Aaron Boone’s strange explanation for Yankees’ defensive meltdown
NY Post
Apparently going through customs strips the Yankees of their defensive capabilities.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone curiously called his team a “very good defensive club” after committing four errors in an 8-4 loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday that made his team look anything but, and attributed his squad’s recent Benny Hill tribute while playing north of the border to being specific to the Rogers Centre.
The Bronx Bombers committed 11 errors in seven games in Toronto this year, including seven in this three-game set.
“I think it’s here and it’s in this building we haven’t played well,” Boone said after falling four games behind Toronto in the AL East race.
“Defense was good down in Atlanta. Again, we’ve had a couple players go through it a little bit, but overall we should be moving forward a good defensive club, we need to be, but it’s this series and the last series here where just too many outs given.”
Boone’s stance on this team’s defense has been a lightning rod lately due to his passionate defense of Anthony Volpe, where his view clashes with fans’ and statistics.
