Michael Kay Rants on Aaron Boone & Yankees Benching Aaron Judge | The Michael Kay Show 7/31/23

[@jackharrist8180]

Thank You Michael for finally recognizing that Aaron Boone treats the fans like 5 year olds

[@skankytrick]

Absolutely he does. Fucking pathetic.

[@akeen176]

Who gives a shit. Cashman and hal treat the fans like mouth breathing morons. Cashman is a way bigger issue than Boone. Cashman needs to go

[@David..]

Michael is doing his 2 weeks of being honest before he goes back to licking Brian Cashman and Hal Steinbrenner’s balls.

[@maxdubs222]

Hal and cashman do too they think we’re all stupid

[@skankytrick]

@@maxdubs222 Are they wrong?

[@nypinstripes2388]

“Other than that Mrs Lincoln, how was the show?”…I never heard that one before, that’s pretty good.

[@dpdip]

Giancarlo Stanton is getting paid $300,000,000 over the course of his contract to occasionally run into a pitch and hit a home run. He can't field and he can't run. Remember when people were saying A-Rod, a perennial MVP contender, was overpaid?This Yankee team is a disaster and would kill for an A-Rod.

[@santorico123]

I agree 💯

[@kermitfrog593]

Already had someone willing to 'unload on team,' his name was Girardi and he was run out of town. Eat it.

[@garycarfagno7910]

Can you imagine the championship Yankees of the Billy Martin days telling Thurman Munson that he can not play against the division leader or Jeter????? Judge is making a king's ransom and he can play DH. This team is a joke. Analytics and science is ruining this team.

[@seanferguson1670]

I respect Don more and more each day....the voice of reason

[@skankytrick]

🤔 ...Anyway, best not to even mention Peter, I agree.

[@jeffreytappis2893]

Why do football coaches say after the game we looked terrible we were bad in all aspects we did nothing good. What’s wrong with that

[@DontMatta-s5h]

Thank you for not having that Starr Insurance bullshit. Nothing heats me as much as them ruining an iconic jersey with greed, while the team plays like shit.

[@paullywally8164]

Resting him on Sunday night baseball and before trade deadline makes no sense. The whole organization is a joke. All worried about money….

[@MrSpacebird413]

This discussion is also tone deaf. Blaming everyone except cashman. Cashman needs to go

[@MrNaturalSez]

Cashman's extended through 2026--what else ya got?

[@illuz1oN44]

Players need to perform plain and simple, it don't matter if we have cash or not if players don't perform then is it still the GM's fault?

[@chrisheffernan7540]

As long as everyone continues to support this team nothing will change.

[@chrisheffernan7540]

@@snerdterguson Keep doing what you are doing then because you are not changing mine. The majority of us are really pissed off how this season has gone. You are obviously okay with garbage. I'm not.

[@chefcook6076]

Going back as a fan and attendee to the stadium since the 70s I totally agree with you guys cooperating one of the reasons why the swamp is like a disease is that everybody that's the same and swings the same nobody has any of their own finesse or Style

[@SCARYFALCON2]

Tampa Bay just traded for Aaron Civale, and the Yankees are sitting there sleeping 😴.

[@JJDSports2012]

There are no five players NY could acquire that will turn this team around.

[@ericpantalone5229]

Aaron Civale is having a good stretch but he's a mediocre 3.77 career era guy... Who cares. Doesn't move the needle. He's pitched 100 innings once in his career...

[@MatiasMorales69]

PREACH. This is a fucking dumpster fire. Boone and Cashman need to go. I refuse to watch any games, go to games unless people and the front office are held accountable. This shit is disgraceful.

[@jrzygurl]

Finally Michael tells the truth.. he tells what we have all been witnessing ...Boones absolute incompetence

[@mrbee15]

Honestly, I can’t watch this team anymore. Growing up with Torre Yankees has ruined me.

[@MarshallHendrix-nx2gg]

YANKEES FANS LIKE RATS LEAVING A SINKING SHIP WHEN THEY MISS THE PLAYOFFS ONCE LOOOOOL. WORST FANS IN BASEBALL!!!!

[@hi12397]

Thank you for the uploads 👍

[@wiltongeorge8524]

This needs to be the year Brian Cashman and or Aaron Boone needs to get fired

[@gilbertmartinezjr.9010]

He needs to put the Aaron judge on that on that note fire Aaron Boone fire general manager Brian Cashman and do it now God dammit!

[@Mr.Scully]

Welcome to the party guys

[@cjprice1700]

Kay logic: Yanx do well = Cashman When the Yanx don't do well = everyone else but Cashman

[@jrzygurl]

I am really starting to believe that not only does the owner manager and general manager not give a shit I don't think the players care either.. they're making all this money regardless.... I think the entire Yankee organization and the players are laughing at us fans

[@kermitfrog593]

Don's right. Judge should have flexed.

[@franksanchez45]

Getting in the playoffs on a wildcard is like getting a participation trophy in the park and rec league

In a league where whoever spends the most money wins, the Yankees spend their way in to SUCKING LOOOL

[@MikeyScott90210]

Holy cow. Kay actually spitting the truth to start

[@denniskinzler5890]

This is what analytics will do for you…….launch angle over batting average? 😐

[@vincentridon1526]

Let’s look at it this way they still can’t beat teams from the AL East I’m sorry they’re 14-19 presently! They’ve beaten the White Sox, they’ve beaten the Guardians, they’ve beaten the Royals, and they’ve beaten the Athletics they’ve beaten decent teams sure but when it comes to teams from the AL East, they can’t do it’s hard to explain why I don’t know what the solution is because there’s so much fixing to do between now and tomorrow that’s not for me to look into but I will say this something needs to change!

