hal should sell the team. he is incompetent.

[@JJ-iu6jp]

Cashman, in my opinion, is reluctant to draw back on terrible contracts, which is why he keeps playing washed-up players. He has also declined to make managerial changes even though it is evident that the team needs them

[@henryhill6637]

You're exactly right. That's why they screwing the younger players unless they have no choice.

[@bxkid16]

Boone and cashman have to go after this season no debating

[@sethterwilliger9434]

they wont though, they should have been gone after last season but Hal thinks they are doing a good job.

[@mitchellhalpern6796]

The Yanks are mentally soft. Not surprising given their management culture of non-accountability and rose-colored glasses. Only way to explain the whole team going into a death spiral at the same time. Every year. You can’t fire the team but you can replace Boone with someone who can create edge and instill some fear.

[@tommcconville677]

[@praisingann4him]

There seems to be an attitude in the clubhouse. It is embarrassing, you are right Joe. I agree that not everyone slumps like this. That is an excuse and ignoring the problems. I remember when the Philly's tanked horrible, they fired the manager. Then they ended up going to the WS. Just a thought.

[@ronpeacock9939]

Boone is proving his lack of worth. He needs to go and if brian don't want to fire him.. he needs to go too.

[@billvw9856]

it's almost a month now. How long is a tough stretch supposed to last? There's a problem with this team. Time to clean house, starting with DJ Legroundout & Boone

[@Almarigold]

Seasons have their ups and downs.. that being said, I don't know what's going on.

[@Yankeeslover9922]

I do believe Boone is a terrible manager, but Cashman has got to put a better roster together. There's no reason we should be putting Jahmai Jones, and JD Davis in the DH and cleanup spot. That's on Cashman

[@brianfleury7964]

PU! Yankees have major problems! I wonder how the anylitic department thinks about this crap show? Judge and soto have good numbers but have stunk in clutch times! Boonie, what the he'll are you thinking pitching to devers?

[@etamommy]

Judge has been crappy in key spots - Soto I feel still has been and is clutch!

[@Tony.1974]

They are broken I don’t see how they come out of this run like this gets mangers fired

[@SuperPhunThyme100]

There was so much fire and hope with this team at the start of the season....no clue what happened.

[@MrJoeinz]

In my observation . . . Ever since they have depended upon Grisham (.126) to be your starting CF, the doldrums became permanent. Not that they weren't spotty before that . . . but the consistent losing became permanent when the defensively strong, offensively inept, Grisham was asked to step up.

[@etchedinstone7562]

The Yankees' rebuild was basically a failure. They could have broken up the team after 2010 and the results would have been no worse in terms of winning a championship. Now almost 15 years later, they find themselves face down in the mud and humiliated all the more for having tried so pitifully hard.

[@GodDogofVice]

Same thing that happened last year, their lineup lacks the depth to string hits together and produce runs consistently. The Yankees need to bring in at least 2 bats, if they want to complete in the playoffs. The best options for this are probably Guerrero Jr and Ketel Marte.

[@NosebleedSection405]

they are beyond rough stretch. Have won 6 games since June 13

[@BobHandsOffArian]

your right need to wory

[@TheTom2video]

The Yankees lead the league in hitting into double plays. That kills an opportunity to score runs. I’ve seen it so many times when they load bases with no outs, they come up empty handed. Occasionally they might score one run. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. They need to fix that issue. I’ve seen opposing teams score on those opportunities against the Yankees. That sucks big time. There’s no end to this at all. THIS HAS TO STOP !!!! Maybe trying to pull a squeeze play would produce some runs. I’m so frustrated! I know I’m not the only one !!

[@etamommy]

Also lame is their penchant for the running on contact play with a guy on third and less than 2 outs. They get thrown out at the plate every freakin’ time! What an idiotic play and yet they continue to try to score when it is usually a ground out to an infielder, so their potential run gets erased very quickly and man is that ever a morale killer.

[@TheTom2video]

@@etamommy I also agree on what you said about a guy at third with even no outs. Why don’t they try a squeeze play instead of trying to hit the ball to the outfield. Ground balls to the infield is a run killer.

[@michaelpetrocelli8808]

Hello Joe. None of this surprises me. The Yankees have been doing this for years. We need younger controllable guys who have no injuries and stay healthy.

