Post Title: Yankees’ Closer Dilemma: Boone Gets Creative Amid Holmes’ Blown Saves
Body Content Summary:
The New York Yankees are grappling with their closer situation following a series of disappointing performances, including Clay Holmes’ 11th blown save attempt this season. After losing three consecutive series, Yankees manager Aaron Boone hinted at a “creative” approach to the ninth inning, suggesting a potential committee instead of relying solely on Holmes. Despite a solid overall ERA of 3.27, Holmes has struggled recently, particularly since mid-May, leading to discussions about other potential closers like Tommy Kahnle, Luis Gil, and Clarke Schmidt.
The Yankees’ bullpen is struggling because of injuries and some new players not doing well. Manager Boone is getting a lot of criticism and feels the pressure to fix these problems. People are suggesting that he should rethink how he uses his pitchers based on how they are performing. Fans are also upset with Cashman, the team’s general manager, because the team hasn’t found a dependable closer. This could hurt their chances of making the playoffs.
