Frankie Montas was a consolation prize at the trade deadline, and by definition consolation prizes are meant to console their recipients.
Problem was, when Yankees fans left the Stadium for their cars and trains on Thursday night, they experienced a thousand different feelings. They felt anxiety, anger, frustration, and a little fear. They felt concerned that their pitching staff could be an issue in October, and that Montas, to date, has looked more like a problem than a solution. Yes, it’s very early for the new guy in town, who was making his third start as a Yankee and his first in The Bronx. But his timing here was terrible.
Yet Boone was also quick to point out how baseball “has a way of changing on a dime.” He brought up Mets closer Edwin Diaz. “He couldn’t pitch here [in 2019],” Boone said. “I think he can pitch here now.” In other words, Montas still has the rest of the season to revise his manuscript and write a happy ending. Maybe he will string together four or five encouraging starts in a row. Maybe he will be lights out in the postseason.
Montgomery and Castillo are doing exactly what their new employers hoped for, while Montas is still trying to find his legs. It was a shame this didn’t work out for him Thursday night, in front of an energetic crowd drawing from the magic of the night before. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post “I stood up a little prouder on the top step and said, ‘OK, it goes with the territory sometimes here,’ ” he said. Boone spoke of what comes “with putting this uniform on,” and reminded that athletes can’t allow themselves to be diminished by the noise.
