Carlos Rodón’s wife, Ashley, struck a tone similar to what some New York Yankees fans expressed after a three-game series against the Houston Astros concluded Thursday.

The Yankees defeated the Astros on Thursday to take two of three games in the series, but the strike zone sparked controversy. Many fans and observers argued the strike zone was called in an uneven manner.

“The zone is absolutely horrendous the entire series….GESH,” Ashley wrote on X. “GESH.”

She later asked, “WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS CREW.”

Rodón, a three-time MLB All-Star, managed to record his 16th win of the season following Thursday’s 8-4 victory. But his wife was not pleased that he had to battle umpiring controversy along the way. He struck out three batters over six innings.

Ashley also raised concerns about how hitters could develop a strategy when they stepped into the box and questioned the umpire’s consistency. “How are you supposed to know what the zone is as a hitter….. zero consistency at all,” she wrote.

Beyond the strike zone, there was another umpire decision that made the Yankees irate.

Astros star Jose Altuve hit a soft liner toward third base, which Yankees third baseman Ryan McMahon appeared to initially field. But McMahon dropped the ball during the transfer. The third base umpire ruled that McMahon failed to secure the ball and ultimately declared no catch.

In the second game of the series on Wednesday, Yankees manager Aaron Boone and relief pitcher Devin Williams grew irate after the umpire ruled pitches as balls they believed landed within the strike zone.

Williams was eventually ejected shortly after he yelled at the umpire. Boone was also thrown out and emphatically expressed his displeasure with the home plate umpire.

Jazz Chisholm also expressed frustration with the umpire after he was called out on strikes.
