Exasperated Yankees’ Aaron Boone went off in fuming rant about New York’s listless struggles

Boone is fed up with the Yankees’ recent many failures.

Yes, the Yankees are still in first place and a likely prime World Series contender, but it’s been a rough past month in the Bronx. Since July 31, New York is just 4-14 in its last 18 games. Even worse, they’ve lost three straight series to AL East rivals like the Red Sox, Rays, and now Blue Jays — who can complete a four-game sweep of the Yankees on Sunday.

With the New York offense especially continuing to struggle against Toronto (+140) in a 5-2 loss on Saturday, Yankees manager Aaron Boone made it quite clear that he’s very displeased with how his team has played lately. How?

He went off in a fiery post-game rant to a gathered Yankees media contingent:

Phew, Boone certainly didn’t mince his words.

I’m still unsure what part of his speech sticks out most. Is it Boone slamming his hand on the table and raising his voice, saying, “The great thing is, it’s right in front of us! It’s right here,” while showing an “OK” symbol?

Honestly, the most notable part might be Boone picking up a random pen that happened to be in his eye line and turning it into a talking point about how “we [the Yankees] get to write the script the rest of the way.” That might be the best signifier of how you know Boone’s at his wit’s end.

I don’t know what the rest of the season holds in store for the Yankees, but it’s pretty clear Boone is tired of all of their rampant losing lately. Hey, maybe the manager finally letting his frustrations boil over is what sparks a fire under his team through the stretch run.

Aaron Boone lost it on the umpire after Giancarlo Stanton struck out on 3 incorrectly called strikes

Three missed calls in ONE at-bat.

The New York Yankees don’t lose very often, but if there’s one thing that gets the entire team frustrated, it’s bad umpiring. We saw that in Sunday’s game against the Red Sox.

With the Yankees down a run in the seventh inning and Giancarlo Stanton at the plate, the Yankees slugger was called out on strikes despite all three “strikes” missing the zone. As the inning came to close on the called third strike, Stanton stood there in disbelief. And that was when Yankees manager Aaron Boone got in on the action.

The ESPN broadcast showed Boone as he was shouting from the dugout, telling home plate umpire Tripp Gibson that he had just missed six calls.

Boone was almost immediately ejected for arguing balls and strikes, but as you can see, he had reason to be upset.

According to Umpire Scorecards, Gibson missed 15 calls on the night and posted an 82 percent called-strike accuracy. That’s not going to get it done, and no wonder MLB fans understood Boone’s outburst there.

Video shows the NSFW stuff Aaron Boone appeared to say in his ejection after Aaron Judge strike call

This got heated.

Another day, another Aaron Boone ejection video that’s broken down by Jomboy Media to show all the NSFW stuff he said to an umpire.

This time, it came on Wednesday night with the Toronto Blue Jays up 2-1 on Boone’s New York Yankees. Aaron Judge was at the plate and took a strike that appeared to be inside, but Marty Foster called it a strike. The very tall Judge had a pitch called that might have been below his knee in his previous at-bat, and Boone call out Foster.

That got Boone ejected and the face-to-face ended up being pretty heated. Jomboy attempted to read the lips of the parties involved — as many fans were doing on Twitter, noting Boone appeared to be talking about Judge’s height — and here’s the result (WARNING: LOTS AND LOTS OF NSFW LANGUAGE AHEAD):

Everyone: MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT! Too good.

A un hit de alcanzar la marca de los 3,000, Yankees le dio base por bola a Miguel Cabrera

¿Recuerdan aquel momento increíble del 2021 en el Yankee Stadium cuando Derek Jeter bateó su hit número 3,000 en las Grandes Ligas y los lanzó hacia las gradas del centro del campo que se convirtió en uno de los homeruns más icónicos de la historia …

¿Recuerdan aquel momento increíble del 2021 en el Yankee Stadium cuando Derek Jeter bateó su hit número 3,000 en las Grandes Ligas y los lanzó hacia las gradas del centro del campo que se convirtió en uno de los homeruns más icónicos de la historia del equipo?

El club, que a menudo es laureado por su gran clase, se empeñó en asegurarse de que otra superestrella no tuviera oportunidad para tener un momento similar.

Era la octava entrada cuando, frente a un Comerica Park completamente lleno, Miguel Cabrera se dirigió a la caja de bateo intentando conectar su hit número 3,000, pero Aaron Boone, el manager de los Yankees, tomó una decisión que los fans de New York nunca hubieran perdonado si se lo hubieran hecho a ellos: Boone le dio base por bola a Miggy de forma deliberada.

Traducción: #DejenBatearaMiggy

 

El silencio incrédulo en la transmisión de los Tigers lo dijo todo. Fuera de contexto, la decisión es entendible. Primera estaba abierta, llevaban dos outs y cargar las bases hubiera ayudado a que New York saliera de la entrada con un juego de una carrera.

Pero sabiendo el contexto… uff, se vieron muy mal.

Boone estaba intentando hacer su trabajo y ganar un partido, pero los Tigers están atravesando por un año en el que se están reconstruyendo, y este logro de Miggy fue una de las pocas razones por la que los fans se lanzaron al estadio un jueves de abril. Y créanos cuando les decimos que le dejaron muy claro a Boone lo que opinaron de su decisión.

Traducción: Los cantos de “los Yankees apestan” en el Comerica, después de que el IBB a Miguel Cabrera lo dejara sin oportunidad de llegar a los 3,000.

 

Traducción: Tras darle una base por bola de forma intencional, Miggy tranquiliza a los fans.

