When asked prior to the Yankees 4-0 victory over the Astros on Monday, about speculation that Astros pitchers are doctoring baseballs to increase its spin rate and thereby create an advantage over hitters, Yanks manager Aaron Boone failed to weigh in. Per NJ.com:
“I don’t know,” Boone said. “I don’t get into Twitter wars anymore. I don’t read that much into it. Guys use stuff to try and help with grip, but I don’t think anything in my view fishy is going on.”
