After New York’s 4-0 loss to Toronto Friday manager Aaron Boone had this to say about 5th shutout loss!
We should be ticked off right now and we need to start playing better. Plain and simple,"
in August, most in the majors. New York came into the month having been shut out just a total of six times.
"You pour a lot into trying to shake hands at the end of the day, and we've been able to do that on balance on a really high clip this year. We've hit a rough patch and we've got to dig ourselves out," "We can sit here, and I can keep answering questions and talk about it ... but we've got to go do it. And the good news is we've got all the pieces in that room to do that. I know that's coming. I know it's going to happen, but it really sucks going through it."
One of the things we preach is having that consistency and being able to handle the good and the bad, but you should be a little pissed off right now,” Boone said. “We’re a really good team. It’s been long enough now to where it’s been an extended period of struggle. We have to do better.”
I don’t give a crap about the lead,”We need to play better. If we play like this, it’s not going to matter anyway. If we handle our business, we’re in a great spot. We understand that, but we need to handle our business.”

Manager Aaron Boone wasn’t the only one to comment on New York’s 4-0 loss to Toronto as catcher Kyle Higashioka, Jameson Taillon who started who surrendered groundout 3- run home run to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Teoscar Hernandez did as well saying All we can do is pull for each other, keep believing in ourselves,We need to understand that this is the same group that won a bunch of games earlier in the year, and we can do it again. We just need to get that little spark and get going again.”

Kevin Gausman had this say about his start verses New York! It’s going to be a challenge,”I think that urgency was kind of lacking at certain points during the season. Where we’re at now, we all know, with [44] games left, we’ve got to strap it on. We’ve got to go.”
Teoscar Hernandez had this to say about Toronto how Toronto is performing offensively right now!
The team is playing pretty good right now Everybody is getting everything together. We were going through it for a couple of weeks, really tough, on the road and at home. We just try to stay together, do our thing, go out there and fight every time.”
“According to Keegan Matheson’s article on mlb.com”
Interim manager John Schneider had this to say about Toronto’s 4-0 over New York, Kevin Gausman start, previous starts by Ross Stripling Jose Berrios “You try to ride the highs and get out of the lows. Whenever anyone has a performance like [Ross] StriplingWednesday, José [Berríos] yesterday or a big game like our offense had, you just hope it continues to carry over and do its thing. It wakes guys up. It’s about the next guy up, and we want to keep this rolling.” “Baseball is hard enough as it is,”When you’re in a bit of a funk, everyone seems to try doing a little too much. When you’re going good, you’re not really thinking about all of the things that could go wrong, you’re focused on everything that could go right.”You’ve heard a hundred times now that momentum is only as good as the next day’s starting pitcher, and when that’s Gausman, you’ve got one hell of a wave to rise. Gausman looked as good as he has all season,