 

Traducción: En estos momentos, en Detroit hay una orden de arresto para Aaron Boone.

 

Ciertamente hay más reacciones en redes sociales y la gran mayoría no son aptas para escucharse ni leerse en el trabajo.

Veamos, ¿Miggy ya había tenido tres oportunidades al bate el jueves? Por supuesto. ¿Se fue de 3 nada? Sí. ¿Y eso era importante? Por supuesto que no. Y los Yankees debieron haberle lanzado la pelota.

En lugar de eso, optaron por enfrentarse al zurdo Austin Meadows, quien rápidamente hizo que Boone pagara por su decisión.

Traducción: Siri, define “karma”.

 

Boone tiene suerte de que los Tigers tienen otra serie en casa este viernes. Probablemente lo vayan a seguir abucheando toda la vida en Detroit por haber hecho esta jugada el jueves.

Pero bueno, al menos los Tigers ganaron 3-0.

The Yankees intentionally walked Miguel Cabrera one hit shy of 3,000 and MLB fans crushed Aaron Boone for it

Aaron Boone is just lucky the Tigers have another home game on Friday.

Remember that awesome moment at Yankee Stadium in 2011 when Derek Jeter launched his 3,000th Major League hit into the centerfield stands for one of the most iconic home runs in team history?

The ballclub often lauded for its class was intent on making sure another superstar wouldn’t get the chance for a similar moment.

In front of a packed Comerica Park crowd, and with Miguel Cabrera coming up to bat in the eighth inning looking for his 3,000th hit, Yankees manager Aaron Boone pulled the type of move New York fans would never forgive if it happened to them: Boone intentionally walked Miggy.

The incredulous silence on the Tigers’ broadcast says it all.

Without context, the decision is understandable. First was open, there were two outs and loading the bases could help New York get out of the inning in a one-run game.

With context, yikes, that’s a bad look.

Boone is trying to do his job and win a game, but the Tigers are very much in a rebuilding year and Miggy’s milestone was one of the few reasons for fans to get out to the park on a Thursday in April. And you better believe they let Boone know what they thought of his decision.

There are certainly a lot more reactions on social media and the vast majority are not safe for work.

Now, did Miggy already have three chances at the plate on Thursday? Sure. Did he go 0-for-3? Yes. Does that matter here? Absolutely not. And the Yankees should’ve just pitched to him.

Instead, they opted to face lefty Austin Meadows, who promptly made Boone pay for his decision.

Boone is just lucky the Tigers have another series at home beginning on Friday. He might still be booed in Detroit forever after pulling this move on Thursday.

At least the Tigers won, 3-0.

Excellent video shows what Aaron Boone said in his ejection after an atrocious balk call

Boone was fired up.

The Yankees and Royals had themselves a wild one on Monday with New York blowing a lead four times in the seventh inning or later. It still ended in an 8-6 Yankees win, but manager Aaron Boone wasn’t around to see much of that action.

Boone was ejected in the seventh inning after home plate umpire Pat Hoberg called Yankees pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga for a balk — a call that was definitely missed. Loaisiga had already thrown away a pick-off attempt, which let Jarrod Dyson advance to second. Then, when Loaisiga stepped off the rubber, Hoberg immediately called a balk.

Boone understandably lost it. The call was awful. And thanks to another great breakdown video from Jomboy Media, we have an idea of what was said during the tirade. (Warning: NSFW language).

Hoberg seemed to think that Loaisiga was moving towards home plate, but really, he was just stepping off the rubber to re-collect himself. Boone came out to argue the call, returned to the dugout and came out again to get ejected.

The umpire apparently told Boone that he didn’t want to throw him out, which isn’t something that too many umpires admit. But Hoberg did toss Boone because Boone wouldn’t stop.

Dyson would end up scoring after all that to tie the game. The Yankees, though, won in 11 innings.

Hot-mic video captured what was said in heated exchange between Aaron Boone and umpires

All the cursing.

The New York Yankees dropped Monday night’s game to the Orioles in Baltimore, but it’ll be difficult to overlook the somewhat controversial umpiring decision that seemingly turned the game.

Gio Urshela’s bases-loaded hit appeared to have brought the Yankees within a run of tying the game, but the umpires ruled that Aaron Judge — who was caught at third for the final out in the eighth — was tagged before the third run scored. It was a close call, and one that was probably worth taking a look on replay.

But to Yankees manager Aaron Boone’s dismay, he was denied the opportunity to ask for a replay. That was when he went off on the umpires and got ejected. Thankfully, the folks at Jomboy Media were able to use their sound isolation and lip-reading skills to put together a breakdown of what was said. (Warning: Lots of strong language)

Even if Boone absolutely had a point about the umpires giving him no time to check with the staff upstairs, let’s be honest: There was no way MLB replay in its current form was overturning that call on the field. It misses obvious calls. It wasn’t going to change a ruling on a not-obvious-at-all call.

But hey, it was fun to hear all that cursing.

Coaching in New York can be hazardous to your employment

Coaching or managing around the New York Metropolitan are has not lent itself to long runs.

Agents repping coaches in the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan Area might offer their clients some sage advice: Rent, don’t buy. A look at how short the shelf life has been for head coaches in and around the Big Apple.

New York Giants

Big Blue dipped into the assistant coach pool and hired Joe Judge as its head coach for 2020. Prior to this surprise move, Pat Shurmur lasted two seasons going 9-23. Before that, it was Ben McAdoo, who went 2-10 in 2017 and was canned despite going 11-5 in his first season.
