What's Next? More Boone Babble And Cashman Crap!

If you were holding out for hope that something positive comes out of Hal Steinbrenner’s “deep dive” it’s not looking very pretty. Both Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone had a lot to say to the media, and none of their comments were very inspiring. This feels like a repeat episode of failure.

After 17 losses in the last 24 games and a fall from first place in the AL East to holding on to a Wild Card spot, Baboonie is in the hot seat again. He’s used to it by now and fans are beyond frustrated by it. We’re also frustrated (but used to) Brian Cashman defending him. How the hell do these two still have jobs?

Both of them had a lot to say recently, the New York Post breaks it down HERE. I can’t stand Baboonie as the Yankees manager anymore. He’s a soft simpleton in my opinion who just can’t get the job done, yet the Yankees keep him around. Am I the only one that hates this quote?
“It starts with me,” Boone said. “I filter in through the coaches and it’s about us trying to get these guys prepared the best we can, setting a tone with how we present ourselves. But it’s on us as coaches to put our players in the best position possible to go out there and be successful. We got to continue to try to do that to the best of our ability and trust that the ball’s going to start to bounce our way a little bit and we can get it rolling here. It starts on that bump and we gotta keep at it.”

WE GOT TO CONTINUE TO TRY?! You’ve been trying since 2018, Baboonie and it hasn’t happened. There’s no more try! There’s you do the job and right the ship now or you gotta go. There is no TRY. I don’t go to work every day, and TRY to do the assignments and projects my boss gives me. I do the job or I should expect to not have my job. It should be no different for him but somehow, it is because he’s protected.

And what makes it worse, is he is protected by Brian Cashman, who is even more incapable of doing his own job than Baboonie is and Cashman said it best himself. “Obviously he works extremely hard. He’s very well-connected with these guys. He’s charged every day with pushing the right buttons the best he can with what he’s got. I think he’s navigating that as well as he possibly can,” said Brian Cashman.

He’s charged every day with pushing the right buttons the best he can with what he’s got. Hmmmm….funny how what Baboonie’s got is the exact flawed roster designed by Cashman himself and constantly riddled with injuries. Honestly, minus Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo, this is the exact same offense we had last season. It didn’t get the job done then, and it isn’t now. I don’t care if Aaron Judge and Soto are two of the best players in the game, they are only two in a lineup of nine and they can’t do it all themselves. And what about the starting rotation recently? Overperformed in April and May without Gerrit Cole and now a major weakness. Oh, and Carlos Rodon looks like a terrible signing now…. fixing on two bad seasons in a row. 

Was Cashman at his best when he was thriving on the team that Gene Michael masterfully conducted? He had a vision for a winning team, which is lost on Cashman. He doesn’t have the same skill set, and yet he is protected by Hal.

It’s just another episode of Boone babble and Cashman crap….and I am tired of watching and listening. Will Hal ever wake up and realize this isn’t working?
