BALTIMORE — It was a bad idea to switch the Yankees-Blue Jays game on July 8 in Toronto from the afternoon to a Sunday night ESPN tilt after the Yankees were already on the docket to play a doubleheader in Baltimore on July 9, but Aaron Boone isn’t betting on the game being moved back to the its original 1:05 p.m. time.
According to Boone, nobody from Major League Baseball or ESPN, his former employer, asked the Yankees before making the ill-advised switch — a decision that wasn’t made until after Thursday’s game at Camden Yards was postponed by rain, necessitating that July 9 twinbill.