[@JohnCiaschini]

Fire Boone. I would love to see somebody like Paul O'Neill as the next manager of the Yankees. He has a temper and came from a winning culture. He is the kind of guy to light a fire under this team. He wouldn't put up with somebody not hustling on the base path. We need a change. Paul O'Neill as the next Yankees Manager. What do you think? The team is not responding to Boone.

[@jbrianb4618]

No stolen bases in the last 20 games , no production from 4-9 hitters . Boone needs to change his managerial philosophy and demand more energy . The Yankees are a slow non athletic team that can’t win without a homerun

[@LOCOSCLAN718]

That's always been said. I'm with you.

[@timakers6896]

Everyone got the pitchforks out calling for Boone and Cashman to be fired. That fixes nothing. The pitching staff has been horrid. That is the cause of almost every loss in the past month. They were all hot at the start of the season, which was cool and all, but they all cool off. You dont want that happening to all of them at once, which is exactly what has happened. Yes, a bunch of bats have cooled off too, but when the pitching gives up 5-10 runs every game, it puts too much pressure on hitters to make something happen. They start swinging at pitches out of the zone, just trying to make contact. Most of which result in pop flys and double play grounders. Fix the pitching issues, this problem goes away.

[@SavetheRepublic]

This is the same thing that happened last season. The only difference is it happened after the All Star game. Unfortunately I think the lack of any concern by the manager has kind of set the tone. As for Torres they need to move him since he's a free agent, same with Holmes. I mean holding on and letting them walk would be stupid but this organization under Hal seems to like stupid moves

[@GaryFake-l2z]

Hal sure is not his dad George steinbrenner would have fired people already and would be putting players people that want to play on the field

[@cathiwim]

We were doing so well! It hurts to watch this!

[@davidday8417]

This channel showed up on suggested channels I’m a giant Baltimore Orioles fan but I’m also a fan of the game and have been since 1965 the Yankees have always had guys I liked Mickey,Babe,Rodgers,Yogi,Jeter,Craig,Munson,Jackson,Randolph,Paul also Mariano undoubtedly the greatest closer ever to play the game let’s not forget Bucky freaking Dent !! My Orioles have turned it around playing ball with every single team it’s all because of the youth movement and the hunger for big salaries like Judge and Soto receive along Ohtani !! I know it’s hard to watch your team struggle especially when you’re use to winning baseball !! My O’s have not been in the World Series since 1983 that’s 41 years our owner was about making money not about seriously winning a title but now we he an owner who is an Orioles fan first and an owner next !! He has said he wants the World Series trophy back to Baltimore and will do every possible to make it happen !! The fans are engaged again and excited about what the future holds !! I believe that Aaron Judge needs to hold a players only closed door meeting because when you have egos getting in the way of playing the game it causes friction between players !!

[@RB-jo8od]

How are you gonna play one game come out hitting like the way they did in the second game with Boston and then come out the next game and can’t even hit. What the heck is that coach you gotta go

[@charlesrestivo4730]

Judge needs to have a players only meeting and start pointing fingers

[@christiancastillo1875]

The lack of effort on this homestand was very telling. Its time for a new voice to lead these guys in the dugout.Boone lost that dugout. Firing boone n calling up vivas are the most logical steps rn.

[@alberthoku]

Ryan McMahon and Jazz Chisholm Jr. are both career .240's hitters. The Yankees need high average, high contact, low strikeout, plate disciplined, pitch recognizing bats.

[@ronrinaldi1789]

[@Yanks4life99]

I am worried now. We need offense. The Yankees either have the offense going and have bad pitching or have good pitching and bad offense

[@courtneypaul4167]

There is so much talent on this team that isn't realized. People are blaming management because, for some reason, guys who are proven good players are mysteriously not performing. I remember feeling the same in 2022. It makes you ask what in hell is going on inside of this organization. How is it possible to crash and burn so badly again? And why do they always wait till the last minute at the trade deadline to improve. They hang onto players until they have no value. It's just so frustrating and disappointing to watch them go from so good to so bad. My blood type has always been and will always be NYY. I really hope they can figure out what they're missing or doing wrong internally and fix it. And for heaven's sake, get a real closer!

[@easy56wedge]

I hope, if Boone gets fired, the next manager is Brad Ausmus. He has more baseball intelligence in a little finger than Boone will ever have. As for Cashman, he’s done enough to this team. Time to begin a new chapter.

