Much has been said and written about New York’s loss to Boston in the Division Series. The micro-analysis of everything including Aaron Judge’s trolling the Red Sox with Sinatra, the underwhelming starting pitching, and Aaron Boone’s decision making is in full swing.
I have a feeling that the same people criticizing Judge now would probably be praising his action as a stroke of genius if the Yankees had won the series. Likewise, Boone’s decisions that worked out well — such as the move to start Severino and go right to Betances for two frames in the Wild Card Game — would continue to be a focal point of commentary had New York survived Boston and advanced to play in the LCS.
