The Yankees play baseball outside in the Bronx, all the time. Sometimes they play in a dome. But every day they are playing baseball for 162 games during the regular season.
Now the Yanks have had ups and downs all season. But they won 99 games. That's impressive. Many of those games were won with good pitches and hitting that scored runs. Sorry to make this so obvious for all you guys, but Aaron Boone is the ultimate joke and last night's presser after their 3-2 loss was ridiculous.
Sports Illustrated writes:
"Boone lamented the fact that the roof at Minute Maid Park in Houston was open Thursday night during his team’s 3–2 loss, saying that he thought a deep fly ball hit by Aaron Judge would’ve been a home run had the wind not knocked it down.“Who would have thought, I think the roof open kind of killed us,” Boone told reporters, per SNY. “I think it’s a 390[-foot] ball. … I didn’t think he smoked it like a no-doubter, but it felt like his homers to right.”...
Roof open or closed, the Yankees have labored at the plate through the first two ALCS games. New York batters have struck out in 30 of their 70 plate appearances (42.9%) and tallied just nine hits through two games. "
This statement by Boone is cringeworthy. He is literally trying to make an excuse for a ball that didn't go out of the stadium that would have in Yankee Stadium. And what's the point of that? WE WEREN'T IN YANKEE STADIUM. And so... IT'S A CATCH AND OUT!
Boone is doing a disservice to his team. Making excuses is not how these Yankee players operate. And this excuse may take the cake. It just shows Boone's struggles as he has mismanaged and screwed this team over again and again. He is not a leader; he is an excuse maker.
Boone needs to shut up. Over the past few weeks, we have seen him struggle with the media, try and dodge his managerial mistakes, change lineups and fielding game to game based on the media's suggestions and now blames not playing in a covered roof for our latest loss.
Boone, look in the mirror, it's you and your mistakes that are tanking these Yankees.
Let's please leave Boone in Houston and win the next 2 at home in the Bronx WHERE THERE IS NO ROOF. It is time to wake the hell up!
Did you see the interview with Bader,he found out from the reporter he was batting leadoff, how does he not know that from the manager and I said before Judge comes up small again a recipe for a quick exit from the playoffs again.