[@pabblo101]

George's biggest mistake was leaving Cashman in his position before he passed, now we're all suffering cause of it

[@douglasrau5094]

Go get Jazz Chisholm, put him at second base and lead him off and put Ben Rice behind Aaron Judge in the lineup. It's a start.

[@guylasorsa6888]

No one can tell me that the team's not talented enough to do better than 6- 16. We could have did better and it comes down on leadership. there is not much fundamentals sloppy play comes down to coaching. Since 1920 no team has done what Boone's team has done the last 3 years and that's three consecutive 5 -15 stretches.

[@robertmather7334]

Everything you said in this is so true ❤.

It's like they all forgot how to play baseball... Last year, the slide started shortly after Judge injured his foot at Cholo Ravine. From the best record in baseball to being compared to the White Sox now.

[@joelmoss614]

The Yankees have become a major disaster and I don’t see it improving with this current roster I wish firing Boone and Cashman was the answer but how many times did George S do this without any improvement to the team

[@w1ntertide]

They need to make a trade and start moving people around. Sign some pitching and get a bat for the lineup

[@PaulGordon-t6s]

Cashman should have been fired 12 years ago. Their front office, their analytics department, the scouting department, player development and every other part of this organization is pathetic!!! There is no answer and this team is not making the playoffs! I’ve been saying it from the beginning of the season they were beating bad teams. The bullpen was bad from the start!

[@LOCOSCLAN718]

I wouldn't go that far but I agree a bit

this is a pattern folks. '21and '22 and now '24 hopefully we bounce back. Steinbrenner's already signaled an off season fire sale.

[@mannytapia9574]

Peraza deserves to be brought up. Only because he’s not hitting in the Minors doesn’t mean he won’t do good. They owe him that chance.

[@unmarriedguy37]

I don’t believe a trade is going to make a big impact we are seeing the Yankees of 2022 started hot and ended disastrous

[@michaeljohnston193]

We have hit a 5-15 stretch for 3 years in a row now! That is inexcusable and it is a sign of bad management. Boone should be gone along with some players. Plus unfortunately this team will not right the ship. We will probably miss the playoff or if we do make it. It is because we limped in!

[@giamb26]

Can you imagine Billy Martin putting up with this lackadaisical play? He pulled a HOF out of a game for loafing on a fly ball. Reggie Jackson. And what happened that season? Yankees won the World Series and Reggie hit 3 home runs in Game 6. I wish Boone would get mad at his players as he does the umpires because this team needs a 🔥 lit under their you know what’s. BTW, Girardi never had losing streaks like this. Under Boone, they always look unstoppable in the beginning of the season and then they fall apart. Haven’t we seen enough? Stick Michael, Bob Watson, and Buck Showalter built those great Yankee teams of the 90s. Not Brian Cashman. I feel Buck has some unfinished business with the Yankees. Enough with the Boone excuses. He should have been gone 2 years ago when Houston swept them in the playoffs.

[@percussioncrazyful]

Before we were yelling against Stanton, now we see how needed he is even in a slump. Let's support the guys instead of crying for getting rid of them.

[@TheShift2]

@@TheShift2 I did not mean it was you, but that's what most of the fans do.

[@FoolKiller5150]

Early on players were smiling and having a good ole time when they were winning but as soon as it got tough, the players have folded. Boone is a issue no doubt as it seems this is a issue every year but the players are the reason for the slide. These are professionals but they are soft with no fight in them. No one but Judge, Soto and Cole have stepped up. Went from needing a couple of pieces at the trade deadline to once again too many holes to fill in OF,3rd, 2nd, C, Bullpen and Starting rotation. I hope that I am wrong but I feel this is not a championship caliber team....

[@guylasorsa6888]

For those people who don't think we need Stanton. they're dead wrong. We do need them. He was productive for her this year and provided protection. Ramirez is starting to hit in AAA. If Stanton's going to be out more time, why is this guy not being the DH. Let's see what they do. Yankees are too smart. They think for everyone we're all wrong.

[@santorico123]

Doesn't matter who we get. Our culture sucks. As much as we don't wanna face it, it starts w the manager. He holds no one accountable & it's a trickle down effect. I wouldn't blame soto if he jumps ship to avoid being part of such a horrible culture. No one is afraid of the Yankees anymore. Those days are gone!!!

