Aaron Hicks got a break from the boo birds at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, since he didn’t play in the Yankees’ 4-2 win over the Phillies.
But it was a rough opening homestand for the outfielder, who is 0-for-7 with three strikeouts to start the season and Hicks has gotten the brunt of the fans’ displeasure in the early going, especially in Tuesday night’s loss in The Bronx, when he was booed loudly on several occasions.
The issue of the outfielder’s harsh treatment by the Yankee Stadium crowd on multiple occasions this season remained a topic of conversation.“We talked a little bit about it [Tuesday] night,’’ Aaron Boone said Wednesday of his chat with Hicks after Tuesday’s game. The 33-year-old said he’s mainly concerned with just “getting hits. The rest of it I can’t control, so I’m not worried about it.”“I think now, you’re at the start of the season and guys get their firsts [hits and RBIs] and get into the rhythm of the season,’’ Boone said. “I do feel he’s had mostly competitive at-bats up there.”
“I think he’s through that phase where it could be a little overwhelming and uncomfortable,’’ Boone said. “He just wants to move forward. … The biggest thing is to control the moment and [go] pitch-by-pitch. I feel like he did a good job of that the last two weeks of spring training.”
