This is when a good manager rights the ship. Instead Boone does stuff like putting JD Davis at cleanup...he's a genius.

[@lasticonoclast]

A good manager would never allow this level of play to happen, never mind continue. That Grissom play last night shows the level of disregard the current Yankees have for their manager and each other. I miss Billy Martin.

[@araafkhami9176]

If they really wanna make a statement they should fire Boone. He's had plenty of opportunities and they've never been able to get it done. They're freefalling exactly the way they did last year. I get that a baseball season is filled with ups and downs, but you should never loose 14 of 19 games at any point in the season if you're a serious World Series contender.

[@Lord_Bibulous]

Cashman has to go too or else he'll just hire another Yes Man.

[@joelirag3718]

Boone didn't put this team together. Cashman did. Except for Judge, Cole & Soto everyone must br evaluated. This is 2022 all over again.

[@TheTigerfan99]

With the exception of last year, every year lately the Yankees start off on fire and all the fans and media starts riding them and says "Look. They've got it together," then they free fall like this and everyone acts befuddled like they shouldn't have seen it coming.

[@snerdterguson]

Because that was being 10 games over .500 after 86 games... Not exactly starting out on fire.

[@barbarapaparella1833]

[@vernpascal1531]

The team is a little better than.500 but going nowhere. DJ and Rizzo are washed. Torres and Wells suck. Volpe is average or slightly better than average. Pitch around Judge and Soto and they've had it. Today was an aberration.

[@GH-ru9kk]

Cole comes back and the pitching goes to 💩

[@stevecoleman9352]

Notice how Passan never answered the question. All he said is that the Yankees became the Chicago White Sox. Here's what happened. Stanton got hurt; Volpe stopped hitting; Verdugo stopped hitting; Torres never started hitting; DJ never started hitting, neither catcher can hit; the starters reverted to what they really are; did anyone think Cortes, Stroman and Rodon were world series caliber? And then the bullpen collapsed. Holmes was never a lights out closer. That's what happened.

[@MrMytube60]

[@conbitches]

Passan is usually good at his job but the media is more concerned with building storylines than simply stating the chain of events that point you directly to why they fell apart.

It is a slump though. Verdugo is a career .280s hitter batting .240, Torres has always been one of the best hitters at second base, now he's having an awful year. The only two playing to their normal level or better, are Soto and Judge.

[@ZSleepingDragonZ]

The Yankees are just coming back down to earth, nobody expected them to go 50-22 by June 14th before the season began.

[@jamesmichael5475]

I posted it at the time of the signing, Stroman would give up a ton of Home-runs at Yankee stadium, because he gives up a lot of fly balls, which tend to go out in this bandbox of a stadium. The problem with the Yankee's roster is that they are way too top heavy in salary and talent. with the remaining roster filled with guys on the steep down-side of their careers in Rizzo, DJ, with Torres also playing horribly offensively and defensively all season, and guys they could sign on the cheap,. Stanton's injury has hurt the Yankees because Cashman insured they had no viable replacement for when Stanton would invariably go on the IL for 6-8 weeks, as he does every season. Claiming an unproven guy in Jason Dominguez, coming off a serious surgery, was your go-to-guy, when athletes coming off Ulnar Collateral Ligament repair surgery often experience setbacks or incur other injuries, was pure stupidity. The Yankees have not had a viable, professional, productive bat off the bench in 3 seasons. No bonafide closer, as Clay Holmes walks too many batters, pitches to contact, gives up way too many home-runs against good offensives, and lacks a strike-out pitch, ditto for every remaining Yankee reliever. This team was winning early in the season, in large part, because the starting pitching, although not going deep into games, was limiting opponents to runs scored, and they were getting excellent offensive production from Volpe, Soto, Judge, and even Stanton was productive and always a threat at the plate, with unexpected production from Cabrerra and Trevino, both of whom have come crashing back to earth. When Soto or Judge do not hit a home-run, this team rarely scores, and they are both slumping a bit not, so bad starting pitching, combined with an entirely ineffective bullpen and minor-league line-up after the number 3 hitter spells doom.

[@williamcalderon9158]

[@conman1495]

The terribly top heavy lineup is finally falling apart and the pitching staff that was looking unbelievable has come back down to earth, even after getting Cole back. Rodon is clearly not what he was before getting that big contract, Stroman has regressed, Gil was pitching way beyond what the advanced metrics were suggesting (which were saying he was still a very good pitcher, but he was the best pitcher in the game through the first two months). For both to happen at the same time is terrible luck but its basically par for the course for the Yankees. They always go through a very bad extended slump, usually in August. Maybe they're just getting it out of their system, but I doubt it cause they would need to fix basically 2/3s of their lineup to do that.

The issue is that following their series loss to the Red Sox in mid June, the Yankees have been falling apart (normally I don’t care about how the Yankees do since I’m a Red Sox fan), usually a team that can dominate early in the season and stay that way would rebound after a series loss and continue leading their division, that hasn’t been the case with the Yankees so far, going into that series with the Red Sox, they were in first, 3.5 games ahead of Baltimore and 14 games ahead of Boston, now going into their game against the Red Sox tonight, they are 2 games behind Baltimore and 5.5 ahead of Boston

Its being called the "Rizzo Curse" since it is about that time when he broke his arm and was unable to play. Not many realize what he means to this team....had he not been a small contract player with limited time, he would have been the captain of this team....that is his value! Most importantly, it is time for Boone to go...he was given this team on a silver platter and can't even control a good lineup.

[@jaysonj9327]

How is this "alarming?" This is as predictable as the run rising in the east. With Cashman as GM there will be holes everywhere on the roster. With Boone as manager the bullpen after a couple of months will be wrecked by overuse and the defensive and lineup flaws will get exploited by opponents. They'll likely make the playoffs regardless -- on the sheer historical talents of Judge and Soto -- but they'll be dead in the water. New season, same story.

[@kingoffedoras9932]

What happened? Well, the pitching regressed to the means. Luis Gil, wasn't gonna be pitching at a CY Young level forever, Rodon looks like the guy he was last season, Stroman is doing his usual thing where he get's worse as the season goes on. Cortes is fine I guess, and Coles working his way back from injury. Offensively, it's still the same old, 1 or 2 man show. You've got 5-7 guaranteed outs in this lineup.

[@louiskuamoo]

As I posted before, what if Soto & Judge go into a slump, who's going to step up? Two people can't keep holding up the team! Comes down to coaching! At least three years this has been happening! Many better players were traded, why? Should trade Cashman & the yanks coaching staff!