[@clemersmonroe5183]

If any other team was collapsing like this for the third year they would fire Boone halfway through the year.

[@tfrench4366]

Cashman gets unlimited resources every year. Boone gets the keys to a BMW every year. They both proceed to run it into the ground. This team is a reflection of the two of them. Bad Baseball. Bad decisions. Bad base running. The laissez faire attitude is running a mock. Its a free fall. Someone has to stop the bleeding. The answer is not throwing more money at it. Until management is replaced its going to continue to happen.

I love it . Keep it up Yankees!

[@mylesdambly5154]

[@Dempsey222]

Yankees need to fire Boone. He is not a good leader. In 2022 they were the best team in baseball the first half of the season then one of the worst. Now in 2024 same thing happened. Yankees should hire Buck Showalter.

[@OldSchoolBaseballGuy]

Joe, I said in spring training that this team, as it sits, is nothing more than a third place team. Without wholesale changes, that's what they are. Cabrera, Wells, Rice and Peraza have to play everyday. Move Vople to second where he belongs and put Peraza at short...Cabrera at third, until they find a true third baseman... LeGroundout is done! Sit him and cut him after the season...time for major changes...get Cashman out of here and let him take the idiots in the analytics department with him...Verdugo is a knucklehead let him go next year too...Boone has proven for years now that he's not an MLB manager...this team doesn't respect him or fear him, they lack discipline, hustle and heart...third place.

[@marcosc7375]

If they are hesitant with trades you can go internal get bring up vivas. Also bring up Agustin Ramirez to DH instead of jd jones. And in the mean time use Cabrera at third but you have an upgrade at second and DH. What could go wrong. Let’s just see Please.

[@OldSchoolBaseballGuy]

Bring up Jorbit to play second and put Ozzie at third...this team is light years away from the upper echelon teams...the early part of the schedule was filled with the dregs of the league and they feasted...now, they've been exposed as poseurs

[@guylasorsa6888]

We obviously need one or two infielders and hopefully a third baseman. vivas is playing some third base but he's so much better at second. I think it would take a lot to get McMahon. I don't see the Yankees getting him. dj has three extra bass hits this year. No power as you said. No speed. That slow roller was hit 67 mph. He couldn't beat it out, not even close.

[@guylasorsa6888]

You're right about peraza's power. But he is starting to hit. He's actually six for his last 21 At bats. I would let Orlando bet against the righties and let DJ bet against the lefties at worse until we find a replacement. Rodan, as far as he goes, if he doesn't pitch well, we are screwed anyway no matter what we do. here's a few stats on him. Since June 1st no home runs. batting 178. yep 178. get this one. he just doesn't like to walk since June 1st. four walks. we'll have to accept that. he's not the player that we really wanted. Can he be a really good pic? yes. Let's hope he levels out and gets back to being a productive player.

[@snuffyballparks6501]

This all due to crappy roster constrction. Nothing will be done.

[@EagleS197]

Here's an idea. Get rid of Cashman and Boone, put the players names on the back of their uniforms, allow them trimmed beards and trimmed long hair and let them feel like a team and like the rest of MLB Baseball instead of a group of nerd robots being led by a computer and an Ipad. Maybe they will be proud of their individuality and their family name because the NY Yankee Name has been soiled by losing and mediocrity and the pride is slipping away from the new generation of fans..

[@BronxPhantom]

I don't know what a trade would do. Unless you're trading away the whole team, it doesn't matter. The whole team has been stinking and even though the pitching has been bad, they have at least been bouncing back. Our bullpen is shit. I just don't know what one or even 2 trades can do.

Theres something missing from the team. I dont know what it is. Maybe clutch. Theyve got so many great players. Its almost like someone else is deciding if they win or lose. Or if some players are being bought. Giancarlo is huge. They need him. Maybe theyre relying on the great players to win it all and when they dont they lose. And Cabrera should be there every dsy

After this series it amazes me how oblivious you guys are 😂 it's pretty obvious what the problem is, nobody is going to convince me that the Sox have more talent than us thats just not possible even with the injuries!!! the problem is clear as day, the sox are playing HARD for Cora but the Yankees for Boone? nope you can see it bruh and if you don't then you must be blind. This series proved it without a shadow of a doubt what's the issue, Boone said once again "it's right infront of us" like bruh come on 🤣
