It is possible that Aaron Boone’s approval rate among the fans was never higher than when it was ejected during the fifth round on Saturday afternoon.
This is what questionable calls against his captain will do for him.
Boone obtained an exciting ovation of the closed window crowds of 46,085 after being launched, then obtained his money with the Ramon marble referee of Jesus in the 6-1 victory of the Yankees against the Orioles.
“I did not even boiled,” said Boone after his seventh ejection of the season, breaking a draw with the manager of the cardinals, Oli Marmol for the head of the League. “No question that I should have been expelled. But an emotional response [by De Jesus]. There were a few calls early, but again by him, a very fast hook. Fortunately, that had nothing impact, and we were able to help each other. »»
The bases were loaded with a withdrawal, the Yankees leading 3-0, when the judge came on the plate and had two interior throws called strikes to put it in a hole of 1-2.
The Yankees canoe was not satisfied, and of Jesus – who ejected José Caballero as a short leash earlier this month in Houston – obviously heard enough to give Boone the hook.
The judge finally torn a single two points in the middle to break the game.
“I didn’t really hear [Boone] To say a lot, so I was surprised that it was launched there, “said the judge.” But certainly a large place where you can put the game out of reach. I didn’t agree with calls, but you have to stay focused. It takes only one step. This is why you get three strikes. Always grateful when Booney has her back. »»
Giancarlo Stanton’s circuit stroke during the second round dispatched it Carl Yastrzemski for unique possession of 40th place on the list of circuits of all time with 453.
The next ones are then José Canseco and Adam Dunn at 462.
JC Esmarra joined the Yankees on the taxi team on Saturday, keeping open the possibility that the Yankees carry it on their post-season list.
Having a third recipient would give Boone greater flexibility to be able to pinch or pinch the wells for Austin Wells and / or Ben Rice late in the games when the two are in the starting program (rice at the first base).
“I don’t know yet,” said Boone. “We were so consumed with it. Once we have succeeded [Sunday]We will start to have all these conversations seriously. JC was part of our team this year and certainly important to have it here. »»
