Aaron Boone’s offense again didn’t do nearly enough in a 6-2 loss for the Yankees on Tuesday night, but Boone, always searching for the silver lining, told reporters that he liked what he saw from his hitters, even if the results weren’t there.
“We weren’t able to get and extra-base hit and they kept us in the yard, but I felt like the at-bat quality and the approach was there,” Boone said.
“We’re still not breaking through with that big one. That gapper that scores a couple or hitting one in the seats. We’ve had a hard time hitting the ball out of the ballpark too. But I feel like if you back off and strip the emotion, watching tonight, I felt like it was a different offensive game and a different offensive quality. In some ways, you try to take a little gain in that, but the reality is, we’re in a stretch where we haven’t scored enough runs, and that’s gotta change.”
The Yankees, now averaging less than three runs per game over their last 13, didn’t produce a single extra-base hit on Tuesday night, and while Boone liked the “at-bat quality” much more than what he has seen in recent games, he acknowledged that the results need to match that quality.
“We've got to change it,” Boone said. “We gotta hang some crooked numbers up there.
“We’ve gotta get some guys rolling obviously…we’ve got to find a way right now.”
