BOOM ...

Aaron Boone could be available after this season...

He should have been for at least 5 years

I think that’s a certainty if the Blue Jays win the division. I’m actually shocked he has made it this long. I thought they would have gone after a better option a few years ago.

You will get either Walt Weiss or Skip Schumacher and like it...

I assumed Weiss would be a candidate

Devers is playing 1B for the Giants tonight after all the fits he has thrown

Boone is better than about 80%* of other MLB managers. That's just not good enough for THE Yankees.

*he actually has the 2nd highest winning % of active coaches

**and is 15th all-time % wise currently

I’d take him over Snit.
Snit is a good bench coach, just not sure about his managerial skills.

Yeah after having Joe Torre all those years you would think they would want nothing but the best leading the team.

Best franchise in American sports history. Sorry we have standards.

P.S. We won the "war of Northern Aggression" too .

I would take him over Snit in a heartbeat also.

First time I saw Tyrann Matthieu it was that Underscore guy on Volquest who was at some Tennessee camp filming players and Matthieu was balling out and this dude was fan boying like crazy. No one knew who he was at the time. It was around the time of that camp he started making a name.

At least Girardi won a WS. I'm sure my posts say otherwise during his time, but the grass isn't always greener.

Celtics are like 8 or 9 behind. As a Packers owner, I am proud to say that we are 3rd*.

*But 1st in the NFL

All records aren’t created equally for MLB managers. Boone may have the 2nd best record amongst active coaches but he is doing it for a franchise with some of the deepest pockets in the sport. It is much more impressive whenever teams like the Royals, Brewers, and Rays are winning division titles.

Yankees haven't been the same since George died. And funny enough, during the "dynasty run" in the late 90's, they were mostly home grown players.

You watching the Yanks and Jays?
4-2 Yankees
B5

I mean he did have Jeter and A-Rod. Hard not to win whenever you have guys like that. Even so, that Phillies team was stacked and anyone that can beat a team like that for the World Series is a good coach imo.

I am*. It would be nice to actually win 1 game against them this year.

*I pay for MLB TV

I can somewhat agree with this, but there has to be an added pressure to managing a franchise like the Yankees.

I hated them at the time, but I’ve come to respect those Yankee squads and what they accomplished.

My boy wanted to watch this one, I wanted to watch the Braves or Mets but gave in.
There’ll probably be a time, soon, that he won’t care about watching baseball with ol’dad, so I pick and chose my battles wisely.
