Yankees manager Aaron Boone has often been known in Yankee circles for his choice use of words after losses, with his quote in 2024 of "It's right in front of us" becoming somewhat of an inside joke. "It was a really great baseball game. It really was," Boone said shortly after the Yankees' loss on Saturday.

New York Yankees fans will likely create a hostile environment as their team hosts the New York Mets for the first time since Juan Soto left.
