Cam Schlittler dominated the Red Sox again, and Aaron Boone made the kind of old-school decision Yankees fans have been begging to see. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash break down Boone pushing Schlittler past 110 pitches, why Boston’s early hook of Peyton Tolle backfired, and how trusting the starter helped set the tone for a convincing Yankees win.
The bigger takeaway may be the Yankees’ postseason identity. Instead of living and dying with Aaron Judge and home runs, this team can lean on a dominant rotation. After Schlittler’s latest performance against Boston, the crew argues Boone has to keep riding his starting pitching if the Yankees are going to make a deep October run.
