When he took the job, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone knew it wouldn’t come without criticism. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t bother him, though.
After the Los Angeles Dodgers triumphed over the Yankees in a five-game World Series, Los Angeles pitcher Joe Kelly took aim at the Yankees during an appearance on the Baseball Isn’t Boring podcast. Kelly criticized various aspects, from the Yankees’ relatively smooth path to the postseason to their lack of fundamental play in the World Series.
The Dodgers capitalized on six unearned runs across the five games, while the Yankees didn’t score any.
