The latest attempt by Boone to get something out of the Yankees’ cleanup spot produced three strikeouts and a sac bunt. Yankee cleanup hitters in the playoffs are 2-for-30 with one extra-base hit and 15 strikeouts. They have as many sac bunts as runs scored. I applaud Aaron Boone’s commitment to L/R balance, especially against a team with the Guardians’ deep bullpen. It’s time to give up, though, bat Giancarlo Stanton behind Aaron Judge, and live with the platoon disadvantage.
