After a day of external second-guessing, there was one decision Aaron Boone himself grappled with.
LOS ANGELES — , fresh off a flexor strain that had not allowed him to pitch since Sept. 18, to face the Dodgers’ best hitters. Instead, Boone allowed some reflection on whether he should have stuck with Luke Weaver longer.
Boone reasoned that with one out in that situation, he wanted Cortes because he wanted a better chance at a strikeout with two runners on base, the tying run on second and go-ahead run on first.“Even after the fact, I feel like that was the right move with one out,” said Boone, who was more evasive concerning the Cole decision. The two sides of Juan Soto showed up in Game 1
Boone talked with Cole on the mound before calling for Clay Holmes, who hit one batter, allowed a sac bunt and got Will Smith to pop out before Tommy Kahnle took over in a game that taxed the Yankees’ bullpen. How did he know that Cole, a workhorse, was finished? The Yankees opted against shaking up their lineup.