[@carter316]

There is no fixing this mess... gonna be along 4 years

[@gilbertmartinezjr.9010]

Another thing analytics department just like the medical Yankee trainers god dammit!

[@thomasvinelli]

I’m sure Boone is a nice guy just a horrible manager. Until this front office grows a pair the Yankees will continue to lose.

[@gilbertmartinezjr.9010]

It was no other Nikki manager that don't take that kind of s***Billy Martin Joe Torre dammit!

[@Teddy42O]

Aaron Boonehead 😂😂

[@Yo-wd6ch]

Stop filling 🥧 the stadium,they don't care,why should we?

[@EagleS197]

Boone was a cool dude when he played. He became the typical corporate butt kisser. I can not explain why he does what he does but I can tell you it is not his team, he just carries out the orders and NEVER DARES to question why. SO,,,the result is him looking like what hear after every game. His nonsense never ends and you can see and hear him think before saying every word. Thus all the UMMMS, and stuttering.

[@ZaKRo-bx7lp]

Me when I see Aaron Boone walking past me: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

[@cesard.almodovar4744]

Fire Cashman AND Boone now

[@johnsantello8515]

The only thing that matters to the Yankees is the bottom line. Until the bottom line is affected negatively over time, nothing will change. That's also on the fans. Stop buying streaming services, YES network subscriptions and Merch! Stop buying season tickets and #20.00 beers and hotdogs!

[@ScarletKnight-mq5cz]

Oh shut up Michael. Dont tell us who we should be mad at. Everytime we criticize anyone (Boone, Hicks, Hal, etc) you say they are a good guy and we are being unreasonable.

[@mistersunshine1330]

He's saying blame Cashman

Man I miss the Boss Mr George Steinbrenner… this stuff wouldn’t even be happening

German & Rizzo are out?....? "Booney,they've been out for... why TF am I telling you this? You were THERE FFS! WTF?" Boone (staring off in the distance, eyes glazed.) ..... "Booney?" ....(crickets).

Time for a new deal. Let's throw in the cards. This team is barely average from top to bottom.

[@wittggestein]

Forget 2023, 2024 and probably 2025, Yankees are for a total and complete overhaul.

[@WellnessCoachGuru]

Hal, Cashman and analytics will keep Yankees away from title till they all last.... They are he root causes to this rut and remove them them we can see us thinking yes thinking of winning a championship. Boone will get fired but Cashman will stay and do the same things , he has to go and Hal sell the team.

[@jamesmichael5475]

I am a Sports Scientist/Exercise Physiologist, in the process of completely my 3rd doctoral degree in Biomechanics. There is no research indicating a player requires rest after two days of play following 6 weeks on the IL, none. Baltimore is not artificial turf that carries with it a greater risk of injury.

[@trybebill7865]

finally someone with credentials who is not a complete snowflake. exactly. you're the captain of the team who just rested 2 months. get out there and play for your team who desperately needs you in the lineup.

[@brianbarrett7508]

[@yosefyahu4778]

That's disgusting

[@thegreatgumbino420]

And that's why you're not a pitcher.

[@akeen176]

He's right though why ever pitch to judge. He is the only guy who can hit. He won't see a strike rest of the season. EDIT: just realized he's promoting injuring judge. Screw that. I'm saying he will be walked way more often than not.

[@chrisweidner4768]

It’s a shame that they kept running Rizzo out after he was concussed. Moreover, what a snakebit team. First the Judgie freak injury and now Rizzo, who was having a wonderful year, has this. “Aaron is smarter than that.” Okaaaaaay. Sports science, analytics. Waste. Mostly white noise. Sure some of it is beneficial. However, not being able to read the room is exactly what is hamstringing baseball. Indeed. Don’t lie to the media. Heck, don’t lie. Period. “You have to rest him at some point.” Really. The guy can’t DH???? All of this is a mess. Welcome to my Cardinals world.

[@hisroyalhighness8566]

You know it's possible the Yankees just suck and the answer is to not force players to play through injuries like an asshole XD

[@santorico123]

@@MarshallHendrix-nx2gg if u know baseball u know that if a player is injured they wouldn't out him to play. Judge didn't look hurt at all. If u were paying attention you would've seen that the 2 days prior he played very well, including a mammoth home run against the O's. Had he been hurt he wouldn't have played the next day, & if there was something wrong they would've said in the injury report. Get facts before writing such nonsensical responses.

Well excuse me the dictation misspelled some words there everybody swings and bats the same and we're supposed to think that this is the highest percentage what baloney nobody has any style to place a ball I'm going to hit a double I'm going to hit it to left field I'm going to head home run they just swinging and figure out where it's going

[@nyfan9215]

Judge is not worth captain material, i remember during his 2nd year , i was watching bsox vs yanks at yankees stadium, it was like 7-1 or 8-2 and he hits a soloshot in the 7th or 8th inning but celebrated like he just hit a grand slam to tie the game. He is not a captain msterial, he has selfish tendencies

[@brianbarrett7508]

Definitely not captain material.

[@RIP_Greedo]

You cite a single event from 5 years ago as proof that he's not captain material now? Judge IS the team. He is the face of the franchise, bested other historical Yankees for the home run title, and is one of the best players in the entire sport. He is the captain.

[@moelarry8088]
