Just a plain dumb move. Fight back from a 4-0 hole and then you bring in a AAA pitcher who struggled at that level and it sucks the momentum away Agreed. Accept for some of his lineups in the past when a poor hitting lefty was hitting in the middle of the lineup just to break up the righty hitters I usually don't criticize Boone. I'm not even sure if he writes the lineup or not.
But I don't know what Boone was thinking when he put Andrews in such a tight game. If he was saving Ferguson to Close, then he should have used Weaver who only threw 6 pitchers the day before. Instead he used the 13th pitcher on a 13 man pitching staff, and ended up using Ferguson when the game was more out of the Yankees reach.

how big a leash does Grishom have? 2 for 34?
My guess is that he gets a 5.5 million dollar opportunity (his salary) to play.
When DJ comes off the IL, I hope the Yankees have Cabrera or Verdugo as their backup CFer.

In my opinion, the bullpen move Boone made is a move that a manager makes in September when his team has already clinched 1st place, so that he can rest his key relief pitchers. |

Oswaldo pretty much gets himself out to end the game. Yeah, he swung at some pretty bad pitches out of the strike zone. |

I think a lot of us want to know the answer to this one. My guess is that they didn't want to promote Marinaccio because they didn't want to use up 1 of his options for only 1 game. |

Boone is at his best with the bullpen when his choices are limited. We don’t want Boone thinking or with multiple options.
Just my 2 cents...No manager is perfect, but I never saw a manager handle the bullpen better than Girardi did. |

Well they did sweep the Twins in between I considered them, but then I limited it to teams who might give us problems in the post-season. Tough series, Seattle has very good starting pitchers. |

My guess is that they didn't want to promote Marinaccio because they didn't want to use up 1 of his options for only 1 game. my sense is that andrews was brought up because he was "disposable" because as you said it was more complicated w marinaccio. nonetheless boone didn't have to put him in a spot where we definitely needed a hold.
but with 2 lefties & a switch hitter due up, boone went w andrews to get the lefty on lefty matchups and turn raleigh around. he pretty much admitted he should have went w ferguson there. got bit by that one.

If I remember right, the number of times you move a player up and down is not the number of options or option years.. Rather, each year a player is moved up to the majors at least once and then down again counts as using one "option year". As Marinaccio was called to the majors in both 2022 and 2023, those two seasons use up two of his three "option years", and this is his final option year. If they call him up again next year, and try to move him back down to AAA, they'll have to pass him through waivers to complete the move. I think what's going on is slightly more complicated. They didn't want to recall Marinaccio because they knew they would activate Kahnle today, and that therefore, they'd either have to send Marinaccio back down today (and start his 10 day clock for the next recall at 0 again), or send down Tonkin, which, as he is out of options, they'd have to pass Tonkin through waivers. So, the choices were denying themselves the choice of being able to recall Marinaccio whenever they need him next, having to wait another 10 days (unless an injury happens), pass Tonkin through waivers, or put up with Andrews on the team for a day or two. They chose Andrews, and it helped them lose a game. Oops. |

I guess for some reason the Yankees didn't want to put Tonkin through waivers.
