Wow. I was just about to put the game on and saw the score on my phone. 4-0 TB in the 1st inning. Monty crushed. Yankees stink again I think I'll wait a month. Tampa just has their number this year. IMO, they need to stop throwing Hicks, Gardner, and Sanchez out there. They are virtually 3 automatic outs. Gardner is hitting .173, Hicks is hitting. 213, and Sanchez is hitting .135. We don't have time to wait for them to stop struggling at the plate. Right now, they would be scheduled to play the White Sox if the playoffs started today. I would pick the White Sox quickly in that series.

So frustrating when they bring the tying run to the plate in the 9th, then lose.

Maybe you should go try out. I am sure that you could get on base more than they do at this point.

When do we start to question boone? Questioning his decision making is more than fair. I could not do anything but laugh the other day when he tried to act like Wilson Ramos was Mike Trout.

When do we start to question boone? he certainly hasn't been perfect this year, but with the injuries to key guys, I'll cut him some slack, at least for now!!!

Team is trash this year. Too much money tied up in this supposedly elite bullpen. So much hope in 2017 with the kids, shine is off them now. Judge can't stay healthy and Sanchez cant hit.

Anyone can field a competitive team when you have one of the best rosters in baseball ...imo it's much more straightforward in baseball because it's less dependent on chemistry and team work than football or basketball. But what about when you have some guys out, and others underperforming? That's when a manager should show his added value.

I was watching a life stream on facebook of the game and stopped watching after that. They are now 21-20 and in the 8th spot. Despite all of the injuries, Boone should have this team playing better than this. They had a ton of injuries last year and still won 100 games. He was praised then and deserves a ton of criticism now.

I certainly agree with this - and will add the allure of NY, the Yankees history, and the money allotted for contracts... it seems to be an easy gig for the GM, and perhaps can be a hot seat for the Manager once expectations aren't met.

Hicks botched attempt to steal 3rd seems like a sign of a desparate team.

The problem with that line of thinking is not acknowledging the guys who are doing well. Rays manager and players for example are dialed in, and stepped up and stuck it to the Yankees.

Luke Voit said it right: No one really respects or fears the Yankees anymore. Teams are coming at them, having their way with them, and are mocking them. Meanwhile, Boone and his analytic guys don't have any rebuttals whatsoever. The Analyst is right about it being an odd year. However, this team was billed as a WS contender and it is more than fair to criticize the team when they are nowhere near living up to expectations.

They arent living up to the expectations. They arent playing well. This was the issue with the short season. If they catch a cold early, there isnt enough time to recover. They just have to get in. I dont see this as a team that can win it all though. Once again the pitchers are struggling.
