OT: NY Yankees 2025 Season Thread (Hal is cheap, Brian is dumb)

[Jalen Bluntson]

Boston has been able to defeat the Yankees 5 out of 6 games because they clearly take this rivalry more seriously than Boone and the Yankees do. Do you think the Sox would have waited until after these games to trade Devers if they didn't see beating the Yankees in June as a priority? The fact that the Yankees as an organization have such a nonchalant attitude towards the Red Sox is a slap in the face to Yankee fans who attend these games to watch their team compete.

Where's the nonchalant attitude? Would love to have more information about that.

Where’s the nonchalant attitude? It’s in the way Boone shrugs off these losses in the press conferences like they’re nothing. It’s in the way the team didn't show any urgency in this series; low energy, poor at-bats, poor base running and sloppy defense. Meanwhile, the Sox play with fire and purpose like these games mean everything. The Yankees treat June like Spring Training, but these are division games. Rivalry games. Momentum games. That kind of mentality from the Yankees is exactly the problem.

Ahh. That's just your opinion on things. I'm pretty sure they aren't happy losing. They just don't react like fans when they do.

Baseball is a long season where good teams lose to bad teams and division rivals all of the time. When it happens late in the season during a division race it's a lot different than losing in June to the 4th place team. It's not the end of the season.

Of course it's not the end of the season, but that doesn't mean these games are meaningless. Every game counts the same in the standings. Losing to your main rival 5 times in 6 games now can easily come back to haunt you in September, especially with Tampa being a much better team than they were last season.

And sure, Boone and the players might not react like the average passionate fan, but when there's no visible accountability or fire, it feels like they’re just accepting the status quo. The fans show up with energy because this rivalry means something to them and we as a loyal fanbase deserve to see that same energy reflected on the field.

The first post I made was about the idea that the season is over or declining is funny. Oh boy.

It's never meaningless but, in the grand scheme, acting like the season is over or they need to fire people over it? Really?

Wanting Boone fired is really the issue. Hating the ownership/FO/HC is the issue fueling this rage.

Nobody said the season is over. The issue is patterns. When you see the same lack of urgency against rivalry opponents year after year and the same disappointing October exits, fans have a right to question leadership. It’s not about reacting to a few June losses; it’s about how this team responds to adversity and how often they look unprepared in games that carry extra weight.

If fans didn't hold managers and the front office accountable, we'd still be stuck in the late 80's/ early 90's mindset. Fair criticism isn't rage, it’s frustration that stems from expectations. We’re not the Kansas City Royals. We are the NY Yankees.

Whatever. You said the season in decline. I responded...oh boy season is over in June. Now we are talking about some nonsense . It's like you're looking for things to complain about.

First place and top 4 in the entire league but, we gotta talk about losing to Boston in June as a reason to fire people?

You guys did this all the way to the WS last year. It's hilarious.

I'm not a fan of the owner the GM or the HC and I don't see anything saying we are a championship team but, I said the same thing last year and we made it to the WS. Losing Cole really hurt but, this is a solid team and I hope we can make it and take it this year. I doubt it but, that's why they play the games. That's why I watch.

Maybe I came into this thread hot, but it’s not “looking for things to complain about” when the same issues keep showing up against a team like Boston. Yeah, we’re in first, but if you watch the games closely, you can’t deny that there’s been a noticeable drop in execution, energy, and urgency lately. That is what exactly is my concern.

Last year we made it to the WS, but we also limped through stretches like this and it caught up to us against a more determined team like the Dodgers. This team should be better. The roster is solid, yes, but that’s exactly why stuff like this is frustrating. It’s not about doom and gloom or being a debbie downer, but about demanding better from a team that can be better.

And like you said: that’s why we watch. Because we care.

That's more like it. I feel the same way. Not a fan of Boone and I don't see the same fire even compared to last year. I hope the team can get rolling again and we see more out of them as the season progresses. It's a better team than last year minus losing Cole.

[NYKinMIA]

we gave the sux a big boost in only 6 games.

I'm not too thrilled about that shyt.

Pissed but, I'm over it. Gotta move on and not look back. I spend a lot of time in Red Sox territory. I hear **** all the time about 2004!!! I'm still pissed about that!!!

[blue and orange]

So that's 20 innings of zero runs, 30 innings of 1 run only because of a Judge homer.

Just like that Tampa is only 2.5 games back of first. I'll ask you all this question. What do the Yankees have to lose if you moved on from Boone and made Matt Blake the interim manager. Blake is gonna get a managers job eventually anyways why not give him a shot.

I get it's ridiculous to fire a manager for being in a slump. Players aren't blameless here either but the team needs a shakeup. The freaking Royals fired Ned Yost in season and he won a World Series with them. This franchise had no balls so they would never do such a thing.

The Yankees will never give the managerial position to anyone who will question Hal's or Cashman's decisions or steal their thunder, this is why they continue to have a puppet manager under them. The only way we'll see Boone lose his job is when he becomes the scapegoat for Cashman's and the FO's incompetency.

Not panicking but, the last bunch of games have been as bad as it gets. What's going on right now? No one can hit.

[Jalen Bluntson]

Oops

[knicks94]

Weird, it’s almost as if the Yankees have done this every year in the Boone era except 2019. Truly a lack of focus because NO OTHER team goes through this exact thing at the exact same time every single season. At what point will management be held accountable?

[Jalen Bluntson]

27 CONSECUTIVE scoreless innings. 5 runs scored in the last 54 innings. 5 straight losses. What is the problem here?

Zero run support in 6 games is alarming.

[MrDollarBills]

Yankees pitching is throwing 2.25 ERA over the last 6 games.

Our hitters are 1-18 with runners in scoring position


Guys need to wake up.

[JXL]

Pitching is doing its job, which is surprising but not really.

Hitting is in a major slump, particularly Judge, who looks listless at the plate. It's like the current weather in NY this month.

Dumbest shyt in my book is how much is caused by stupid mistakes. Guys running into outs, forgetting the out count, not being to bring in the designated man on base in OT.

I’m looking back at it and a lot of the mistakes are being made by our young dudes…Rice, Volpe, Jasson. We gotta live with that now so we don’t need to live with it later. That’s what happens when we want to play the young dudes, so I’m okay with it.

Still, I’d argue that lack of detail-oriented clean play is a feature of Boone’s teams. It was an issue in the last World Series and is just happening again.
