Aaron Boone's bullpen blunders cost the New York Yankees again. Is the manager sabotaging his own team's playoff chances?

Stacey Gotsulias and Brian McKeon dissect Boone's questionable decision to pull Cam Schlittler after just 5 innings against the Minnesota Twins. The hosts also analyze Aaron Judge's fading MVP hopes, comparing his stats to top contender Cal Raleigh. They also examine Giancarlo Stanton's resurgence and the Yankees' missed opportunity to gain ground in the standings.

Tune in for passionate debate on Boone's management style, Judge's power decline, and how recent losses impact the Bronx Bombers' postseason aspirations.
