Why would Aaron Boone be concerned? His job is safe no matter what happens. There is no legitimate urgency to win. I wish they’d consider asking questions that aren’t an insult to the fans who see exactly what’s going on here.
Boone’s 4-year contract extension is up this Fall. If he misses the playoffs in consecutive seasons or gets bounced in the ALDS, I can see Cashman not extending him in favor of bench coach Brad Asmsus.
Boone has won nothing really because he’s a lousy in game manager! Is it true that Analytics Department’s Michael Fishman hands Boone the daily lineup specifying the sequential order of the batters? So, Fishman had Torres and JD Davis batting cleanup and Jones being the DH?
