Aaron Boone is simply not the person that is capable of leading this highly talented Yankees team to anything other than disappointment and defeat that results in instilling a sense of failure in the club’s highly talented young players. The job seems way over his head right now.
I realized this at the season start when in Toronto, Boone made the famous decision with David Robertson on the mound in the 8th inning and a 1 run lead, to walk Josh Donaldson and pitch to Justin Smoak, who promptly hit a grand slam.
It was wasn’t the decision by Boone that bothered me so much, although I did have problems with it, because he took a gamble and that is okay.
