Aaron Boone to be new Yankees manager

[Mattingly23NY]

...and oh, here's the Rosenthal Q & A session;

https://theathletic.com/142232/2017...the-yankees-and-whether-he-will-manage-again/

^^^^ great insightful interview into Joe's world, head and heart.

Love his mention of catching the greatest Pitcher, ie Mo'; who was never off target less an inch or 2 at the most, if he ever rarely was off target at all...

and gotta' admire a Family Man in this sport, hat's off to this:

" When I was with the Cubs I had the opportunity to play with Andre Dawson, Rick Sutcliffe, Ryne Sandberg, and two fine catchers, Damon Berryhill, and Joe Girardi.

Extracted from Greg Maddux Hall of Fame acceptance speech.

Ok, now that I've thrown a fit, I'll buy into Kay's comment: "If your going to gamble on a Yanx Skipper, then gamble with a guy like Aaron Boone"....

- done -

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Fuck Kay, backstabber, what are his qualifications to be in on a manager selectee. Now the Sports Press sees Cashman as a GM with talent at picking out ball player. Longtime Yankee Fans will to a person state that one World Championship since 2000 ain't worth a shit in the Yankees tradition. Going to be interesting to see what moves are made during the trade meetings.

... aside from having no experience, Boone does have his strong points. I guess only time will tell.

Yanks have enough talent everywhere and with another year of experience for the young guys and the incoming talent from below and probably ohtani added this will be a tough team to fuck up.

yep, we're on the same page. I realize it's not going to do me anymore good to be pissed off about Joe's departure, tho' I'll never be happy with it.

I wish Boone the best, the Team better. Hope he's not another Ausumusass.

Hope he keeps Dad out of the dugout. Loved Bob Boone's catching prowess, but his managerial skills flat out sucked, ie bob's....

Never can I forget Rickey Henderson stating in SI: the one catcher I did not like to steal on, was the same guy who too often threw me out leading off at first base, and seems like he threw me out stealing more than any other Catcher...

Just saying......................................Boone is very passive.

hope to hell he doesn't do his Brad Ausumus or Craig Counsell impression as skipper, the latter two imo, have no clue as Mgr's....

Our "Manager" Boone is cursing people out on Twitter about The Football Games not good...keep your mouth shut please.

Be careful lil, there are a lot of fake Twitter accounts out there.

From what I see, he did not such thing.

I'm pretty sure it's him........ We will find out eventually.

Totes not kidding, for every legitimate person with a Twitter account, there's half a dozen posing as that person!! Less our illustrious POTUS of course...

Come on Rob you know he can't stay off of social media.

...^^^ but at least Torre had a good bit of prior managerial experience before he was given the keys to a Cadillac as manager of the Yanx... Neither the Mets, Cardinals, nor Braves teams had the talent level that the Yankees teams had.

...Boone is a nice guy and a decent commentator but IMO, hiring him as the next manager who comes equipped with "training wheels" is the wrong way to go...hope I'm wrong.

At least they did not consider Ron Darling !

 

[yankeesince59]

...I'm not a big "tweeter" but from what I can tell, the real Boone on twitter isn't cussing folks.

 

[Lillie]

Just posting what I see....whether it's a fake account or not.

 

[Lillie]

Yeah it's fake........why Idiots would do that is beyond me.

 

[totus44]

There are trolls everywhere....

FAKE NEWS !!!!>>>>FAKE NEWS !!!>>>FAKE NEWS !!! ...just kidding, Lil.

...but on the subject of fake news, my favorite "weasel words" of 2017 has gotta be "alternative facts".
