Kay mentioned that since the 2020 ghost runner, extra- innings rule became official, the Yankees had the worst road record in baseball. No conjecture by either him or O' Neill, but the answer is obvious: Aaron Boone. His strategy is jaw- dropping. Take today as an example. Runners on second and third with no outs. Every other manager would intentionally walk the next batter to improve the odds of getting the runner on third via force play rather than a tag play. But BaBoone? Nope.
Starting pitching has been top notch. Aaron Judge is Aaron Judge. Everything else is a second division. At best. Not a true contender. A 21st century contender, maybe, but not a true contender.
I really don't think it's Boone. It's so persistent and pervasive it must come from above. "Here's how we play extras".
Consider the source, but Clint Frazier recently said that Boone's a good guy, but he doesn't control anything. He's a PR guy, mostly. Everything...everything...is dictated from above.

ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE
ReplyDeleteTHE FIELDING ON THE LEFT
SIDE OF THE FIELD
The Yankees suck ass.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees suck a lot of ass.
The Yankees - they suck.
We need relievers
ReplyDeleteIt’s a delicate balance
Boone can’t handle it
We DO need better relievers. Can you imagine LeiteR/Loaisiga/Hamilton et al against the Dodgers or Mets?
ReplyDeleteMore great maneuvering by the moron manager.
ReplyDeleteYet, he will never be replaced.
Nor will the imbecile general manager.
Nor will the idiot nepo owner.
I have to resign myself to never seeing another Yankee championship.
X-innings. You know what that means
ReplyDeleteIt means Judge will strikeout…
ReplyDeleteSame thing…
ReplyDeleteThat's game. We lose. Nite nite.
ReplyDeleteThis team is un-fucking-believable. Another moment for Judge and he comes up small. Very, very, small…
ReplyDeleteReds will show us how its done
ReplyDeleteYankees finally get a break…
ReplyDeleteWild Pitch!
ReplyDeleteJudge will be pitching before this is done
ReplyDeleteOr maybe not.
DeleteWon't be needed
Game’s over…
ReplyDeleteJazz hazz zzero self control
ReplyDeleteToo predictable
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees lost

What are you saying….
DeleteBoone is an awful Skipper?
How right you are, Carl !

ReplyDeleteSpot on Carl. It seems like boone never learns, never changes, never gets better. Until he’s gone the rest of the team won’t either.
ReplyDeleteDespicable.

If the manager is just a order taker and PR flack, could they at least replace him with a hot woman in revealing clothes?
DeleteSo long as they replace all the coaches in the same way.
DeleteSuch a terrific idea, Rufus!
Take a bow….
Sleep Well Yankee Fans
ReplyDeleteKnow that we will contend well
Until we fail, RIGHT!
