Aaron Boone Defends Lineup Choices Amid Heavy Criticism

Yankees' manager stands by decisions despite backlash over batting order in loss to Mets

Boone faced criticism for placing seldom-used players Jahmai Jones and J.D. Davis in key lineup spots.
Jones and Davis went a combined 0-for-6, contributing to the Yankees' 3-2 loss.
Aaron Judge was walked four times as Mets pitchers avoided him to face Davis.
Boone maintains his focus on winning games, tuning out public criticism.
Mike Francesa and other commentators called Boone's lineup decisions 'stupid' and 'baffling.'
