I think it very hypocritical that Boone can find a way to waste Weaver against the 6-7-8 hitters and then find multiple ways for Williams to screw up against the heart of the Astros batting lineup and in big moments.

We gave Weaver that closer's job when Devin Williams was effing up and then didn't hesitate to yank it back when the first opportunity arose to let Devin Williams become a closer again. It's just gross.

Weaver - Closer
Bednar - Setup Man
Cruz when he comes back - Setup man
Doval/Leiter - holy eff, close your eyes, hope he doesn't eff up
De Los Santos - have no idea why Boone doesn't trust him
Tim Hill - the guy we leave on the bench when Devin Williams is screwing up the game
Devin Williams - mop up duty. Treat him like the position player who comes in to pitch when we're down 10 runs


Boone sticking by his ridiculous analytics, instead of reality and logic.


I dunno if he actually follows analytics tbh. He’s really bad at platooning Rice and Goldschmidt against righties/lefties.

But yea…the Yankees analytics team seems pretty suspect right now


He's got no instincts in setting the lineup or when to change pitchers. I can't wait until he's fired.

It's not just Boone that needs to be fired. Cashman and his trash team need to be let go too

I've been a fan for 30 years. I started watching the Yankees regularly as a pre teen and this is the first time that I don't consider myself a fan of the team. I hate saying that but I just can't bring myself to root for this organization right now. I really hope things will change but what Cashman has done to this storied franchise and the fact that Hal continues to allow it, I just can't root for them the way I have always done in the past.

I will probably get some push back for saying this and perhaps I deserve some but remember, I've been a diehard fan for 30 years and it has taken a whole lot to shake my loyalty but I have finally reached that point. I don't want to hear anymore of Hal's year end state of the union address where he gives us more empty promises. I'm done with Boone's post game interviews and most of all I'm done with Cashman's smug arrogance.

The organization needs a complete reset in leadership, but Hal doesn't give a f*ck as long as those seats behind home are sold every season.

Ok we won against a crap Twins team. If we don't do the same over the next 2 games, forget it

Very clutch by Will Warren. I normally would caveat this win by saying its the Twins, but this Yankees team really doesn't have the luxury of looking down on anyone at this time. We can lose to anyone and we can lose in any way possible.

Gotta give props to Stanton. He's hitting better than ever, and he's willing to play right field

Boone is such a damn idiot. It's 9-1. Just play Devin Williams. Even he can't eff up this win.

Man...it was a good night. Yankees win...Montas get benched, like I predicted months ago (and the Mets gave him a PO lollll). Clay Holmes is next...his choking hasn't even reached peak levels yet. They're going to try to move him to the bullpen, where he'll blow some more games

He's just resting him to be available to blow another save.

Hal isn't firing them. Those season tickets fees are getting renewed automatically

I never thought I'd say this, but Max Fried absolutely stinks. To think that we'll have to deal with him for 7 more years is emotionally deflating.

Dude has been pitching like a 7 ERA for awhile now. Another Cashman failure

Gotta point the finger at Matt Blake. Dude is getting super overrated. Our relievers have been crap a while too.

Think this whole thing with the Yankees and their pitching lab is a joke. Very good marketing.

Jake Bird apparently serving up homers in the minors too.

We need a complete coaching overhaul and frankly Cashman needs to go. We need leadership that can look at this roster and the farm system and provide solutions. This current group isn't doing that
