New York Yankees fans react to broadcaster Michael Kay ripping Aaron Boone for trying to use 2004 Boston Red Sox comeback as motivation

The New York Yankees were no match for the Houston Astros as they got swept in the ALCS. It was a rough series for the Yankees, as they couldn't get their bats going against a dominant Houston pitching staff. They struck out 60 times compared to Houston's 25.After getting swept, manager Aaron Boone is taking heat for trying to motivate his team in a very questionable way. Before game four, New York's mental skills coach passed out the highlights of the 2004 Boston Red Sox's legendary comeback in the postseason. What makes this questionable is that not only are the two teams rivals, the Red Sox completed that miraculous comeback against the Yankees themselves.Talkin' Yanks@TalkinYanksMichael Kay absolutely ROASTED the Yankees for using the ‘04 Red Sox comeback as motivation4776550Michael Kay absolutely ROASTED the Yankees for using the ‘04 Red Sox comeback as motivation https://t.co/UVwMGzeXEbIn the 2004 ALCS, the Red Sox were trailing the Yankees 0-3 in the series.

The most important one is deciding how much money they are going to throw Aaron Judge's way to stay in New York. Reatining him will be a top priority for the Yankees.Anthony Rizzo could opt-out of his contract this offseason and become a free agent as well. If that happens, New York will have a hole at first base. They can tackle that in free agency or try and convert one of their prospects to playing first for the time being.It will be interesting to see what changes with this team going into the 2023 season.
