NEW YORK — Let the autopsy begin.

Here are a few answers from Boone’s press conference following the ALDS defeat:

Q. Aaron, what will stand out most to you when you think back to that ninth inning and how it developed and how it ended?

AARON BOONE: Just our competitiveness. We’ve been through a lot this year, but the one thing I’m most proud of with these guys is they always compete. The Gary at-bat I think is a great example of that. If you fall behind 0-2 against that guy, lay off some tough pitches, battle, battle, and just miss winning the game. It was a great at-bat. But just proud of the way they competed. Just really sucks we came up short.

Q. After the events of last night, what was your thoughts on keeping CC in the game as balls are being hit harder and harder against him?

AARON BOONE: I was fine with the way CC was throwing the ball. He was at the two-out point. We were going to have him go through Bradley, simple as that. We just kind of knew we had our guys lined up enough that we could — especially had we got to that point, we could get through the game. I think it was a sound decision to move him, allow him to go through Bradley at that point.

Q. Aaron, it’s always a little surprising when you guys don’t hit here, especially. How shocking was it to see the way your offense was shut down, not once, but twice in this building?

AARON BOONE: Yeah, definitely frustrating, and I think one of their goals in this series was to keep us in the ballpark, and then coming here where we’re so good at that, they were able to do it. Credit to them for being able to hold us down and shut us down, but in the end, you don’t move on usually when you can’t get enough big hits in a series, and they just outplayed us a little bit.
