This is not on Boone. If Weaver closes, the entire pen is compromised and Williams might as well be off the team. They have to try to get him right. If it only takes a month for a top 2 closer to lose it completely (Clase fukking up too), then what are we gonna do when weaver struggles?fukk Aaron Boone
This idiot cares more about not hurting players feelings than winning. No excuse for Williams bum ass to still be the closer over Weaver.

He was supposed to be one of the best closers in the game so you can’t bail on him after 1-2 weeks, but it’s over a month now and he’s only getting worse. He came into this game with a 2.33 WHIP and allowed 3 more baserunners and 3 more runs without getting an out. His ERA is north of 11 now. You can’t justify putting the guy into anything beyond mop up duty in the 9th where it’s at least a 7-8 run margin at this point. He can’t find the zone, can’t miss anyone’s bats, and looks broken mentally. You can’t keep this guy as the closer any more than you could’ve kept Chapman as the closer by mid 2022. If he quits on the team as a result or that means the end of his tenure here, then good riddance. Right now he’s the single worst pitcher in baseball. You can’t trust him to close games going forward.This is not on Boone. If Weaver closes, the entire pen is compromised and Williams might as well be off the team. They have to try to get him right.

He needs 2 weeks in Tampa away from everybody right now.
