The more I think about it I think Boone managed this like it was just any game in July. From the lineup construction to how he managed his pitchers.

I think Boone screwed up when he brought in Weaver. Although he has been good lately, he hasn’t been good most of the season. If the Yanks lose to Boston, the Yanks should finally fire Boone.
This is a great team and I think they’ll take the next two, but who knows.That’s baseball Susan.

But they HAVE convinced me that Jazz should’ve been in the lineup.

Really interesting discussion about the Fried decision on the YES postgame right now. Michael Kay almost swayed me against Boone, but I still think it was the right move. Weaver needs to be able to get the eight and nine hitters out.

One possible narrative for tonight, Cora stuck with his ace and Boone didn’t.
I don’t know that Fried looked particularly gassed after that last AB. Obviously we can’t run it back and compare vs anything but it’s hard not to notice the disparity between his exit and Weaver coming in and not helping matters.

But also, Bednar needs to shut them down. If it is 2-1, we pinch run for Goldy and we possibly score on fly ball out to right. Fallacy of pre-determined outcome not withstanding.

Weaver was obviously not good tonight. Agree.

I don’t really have a problem with how Boone managed this one. There’s just no excuse for Weaver walking Rafaela there in the seventh. Weaver was the problem. And Crochet, obviously.

Nice to be back on the Banter though.

I feel like we have a chance against their game 2 and game 3 starters. But obviously no room for error now.

1st and 9th they had their chances. Nothing in between though.

Somehow I feel a lot better about this loss than I thought I would twenty minutes ago. Can’t believe they didn’t get a run in that ninth inning, though.

Chapman is nasty.
Can’t load the bases with no out and then have no bat to ball strategy for three straight batters. I guess that insurance run was the killer.
A PR for Goldy would’ve helped a tiny bit.

Ugh, loss. And teams that win game 1 win the series 90% of the time
