Bob Boone played 19 years in the major leagues and managed for six more, so he understands the ups and downs of the game.
Talking to his son Sunday night, he could hear the hurt in the Yankees manager after suffering tough losses Saturday and Sunday in Toronto.
“I know Aaron took it hard,” Bob Boone told The Post on Monday after the Rays-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium was snowed out and rescheduled for Tuesday at 4 p.m. “We talked [Sunday night] and I could tell. I said, ‘You are going to lose more of those.’ ”
Boone’s eighth-inning decision — which he said pitcher David Robertson had a say in — to walk the struggling Josh Donaldson intentionally to load the bases for Justin Smoak, who hit a grand slam, was roundly criticized.
