Kelly called the matchup with the Yankees a “mismatch from the get-go” on the Baseball Isn’t Boring show, insisting that the Yankees would be eighth or ninth in a re-ranking of the teams that made the postseason this year.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone is bothered a little by criticism of his team’s defense from Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly and defended New York’s fielding following a World Series of mistakes and mental errors.

There have been no talks about an Aaron Boone contract extension, Boone said, and the Yankees manager is not placing public pressure on the organization to offer a longer term deal.
