Can’t blame everything on Boone but this team’s poor fundamentals and laziness at times falls on the manager. Boone is one of several problems, but he is most definitely one of the problems. He makes so many poor decisions throughout any given season, but last night was probably his worst managed game of the year, if not the worst of his tenure. - Continuing to sit Wells. The offense stinks. It just does, and sitting one of the three guys on your team that has actually been productive is stupid, stupid, stupid. I don't wanna hear about splits. You finally brought him in late and he smacked two piss missiles off of lefties. He should be playing pretty much everyday. If you want to play Trevy, sit Stanton and let Wells DH. Stop the insanity. - Why in the hell are you pitching to Ramirez in extra innings with 1st base open? Again, just clueless game management. - DJ is completely washed. He has the third lowest OPS in the entire league among players with a minimum of 200 plate appearances. Stop putting him up there in high leverage situations. To make matters worse, he's a GIDP inning killer. And to make matters worse, he looks lost at 1B defensively. That botch late in the game was just basic stuff and he screwed up. - Why in the wide world of sports would you start the 12th inning with Mayza who has been terrible this season? TERRIBLE. Yes, Tonkin got knocked around after him, but he had a better chance starting the inning than Mayza. - Again, his clueless BP management strikes. He emptied the BP in the first of 9 straight games without a day off and Nestor, who has a knack for early exits, pitching the next game. You know all of this, but instead of conserving some arms to live another day, you yank guys after an inning without high pitch counts. Now you're probably going to have to play some roster jenga just to have arms. - The lineup card bingo is tiresome. It doesn't work. Pick a spot in the lineup for these guys if you insist on playing them and let them try to get comfortable and work it out. To me, the Yankees are not serious about competing for a World Series as long as Boone is managing this team. And Cashman is a liability making personnel decisions at this point. Ideally, both guys get sent packing, but at the very least, get a manager in here who can deploy the roster better, even with all of its flaws, and not make so many glaring gaffes during the season. * I don't expect either Boone or Cash to be fired anytime soon. Boone is Cashman's boy/puppet and Hal ain't firing Cashman. |

If the Yankees have a bad MLB postseason, Manager Aaron Boone and GM Brian Cashman must go! "Waiting for next year" is for Dodgers fans. Cashman has failed to put a team together that is tight, instead of usual his "patch work" during the season. I am all for bringing back Buck as the team Manager and a good MLB experience General Manager, who knows how to built a solid contender. Cashman has outlive his usefulness as a Yankee GM, it's certainly time for him to go. I have been a Yankees fan since 1957.

Holmes is not the closer any more so I guess they learned something.

I'm new here, but a lifelong Yankee fan, and I've got some basic questions for our weird manager...may y'all can help me out:
1. Why a six starting pitcher rotation, especially when (1) no starter goes more than six innings or about 100 pitches, and (2) the sixth starter is Warren, who, after his initial appearance, has gotten clobbered every time out?
2. Why in the world is Holmes, after 10 blown saves and counting, still the closer? I'm sure any of a number of others in the pen couldn't be worse.
3. Why is Cabrera, a young player with lots of potential, not the starting third baseman, and why isn't he a good choice for leadoff hitter. And while we're at it, why does Boone seem so uninterested in speed, stolen bases, hit and run opportunities, etc. The Yanks must rank as the slowest team in baseball.
4. Why is Rice, another young player, but an automatic out at the plate, still the starting first baseman?
I could go on, but I'll stop here to see if someone can enlighten me.

The Yanks aren't using a six man rotation. Gil is on the injured list and Warren replaced him because he's one of the few options on the 40 man roster. |

Cashman is biggest blame. Boone is just an organization puppet and player's manager. I know other don't agree but I don't see anything from Matt Blake bringing improvement or consistency to this staff.

I know other don't agree but I don't see anything from Matt Blake bringing improvement or consistency to this staff. Blake was doing fine till this year. Last year's team was not good but the pitching side was fine. This year even through the offense has some off days they lead the al in like 5 categories but keep having to climb out of holes because if the pitching. Starting rotation has been more stable lately but bullpen still wildly inconsistent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
