Yankees manager Aaron Boone blamed the team's poor defensive play on stadium conditions after a series of seven errors against the Blue Jays. Ken Rosenthal criticized Boone's demeanor, suggesting it indicated a lack of accountability for players. In an 8-4 loss, notable errors included a wild pitch by Max Fried and a misplay allowing runs to score. Rosenthal labeled the Yankees as an 'industry punchline,' emphasizing their defensive struggles and overall team issues.
"Boone's 'all is well' demeanor in interviews, no matter how much they inflame fans who believe he is gaslighting them, ultimately means little. What matters is whether Boone behind the scenes is holding his players accountable. If he is, it sure isn't showing on the field."
"The Yankees made seven errors during the three game series against the Blue Jays, including four in the series finale on Wednesday, an 8-4 win for Toronto. That's four that were accounted for in the box score, and a few mental errors that went unchecked."
"It started when Max Fried threw a wild pitch, allowing runners to advance to second and third. A couple of pitchers later, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a little roller up the third base line, and when Fried got the ball he threw it past catcher J.C. Escarra to allow Davis Schneider to score from third."
"Rosenthal took it a step further and outright called the Yankees an industry punchline, pointing to not just defensive errors but a lack of overall accountability within the team."
