LOL! What accountability? Does he give them a strong talking to in the club house. What a joke!
This reminds me of the Red Sox Franconia managerial disaster that led him to be fired. Boone acts like every player is a Hall of Famer just going through routine struggles in his press conferences. I'm sure he's not going off on anyone in the clubhouse in private afterwards. I see he went after his 1st Base Coach for Jazz's screwup and not Jazz though.

And as much as I love Aaron Judge, he just seems too nice of a guy to be the Captain that calls people out in the clubhouse.

Actually it was you and my brother in law. I decided since nobody cared about in game posting I would mostly take to him during the games.

Yankees Manager Aaron Boone Responds to Heavy Criticism From Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez

https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees-manag...alex-rodriguez
Boone isn’t the type of manager this team needs too laid back and one of the worst in game managers you could ask for.

If I could take one moment completely out of Yankee history it would be Boone’s 2003 ALCS game winning extra inning home run. Glad they won that game but I wish he would’ve popped out and somebody else would’ve won the game for them. Without that home run most likely he would’ve never been manager of the Yankees 8 years and counting.

Because Joe Girardi was the manager and not Boone. Girardi let him play no matter what.

Boone will screw over Dominguez left and right but he leaves a loser like Volpe out there.

Girardi got fired because he called out Sanchez. You're not going to get a "tough" manager.

Accountability he can’t say he makes anyone accountable. Look at the recent garbage with no benchings. Volpe has become an error machine, Wells forgetting how many outs and costs them an at bat with a runner in scoring position and Jazz getting doubled up on a popout to second but yet all 3 have not missed any time due to it. Those instances alone should tell Hal he needs to be gone.

Put Dominguez on another team he plays every game and bats in the same spot in the lineup. With Boone he gets days off right after a 4hit game and he might bat1st,2nd, 5th, 6th, or 7th. And he is a switch hitter who has been getting better from the right side but our crap for brains puts the newly acquired Slater up for him after Jazz hit a 2 run homer with nobody out. They would have to go 20-30 to end their consecutive above .500 season streak but if it meant Boone getting fired I am all for it.

I guarantee they would’ve won at least one title under Girardi if he were given the 8 years and same team Boone has had.

But it's not just Boone. Judge was made Captain. He really isn't a leader of men. Too passive and poor performer in postseason.

I agree that he was not a good choice for Captain but in his rookie season they got within one game of going to the World Series and might’ve went if not for cheating. Based on what he did in his first couple of seasons I don’t blame them for making him captain as they had no way of knowing he would disappear in the postseason at that point. Also Jeter as a captain had a much better team as even when Jeter slumped or had a bad playoff series the team still won.

This! The Yankees had to pick between the 30 HR catcher or the manager. They chose wrong.

Who even is a "tough" manager these days? Is there an example of a manager really calling out a player in the press? The only one to sort of get called out was Devers.

They would have won a WS if they signed Harper instead of trading for Stanton. Signing Seager instead of handing Volpe the job.

Boones a puppet. Cashman and Hal stink.

Boone screaming at the 1B coach was funny as he had his thumb up his a$$ instead of yelling at Jazz to get back. Which he shouldn't have to do, but....

And let's look at the Mets 1B coach (another ex yankee) who is a base stealing savant that times up pitchers to a T and they steal alot of bases they never did before...

I'm sure this will help.

Maybe but he only won once and you can argue he had better teams. And then he was run out of Philadelphia with decent talent...

I think the bottom line is if we had a healthy Cole we'd be there. Without him as a stopper we are no better than anyone else in the division.

I thought Boone should've been gone after 2023. The pinch hitting and bullpen usage and um.... did he forget he has Rosario...

But thats all minor. There's not enough pitching I dont care if you're Casey Stengal.

Boone with another great lineup tonight. Lost 3 in a row and you have your best pitcher on the mound, so what do you do? Start all of the scrubs you just picked up and sit Dominguez. At least they could have sat crappy Volpe, but he's out there again

That lineup is cringe worthy, from what I remember here it is.

Goldschmidt 1b
Rosario lf
Bellenger cf
Stanton dh
Slater rf
Jazz 2b
Volpe ss
Wells c
Caballero 3b
Fried p

Talk about giving your ace a non hitting lineup.
