After the Yankees' 2-0 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday, manager Aaron Boone explained his decision to use Devin Williams in the eighth inning and stick with his reliever when he struggled.

Instead, the eighth-year manager, who almost always tries to display the even-keeled nature he wants his team to emulate, has had a shift in tone with more urgency in recent days as this two-month stretch of sub-.500 play by the Yankees grows deeper and the number of remaining games grows smaller.

The New York Yankees suffered yet another brutal loss to the Texas Rangers on Monday night, and some are calling for Aaron Boone's job.
