It was the series’ last game between the New York Yankees and the Miami Marlins. With it tied to 1-1, it was a crucial game, and the Yankees were doing great until the last-inning collapse.

It brought Boone’s decision to go with Clay Holmes as a pitcher for the ninth innings. Holmes finished the game with three hits, five runs. Resulting in their outfield miseries adding more problems. Because of it, the team recorded a loss after leading by four in the ninth after July 21.

However, Boone harbored different perspectives. Despite his outward dejection, he expressed gratitude towards the team and focused on extracting the positives from the game. Talkin’ Yanks shared a clip of his take.

While addressing the loss, Boone said, “We’re going to play a great team tomorrow, and we’ve got to be ready to go, period. So we know we gotta rack up winds. And as tough as this one is to swallow, you gotta move on from it. Despite a poor game, Boone defended Holmes and said his performance was not different from the rest of the games, but a lack of execution caused the problems.

Boone was asked about that foul throw which led to the Marlins getting back into the game, and its effect on Holmes. He said, “I think if he gets himself in position, he’s gotta play. So, you know, I think in a perfect world, he probably lets it go, and it’s probably a double play to Anthony, but that’s a tough thing to react to at the moment. You know, you see it; it’s a play he makes.”
