Manager Aaron Boone held a team meeting Friday night, to try to snap the Yankees out of their malaise.
The Yankees haven’t been this bad this late in over a quarter-century.“I talked with the team last night,” Boone said. “But try and keep consistent in what we do and how we prepare, and look forward to [Saturday] being the day you start turning things around. That’s how you got to kind of look at it.”It’s the first time they’ve been two games under .500 this late in a season since Aug. 31, 1995.
“And different guys are feeling it in different ways. Come in with that edge, that little chip on your shoulder, ready to prepare and work. But when it comes time to play, go out there and have fun playing the game.”Boone’s talk with the team was sagely given the night before Cy Young candidate Gerrit Cole took the mound as a slump-buster.
Boone was asked if he – behind closed doors, away from TV cameras – wanted to yell at them to snap out of it.
