Playoffs are about to start in Major League Baseball in less than five days. Meanwhile, teams are gearing up to get to the top and win the World Series. One such team is the AL East’s New York Yankees. Following the Yankees winning the division, they are now prepping for the playoffs. Last night, the Yankees went against the Texas Rangers at the Globe Life Field. It was here that the right-hander and pitcher Luis Severino got pulled out of the game after the seventh inning.

In the end, even though the Yankees won, manager Aaron Boone pulling Severino out of the game did not leave the minds of the fans. And therefore, they put their feelings into words when a short clip of Boone talking to Luis got posted on Twitter.

Why did Boone pull Luis Severino out of the game?

In addition to having seven strikeouts, Severino had one of the best starts of his career Monday night against the Rangers. Not only did Luis get seven strikeouts, but he also got pitched seven no-hit innings. In total, he threw 94 pitches but could not complete his no-hits with nine innings.

The reason behind it was that the manager, Aaron Boone, pulled him out of the game just before the start of the eighth inning.

Afterward, Luis got asked if he had finished the no-hitter had he stayed in the game. But he said that he understood the decision and ultimately agreed with it. Additionally, it is clear from the video that Severino did not look like agreeing with Boone over Miguel taking his place.
