Ashley also raised concerns about how meetings could develop a strategy as they entered the box and questioned the judge’s consistency. “How to know what the zone is like a hitter… .. Zero texture at all,” she wrote.

In addition to the strike zone, there was another referee decision that made Yanke’s annoying.
Astros star Jose Altuve hit a soft lining towards the third base, which Yankee’s third Baseman Ryan McMahon seemed to originally field. But McMahon fell the ball during the transfer. The third base judge gave up that McMahon could not secure the ball and ultimately not declared any catch.
In the second game in the series on Wednesday, Yankees -Manager Aaron Boone and Emergency Aid Devin Williams grew annoying after the referee controlled seats when balls believed landed within the strike zone.

Williams was eventually thrown out shortly after he shouted at the referee. Boone was also thrown out and emphatically expressed his dissatisfaction with the home plate.
Jazz Chisholm also expressed frustration over the judge after he was called out on strikes.
