Someone alert #YankeesTwitter, because we’re about to have a serious talk about manager Aaron Boone. And no, we aren’t asking that he be fired.
But we will criticize the Yankees manager for lacking basic common sense. Bullpen management has kinda/sorta always been his greatest weakness, but what happened in Monday’s 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians takes the cake. Take a deep breath as we channel Alexander himself and re-live this terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad decision-making.
Domingo German shut down Cleveland all night and kicked off the ninth inning with striking out Myles Straw.
