“It feels terrible. ... Not the time to feel sorry for yourself” - Yankees manager Aaron Boone remains unhappy with team’s continuous slump

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed his distress during their 3-0 loss against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. Rafael Devers hit a home run in the seventh and ninth innings, which led to the Red Sox's victory.

The Yankees have seen a significant drop in the standings, as they're now just 5-15 in their last 20 games. They lost two out of three games against the Red Sox, their second straight series loss. So, it's not a great time for the team, and Aaron Boone isn't in favor of the team's performance right now.

Speaking with the media, he stated how he feels seeing the team losing series consecutively, and how it isn't a "bump in the road" anymore. Boone wants to get over it in the upcoming games.

"It feels terrible. Yeah, I mean, you got to be a little sick to be in this game though, and you got to be able to weather it, "Boone said. "So, you know, you'd like your stretch where it's a bump in the road to, you know, not be this kind of stretch. You know, you'd like to weather it a little bit better which we need to, obviously. But, you know, it's all right there in front of us."

The Yankees were shut out for the sixth time this season. However, it was the first since April 29. The Yankees haven't won a series in their past seven. Still, Aaron Boone wants to be optimistic about the future.

But, you know, this is not the time to feel sorry for yourself. It's time to, you know, try and get guys going, get guys moving, and, you know, hopefully, head in the All-Star break on a good note," Boone added.

Aaron Boone doesn't pay heed to the criticism from Aaron Judge's hitting coach

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone brushed aside criticism from Aaron Judge's personal hitting coach, Richard Schenk. Schenk took to social media, pointing out the team's recent struggles despite Judge's MVP-caliber hitting. He suggested that the Yankees' offensive development needs work.

Boone, however, remained stoic. He acknowledged everyone's right to an opinion, especially during a slump, but emphasized the importance of the team staying positive and focused on improvement.

"People are going to say things and certainly everyone's entitled to their opinion, and especially when you go through a tough stretch and you wear this uniform I know people are going to take shots and things like that, so you can't get all consumed with all that stuff," Boone responded.

Schenk isn't employed by the Yankees and works with Aaron Judge separately "every two weeks," per ESPN. When asked, Judge decided to distance himself from Schnek's comments about his team's performance.
