“I just felt like he tried to go and injure Volpe because he was being a sore loser. He was talking a lot on Instagram and Twitter and stuff. I do the same thing, but I’m not gonna go and try and injure somebody if they’re winning a game, and I didn’t like that so I told him we don’t do that on this side and I’m always gonna stick up for my guys,” Chisholm said after the game, via Yankees reporter Bryan Hoch.
