9 concerns Yankees face before home opener
Say what you want about Boone’s decision to intentionally walk Josh Donaldson to get to Justin Smoak, who then rocked a go-ahead grand slam in the Yankees’ 7-4 loss in Toronto on Sunday night. It was up to Robertson, who requested the intentional walk, to get Smoak out.
Before that, Tommy Kahnle coughed up a two-run homer to Smoak. On Saturday, Dellin Betances gave up his second home run of the season and essentially blew the game. And Adam Warren is hurt.
The Yankees expected their bullpen to be their greatest strength going into 2017. So far, it’s been their weakness.
