Boone is a dead man walking 

Ridiculous... But is what it is.

 

100 wins 2018

103 wins 2019

Exclude 2020.   BUT still winning.

92 wins 2021

 

Any other team and he's anointed King, let alone the Mets.  Yankees have a high standard of excellence... But playoff baseball is a crap shoot. Anything can happen. 

 

I think he stays if solely just to piss off @Gugny.   😆 🤣

If having great regular seasons is the goal, then he should get a lifetime extension.

 

I think Yankees fans want World Series appearances/wins, though.

Connie Mack, HoF manager for over 50 years manager... Most wins by far and will forever hold that record was an an under .500 lifetime manager... Granted before playoffs,  he had 5 WS Champions... Playoffs in baseball are an abomination... Sign of the modern short attention span. 

 

50 Years...

 

Boone's Championships will come.  Only been at it for 4 seasons and is .601.

 

Just my opinion though.  😉

Yankee fan here, and Pete Rose isn't wrong, and i like Gallo, he's feast or famine and it's frustrating AF

 

 

 

Yeah, Judge and Stanton both ended up having very nice seasons with regard to hitting for average AND power.  I was skeptical of the Gallo acquisition when it happened because I think they'd have been better off with more of a contact hitter.  Hard to put all the blame on Gallo.  Boone kept putting him in those positions.

Blame for what?  Not winning the WS?

 

Gee... That's a pretty high standard... Even for the Yankees.   I guess 27 Championships and double the League Pennants will do that over 100 years. 

 

...And here the Bills are starving for one simple SB Championship in their 61 years of existence.

 

Hate if you want... But you expect too much, even from the famed Yankees.  The Yankees are fine. This is why the game needs them. It's great when they win, almost better when they lose...

He mismanaged a very talented team.  To get eliminated in the first post season series is inexcusable.  And they haven't won, nor appeared in a World Series, since 2009.  For the Yankees ... with that payroll and that talent ... that is a long time.

Marcus Thames and Phil Nevin have been terminated.

 

Small step getting rid of Thames.........but it's necessary.     Two years of very disappointing hitting performance from that lineup means there deserves to be change.   Same as when they canned Rothschild.   They need an upgrade.

Hogwash... Is the bar really that high for the Yankees?

 

Boston does the same thing.  They live up to the hype.  Only one can win. AND, just happen to play in same Division.

Payroll have caught up with the Yankees. Most teams have payrolls like the Yankees now
