The Yankees were swept by the Red Sox this weekend and manager Aaron Boone pulled no punches when blaming the offense.

Volpe’s attempted steal came during the first at-bat of the 10th inning as the Yankees tried to get the ghostrunner to third base. Boone defended his decision to send Volpe, making it clear it was the team’s decision to try and steal a base.

The second series against the Boston Red Sox turned into another humiliating defeat for Aaron Boone, who didn’t hesitate to send a strong message about the state of the New York Yankees.
