## Resource

The Yankees had a four-run lead, a dominant Cam Schlittler start and countless chances to put away the White Sox, yet somehow suffered their most infuriating loss of the season. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber unload on Ali Sanchez’s disastrous decision to attempt a back pick at third base with two outs, while the offense disappeared and the bullpen failed to protect another winnable game. Aaron Boone did not lose the game with his managerial decisions, but his refusal to call Sanchez’s mistake unacceptable created an even bigger controversy. Evan and Tiki debate whether Boone’s constant protection of his players represents the same lack of accountability that could punish the Yankees again in October. Plus, the Mets’ collapsing attendance, Spencer Jones being removed despite a strong night and Tiki’s surprising memories of “The Baseball Bunch.”
