The once-promising New York Yankees season is on the brink of ending in complete disaster. After a 6-5 loss to the Cleveland Guardians that saw Aaron Boone’s Bronx Bombers lose a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Yanks are one loss from elimination.

The media asked Boone about his bullpen management after the game. He gave one of the worst possible answers anyone could ever give in a press conference.

Boone said closer Clay Holmes was only available in an emergency

During the 9th inning, the Yankees turned to Clarke Schmidt with the game on the line, as Cleveland had runners on 1st and 3rd down 5-3 with one out. Schmidt is normally a long reliever, but that’s who Boone went with. A few batters later, Schmidt gave up the winning hit.

First off, great win for the Guardians, whose payroll is 1/3 the size of New York’s.

But, the focus goes to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who said that his closer Clay Holmes was only available in an emergency.

Wait, does the winning run at the plate in game three of a tied ALCS not constitute an emergency? Was he waiting for a nuclear war to break out?

Yankees fans are furious

Obviously, Yankees fan are furious.

They better figure it out, because the Guardians have a chance to clinch at home Sunday night. Gerrit Cole will take the mound for New York.
