Great ballplayer, solid captain (I guess), but he does come out with some of the dumbest quotes in Yankeedom.

But if we take Judge at face value, he does show that maybe he's not the brightest bulb in the league. Which is fine. Again, Who Cares?
Although, I have to say, I cracked up reading the end of Keefe's diatribe. Maybe Judge was just trying to encourage his teammates, but he thinks Boone is A-OK and we really need Volpe to be a winner. Yeah, sure.
Encouragement is good, but this is hysterical:
“He can be one of the greats in the game,” Judge said of Chisholm. “I think this will be a big year for him to take that next step.”
Chisholm had the worst season of his career.
“I think this will be a big year for him,” Judge said of Wells, “he’s really going to take that next step.”
Wells had the worst season of his career.
“I think there’s just so much more potential,” Judge said of McMahon. “I think what he’s about to do with the bat this year, he’s going to take off for us.”
McMahon had the worst season of his career.

I really got no problem with anything he said recently. He said they (management) has to fill the holes, get it done. Nothing that ain't true. He said they have to go "all in". Which implies that they haven't gone all in so far. Which, again, is the truth.
As far as what he said about Boone being a good manager, I think he was only trying to be diplomatic. Judge is never going to say that anyone SUCKS. He's never going to rip Boone. And after all, Boone always has the players' backs. So tit for tat. Anyway, if you read between the lines, Judge did say that they have to get "certain players or personnel". That's an odd word to use there, eh? Personnel. I read that as referring to the manager or the coaches. So there's that.
Anyhow, I don't know what the hell the big hullaballoo is about anything Judge said. He's not paid to be the team spokesperson or make the decisions. He's just a dumb ballplayer. Who cares what he says? I don't get Keefe's article either. Is Keefe now on Cashman's payroll too? Is Keefe dating Cashman's daughter? What the hell?
I hear ya, JM. And I'm glad that Judge is not our manager or general manager. But yeah, Hammer, once again The Great Deflector occupies himself defending his office turf, instead of trying to make his team better...
Some of the criticism seems to be, 'How dare Judge demand that the Yankees, with their huge payroll, spend still more money?'
People's concern about the Steinbrenners' ever-increasing fortunes never ceases to amaze me. But it also turns the arrow right back at Mr. Deflector.
If the Yankees are already spending so much money and not winning it all, whose fault is that?
As for Keefe, well, even the best of us has a bad at-bat. I think he is simply a little crazed with anger about how the Yanks flopped again.
Been there, done that.

Gotta be dating Cashman's daughter. Most likely explanation.
Nobody is complaining that the Yankees don't spend enough money. We're all complaining that they spend it wrong. Which is why Cashman has to go. But fat chance of that, as we've said.
Judgie is full of you know what and he has bad eyesight and brain damage or all of the above. Judge is not Jeter, Munson or the other winners. He is always injured. So he feels the ned to talk. Jibberish.
And....why don't the media go there? Gee...
