Michael Kay roasts Aaron Boone during Yankees latest loss to Mets (Video)
By Mark Powell
New York Yankees announcer Michael Kay took some surprising shots at manager Aaron Boone during the team’s latest loss to the crosstown Mets.
Boone’s lineup decisions in an eventually handy defeat to the Mets were discussed throughout, specifically sitting Giancarlo Stanton and Luke Voit. Stanton, in particular, has enjoyed plenty of success against the Mets during past Subway Series, while Voit is a power-hitting first baseman who should play well at Citi Field.
Of course, sitting Voit in favor of the red hot Anthony Rizzo does make some sense. Keeping Stanton on the bench for no good reason is mind-boggling to say the least, especially as the Yankees struggle to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Kay pointed out Boone’s lack of urgency in the top of the seventh inning.
Yankees need more out of Aaron Boone down the stretch
Boone could be up against the wall down the stretch, especially if the Yankees fail to make the postseason. Four straight home losses at the hands of Toronto, who were directly behind the Yankees in the Wild Card standings, were enough to put both New York’s and Boone’s future in jeopardy.
Several times this season, the Yankees have needed a wake-up call. Boone has failed to give them that, despite the fact that, as skipper, that’s his responsibility.
