying to catch a throw, but his glove hit Chisholm’s head instead of the ball. It didn't look like he meant to hurt him, but Chisholm was still mad. He also remembers a play last year when Garcia slid hard into a teammate, which makes him dislike him even more. This bad blood makes their matchups exciting for fans. Chisholm’s reaction shows he plays with a lot of heart but some think he’s too emotional. Now people are talking if this is part of baseball or if Chisholm went too far.Also Read: Yankees give big update on Giancarlo Stanton after injury kept him out all seasonThe Yankees haven’t said anything about Chisholm’s words, but he’s a big part of their team.
