Ed Whitson 2.0 should not be put in a high leverage situation for a very long time. The guy's confidence is completely shattered, and all the king's horses and all the king's men won't put him back together this year.
But, to be fair, the offense playing pillow fighting last night against Eovaldi is why they lost. Just a completely pathetic night of at bats by this team. There's a part of me that thinks if they get swept today that Boone could be fired. Then, I wake up and realize that Hal Steinbrenner doesn't truly care that much as long as the seats are bought and paid for. It will be interesting to see what the crowds are like at the stadium this weekend, especially for Old Timer's Day. If there are boos on that day, and that day is typically the tamest crowd the Yankees get in any given season, it's a sign that, to paraphrase Walter Cronkite, that the Yankees have lost their home base.
