Moving forward, we at least learned something about Aaron Boone.
We discovered a new red line.
After the Yankees’ ugly, dispiriting, 8-3 loss to the Astros in American League Championship Series Game 4 on Thursday night at Yankee Stadium, a game that featured four pinstriped errors and zero Yankees hits in seven at-bats with runners in scoring position, Boone performed his version of a press-conference eruption.
Which, for him, didn’t mean emulating Dennis Green or Jim Mora or even Terry Collins. It meant acknowledging his players’ ineptitude and volunteering that he held a team meeting after the game, moves that are as out of character for him as monogamy was for Hugh Hefner.
