Abreu came into the game with two men on base, which is essentially like saying, let them score. We've seen that Abreu MUST have a clean inning to be successful. His inherited base runners scoring is something like 13 out of 17, which is likely vying for worst in MLB. In that regard, Renfield is correct that Boone is not paying attention to the metrics on how to best utilize Abreu. There were two throwing errors on Judge and Bader, which allowed base runners to take an extra base, but scoring was allowed by Abreu. Having throwing errors by Bader and Judge in the same inning is such an unusual occurrence. With Bader’s throw hitting the mound, that call was a bit questionable, but a young inger woukd have hit the catcher’s mitt on the fly, eliminating the mound from the equation… The error on Judge was a joke, it should have been handled by Higgy. |

In retrospect, I was unable to remember what they charged him with an error for. So I assumed it wasn’t too much he had done wrong… |

I think what's lost here on the people that are screaming about Boone, is that Cordero/Abreu did come into the game with the bases empty and the Yankees still leading 5-4 and then promptly gave up 5 runs. Another problem is Nestor, it he can't throw more than 80 pitches in an outing, he will eventually need to be replaced in the rotation. Abreu came into the game with two men on base, which is essentially like saying, let them score. We've seen that Abreu MUST have a clean inning to be successful. His inherited base runners scoring is something like 13 out of 17, which is likely vying for worst in MLB. In that regard, Renfield is correct that Boone is not paying attention to the metrics on how to best utilize Abreu. There were two throwing errors on Judge and Bader, which allowed base runners to take an extra base, but scoring was allowed by Abreu. Yeah, I didn't word that very clear. What I meant is that Nestor left the game with the bases empty and the bullpen gave up 5 runs after. The Yankees still could have won if Cordero and Abreu did their job. Also is, Abreu worth all this special handling? If he can't come into a game with runners on, then replace him with another player. |

He's missing a certain mentality, despite the physical gifts. |
