YOU CAN'T DENY NESTOR CORTES, BUT BOONE DID


The Yankees should have won that game yesterday behind Nestor Cortes. It just made sense. I mean the guy had 12 strikeouts through 5 innings. And then what happened? He was relieved by Chad Green with no score in the game in the bottom of the 6th...and after that? Everything fell apart.  Who do you blame? I know who I blame... and the dude doesn't play anymore... It's Boone.

Pinstripe Alley writes:

"The Orioles finally put the game away in the eighth inning. Jonathan Loáisiga never really had it, loading the bases with one out and bringing up lefty pinch-hitter Rougned Odor while southpaw Lucas Luetge was hot in the bullpen. Aaron Boone made the decision to leave Loáisiga in, Odor singled up the middle, and it was 2-0."

 


The Yankees would eventually lose 5-0. Boone dismissed the fact that Cortes was on fire... pitching an immaculate inning, the 39th in history and even bridging to Green when you cannot stop watching the highlight of  Tim Locastro, the animal in the outfield saving an extra base hit with a diving catch. I'll say it again... the Yankees were supposed to win that game yesterday.

And look, it's April, but games against division teams matter regardless. We gotta be able to beat teams like the Orioles!  We did not... that sucks.

Let's tighten it up!

  1. Boonehead never, never should had been brought back. They wanted Loaisaga to succeed even though like Chapman the couple of nights before did not have it. Odor should not had face him and that is on Boonehead.There isn't a 100% sure thing Leutge gets Odor but the % goes up that he does and then turns around and brings LH in to face a RH.
    Whoever the bench coach is needs to step up and say look I don't think you should do that.To many puppets on this coaching staff.
    We are stuck with Gallo this season who can't hit PERIOD no excuses for him. I am 64 and probably hit higher than him.In fact Yankees retired players could out hit him.
    The problem is not spending money but getting the right people.
    Showalter is managing the Mets but I wanted him as Yankeees GM.The game has passed Cashman by.
