Aaron Boone’s bullpen management has occasionally come under criticism during his short time at the helm of the Yankees. In some respects, that’s to be expected, since every team’s fans will get annoyed with the manager’s bullpen decisions at some point.
On the other hand, he has made some mistakes. While those can partially be blamed on his inexperience as a manager, they still happened all the same.
On Saturday as the game was tied in the late innings and into extras, I was manning the Pinstripe Alley Twitter account. Chad Green threw an easy 1-2-3 inning in the seventh, but was replaced by Dellin Betances for the eighth.
