As egregious as that was, they still technically got out of it.
This is all on Torres.

It doesnt get to that point if he keeps German in. He gave up ONE HIT and this fukking clown takes him out as if hes saving the bullpen.
Its all star week. fukk Boone

Yeah, he saw Suzuki and panicked because he hit a HR previously.
Boone overreacted but Gleyber deserves all the venom for that.

Lawson supposedly out as hitting coach. First coach to be fired midseason by the team since 1991. Not gonna fix this team’s issue of almost no major league caliber talent, but he was clearly not helping the team.

Nice try Hal what a joke.
This is a Hal/Cashman/Boone problem.

Lawson was terrible. He should've been fired weeks ago
But getting rid of the Hitting coach and scapegoating him isn't going to make Hal care about winning, Cashman be good at constructing rosters, and Boone becoming a good manager
The Yankees are not a serious organization and they've somehow become the biggest joke in NY sports

Someone I know who’s a Knicks and jets fan got real mad when I said the same thing last year over their refusal to address their obvious issues. Say what you will about the last 15 years for the jets besides 2009 & 2010, but at least they try to be good and will get rid of a bad GM after a few straight years of ineptitude. Same with the Knicks, Mets, Nets, Rangers, Giants, & Islanders.
It isn’t that hard to please us as fans. Just hold people accountable and use the resources at your disposal instead of plugging your ears and telling us that things are fine when they clearly aren’t.
It’s borderline impossible for the Yankees to be 90+ loss type bad with their financial capabilities and the fact that great players want to play in the south Bronx. Legit all Hal has to do is hire a good president & GM and then he’s set. He’d just have to cut the checks and stay out of the way and things would take care of themselves. Not to give his cheap ass any ideas while he’s publicly lobbying for a hard salary cap, but a good GM wouldn’t even need to fully utilize the Yankees financial advantage over other teams to win the east regularly because they’d hire good coaches and be able to draft and develop young talent which comes cheap. Instead he’s got a team that for the past 20 years has just 2 division titles in the past 11 seasons (counting this year) & has by far gotten the worst dollars to wins ratio in the sport because every year they’re committing somewhere between 20-33% of their payroll on guys who are giving them nothing every year in large part because Aaron Judge is the only prospect to work out for them since Robinson Cano, who is the only other Yankees prospect since 2000 to pan out at all.
Look at even the last year they were good and fun to watch (2019). On top of no Stanton (paid $26 million) due to injury, they got nothing out of Ellsbury (don’t forget he was still collecting checks from the team), CC, Happ, & Hicks. I think Ellsbury was making some $25 million a year and the other 3 were being paid a combined $35 million. That’s $60 million they essentially lit on fire that year and nobody thought for a minute any of those deals were good use of that money. Ottavino & Britton were good during the regular season that year, but $22 million on a pair of relievers? Chapman had a damn good year too (I’m not blaming him for the homer either since it’s on record that Houston knew what pitches other teams were throwing), but that’s another example of wasteful spending. Nobody else was spending $17 million on a closer. Betances was paid a little over $7 million. Between just 4 relievers that’s $46 million.
Look at last year too. $10 million on hicks, $10 million on Gallo, $25 million on Donaldson, $6 million on IKF, $17 million on Chapman. Off the top of my head that’s $68 million last year they spent on guys who were net negatives on the team from the start. $68 million spent on guys who if you just didn’t have them on the roster the team would’ve been better by default.
It’s also worth noting that 2019 is probably the least offensive year since the Jeter/A-Rod core aged out in regards to how poorly the money was spent on payroll and they still did a horrid job of properly allocating payroll.

Yankees select SS George Lombard Jr. with No. 26 pick in 2023 MLB Draft
The New York Yankees have selected shortstop George Lombard Jr. with the No. 26 pick in the 2023 MLB Draft.
The Yankees have selected shortstop George Lombard Jr. with the No. 26 pick in the 2023 MLB Draft.
The 18-year-old from Pinecrest, Florida is committed to playing at the University of Vanderbilt but many expect him to sign and begin his pro career.
Lombard comes to the Bronx with some big-league bloodlines as he is the son of current Detroit Tigers hitting coach and former MLB outfielder George Lombard.
The youngster was rated as MLB Pipeline's 31st overall prospect heading into the draft. Standing at 6-foot-3, 190-pounds he posses a ton of raw pop and has the potential to be an above-average bat from the right side of the plate.
During his senior year at Gulliver Prep High School, Lombard hit .512 with six home runs, 14 doubles, and 24 RBI. He was also a state champion in soccer and was named the Miami-Dade Athlete of the Year.
