Boone Benches the Brains: Yankees Lose!
Update: 2025-10-01
Description
Sal and BT furiously dissected Aaron Boone's managerial decisions in the Yankees' Wild Card game loss, calling it an "unmitigated disaster." The primary critique centered on the premature pull of ace Max Fried, who was clearly still effective, in favor of a struggling Luke Weaver, a move they believe was based on predetermined, data-driven "soft landing" planning rather than a feel for the game. Both hosts agreed that Boone's decision-making—which included a poorly constructed lineup and questionable double-switch—was symptomatic of a larger organizational issue where adherence to analytics trumps on-field situational awareness, ultimately costing the Yankees a critical postseason victory.
