New York Knicks guard Josh Hart publicly criticized Boston Red Sox radio announcer Will Flemming for comments made during Sunday’s Yankees victory. Flemming, calling the 16-1 game on WEEI, labeled Yankees outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. a bush league player after Chisholm stole two bases while his team held a six-run lead. The broadcaster further suggested that pitcher Jovani Morán should intentionally hit batter Austin Wells in retaliation for the base running. Hart, a known Yankees supporter, took to social media on Monday to call for Flemming's removal. Cam Schlittler later posted a response on social media appearing to support Hart’s position. No official discipline or response from the Red Sox organization has been announced following the remarks.
