It was the 14th time in the past 17 games that the Yankees lost 5-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday. After his 4-0 loss to Toronto on Friday night, he came less than a day after Boone insisted the Yankees should be “fired” and needed to get out of the rut. Announced.

On Saturday, Boone was just as excited about another loss.
Boone slammed his hand on the table during the post-match press conference. “And the great thing is that it’s right in front of us. It’s here. And we can fix it…. If you don’t score, it’s hard to win. And I think these will answer the same question of

After starting the 2022 MLB season with a 61-23 record, New York is now 73-48, second in the AL. They’ve lost their last six series, which is somewhat shocking given that from May 23rd he didn’t lose a series until July 10th.
