I wonder how Boone feels now
how do you continue to manage when they strip your boys out?
seems like they’re trying to force him to resign
Sources: 3 Yanks coaches out as part of shake-up

Dodgers are starting Corey Knebel
Taking a page out of the Rays playbook, eh?
It will be interesting to see if that changes the Giants lineup/batting order.
Mind games. Love it.
He's not under contract for 2022.
All they have to do is sign someone else. But this is definitely going to make it a bit less hospitable for him and that makes me happy.
Oh boy, that did not look like a swing and it turns out it was not
People still focus on the wrists breaking. It has nothing to do with that.
It is a judgement call. It's considered a strike if there was an intent to strike the ball.
I've seen check swings make contact and go over the fence. It was Wriley, but still.

Never thought I would ever cheer for the Red Sox or Yankees, but times change. I haven't cheered for the Yankees yet but I absolutely would if they were playing Houston.
If ISIS fielded a baseball team and joined MLB, I would honestly cheer for them to beat the Astros.

We have a solid manager. He gets tossed like once a week. I love it. Really looking forward to him kicking Clint Hurdle's ass again next year.@Hauler Aaron Freaking Boone is back in pinstripes next season. Sorry the Reds couldnt steal him away.
I tried to tell
@Willthiswork - 3 yr extension.My sources are never wrong.

@Willthiswork and I were turning the corner in our online relationship. I want to feel bad for him, I really do, but its the Yankees and we have to Enjoy when the Yankees do Kansas City things like this.
Well it's been chatting with you guys in these baseball threads.
I won't be watching enough next year to have a clue what's going on.
"The last time a Yankees manager was allowed to manage a fifth season without having won a World Series ring was 1922."

Well thank the Yanks for locking him down so the Cards couldnt do anything too stupid.
That's been the cool thing about the franchise previously.
But that is a crazy stat.
Some people just see them throwing money at players and I get that. But what I loved even as a kid was that they didn't put up with bullshit. If you weren't winning they were willing to blow shit up and try again.
George was relentless in trying to make sure that next year's team was going to be better than the current year. Now his son's are running it like a business where everything is slow and methodical and they seem far more concerned about a luxury tax than winning.
I'm not mad at trying to keep the salary under a threshold. That's fine. But when you're fucking loaded with talent and you can't win then it's time for wholesale changes to management.
Boone is like Jim Harbaugh. Good for short term cheerleading but there's no substance there. People tire of him and his shit decisions and realize they need someone with brains and fire.
So unless they shit out a new staff around him that can cover up his flaws and remind the lineup that the only way to hit .300 like they have in the past is to put the ball in play, I'm done with watching until he's gone.
Reds and Yankees hit the same amount of HRs - 222
But the Reds had 57 fewer Ks.
But the talent between the 2 clubs isn't even close so I see your point.
NY salary $179m (2nd)
CIN salary $119m (16th)
just chill, they’re a good team.
