It was one of the most unremarkably remarkable seasons in Yankees history this year in the Bronx as the team won 100 games and broke all sorts of home run records and yet still found themselves in the sudden death American League Wildcard Game.
Jason Smith thinks Yankees manager Aaron Boone might have his feet to the fire tonight after a rollercoaster season that saw the Yankees at one point play some of the best baseball of all time during one 50-game stretch, only to finish out the rest of the season nearly .500, with a group of players who seemed completely rudderless and aloof during the second half without Aaron Judge.
Listen to Smith explain why Boone’s decision to start Luis Severino over J.A. Happ could define his tenure as a Yankee, and could really bring to light his low energy managing mentality that his detractors have taken notice of.
