Boone noted the homer Judge hit in the Game 3 loss and another hit in the Game 4 win on Sunday in Cleveland.
For a team built around power, the Yankees’ two best power hitters had inconsistent performances in the first four games of the ALDS, with Aaron Judge going 2-for-16 with a homer and a team-high nine strikeouts and Giancarlo Stanton just 1-for-12 with one home run and five strikeouts.
“I just wanted to flip it up a little bit,’’ Boone said Monday of the switch. “Part of it [is], I feel like we’re a little more whole as a group than we were two and three weeks ago, or certainly a month, six weeks ago, when I felt like there was the real necessity to put him up there.” Without the injured DJ LeMahieu and Andrew Benintendi, the Yankees haven’t had a leadoff hitter they’ve been happy with, so they continued to use Judge there.
“You guys hear me talk about balance all the time,’’ Boone said. “I kind of get obsessed about that a little bit, especially against certain opponents more than anything.” Giancarlo Stanto“I’m encouraged,’’ Boone said of Stanton’s performance at the plate lately.
