I agree, it sure didn't look to me like Chisholm was really thinking there. It looked much more like he was spacing out as he's known to do. My guess is the Yankees are just covering for him, but really, if someone is spacing out shouldn't you call them out on it? Maybe don't do it publicly, but how long are they going to accept it?

Chisholm was the only guy on base when men need to be on first and second, at least, to have the IF fly rule to be called.
