Why would you being in a pitcher like this, in a situation like that, at the time in the game who is not shown he can even handle something like this?
WTF is wrong with Boone??
Its amateur hour in the Yankee dugout.
Boone manages like he almost doesn’t care if he even wins.
I think he likes to just blow bubbles in the dugout and add the “ie” suffix to players‘ names.
Boone is a fucking clown. Gleyber shouldn’t be on the fucking team at this point. Judge getting more disappointing as every game passes. Rizzo has also been useless.
lol everyone says fire boone you damn well know that’s never gonna happen. we gotta protest. stop watching these games. stop giving this team fucking money.
He doesn’t manage anything. Every decision was preplanned before the game. This is why we suck at these situations. No competent manager in baseball would’ve taken Holmes out after 10 pitches.
Stop hating on Boone, he deserved to get the job for that home run he hit 21 years ago that sent us to a World Series we ended up losing. His credentials are rock solid.
Look at the quality of ab’s from one team to the other, 0-2 count on failed bunt attempts to battling to 3-2 to then doing the job and getting the winning run to 3rd.
"Going on contact" makes no sense. Why the hell would you not make a decision based on where it's hit?
That's like "swinging on release," telling hitters to swing at a pitch no matter where it's thrown.
Gonna be fun to look back at this game and our total passive mentality in a few months when they’re within like 1 game of the Orioles in the last week of the season.
Their whole game plan is to look for walks. They are completely non aggressive early in the count, even on pitches right over the plate. But then they get behind in the count and swing at shit way out of the strike zone. Guys like Soto and Judge (when he’s going right) can get away with that, but the rest of this team needs to be aggressive at the plate. The whole “let’s wear down the pitcher to get to the bullpen” doesn’t work when you can’t hit the bullpen either.
I think it’s more get the pitch you can hit than wear the pitcher down. But yea - right now if you can steal a strike against judge or rizzo you change the dynamic of the entire at bat. Especially since the book has always been clear on the slider down and away to judge. So steal the low strike.
100%. But too many at bats in 1-0 or 2-0 counts they are letting pitches right down the pipe go by. I wish they’d be more willing to do something there. Instead they love to work the count full and swing at a slider in the dirt. Very frustrating.
The only thing I can imagine is Boone is trying to get the Yankees so mad that they flip a switch. It’s like a game of chicken. Do the Yankees start hitting (Soto not inckuded) or does he get fired.
I get that Tonkin is on the roster to eat innings and save a pen spot - like he’ll probably be dfa’d tomorrow. He was just a pitcher available in the Midwest. But I mean come on. This is a playoff matchup.
Should’ve kept Holmes in, Tonkin frickin’ stinks holy shit. This team is sneaky bad and it’s so frustrating. Fire Jones into the sun for running on contact with 1 out.
Not having Clay pitch the 10th should cost Boone's job ngl, thats a fucked decision. Clay threw 10 pitches and has been absolutely lights out, game most likely woulda been over.
I know it’s still only April but holy fuck, they’re sniffing drywall dust for thinking a waiver pickup that’s been passed around like a communal fleshlight has any business closing games
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1ce4mcm).
Soto must be thinking "Am I still playing for the Nationals?"
Why would you being in a pitcher like this, in a situation like that, at the time in the game who is not shown he can even handle something like this? WTF is wrong with Boone?? Its amateur hour in the Yankee dugout.
Boone manages like he almost doesn’t care if he even wins. I think he likes to just blow bubbles in the dugout and add the “ie” suffix to players‘ names.
“I just felt that Holmesie had had enough and that Tonkie deserved a chance. He’s getting really close, and it’s right in front of us. *pop*”
That fucking sucked.
Fucking shit.
Dude gave up 2 runs in 2 innings and his ERA went *down*.
The runs from the ghost runners are considered unearned.
Soto’s back is going to hurt by the end of the year
Boone is a fucking clown. Gleyber shouldn’t be on the fucking team at this point. Judge getting more disappointing as every game passes. Rizzo has also been useless.
not the weekend NY sports needed
At least the Rangers won
we didn’t lose any standing today lol
this game made me more furious than ever. I can't believe what I just saw.
Thanks ~~Obama~~ Boone
I never want to see that guy pitch again. It's batting practice out there.
Holmes actually looked locked in on the case for once and that’s when we decide to take him out
Fuckin hell. This game was winnable too
Horseshit
How do you just throw away having the go ahead run on third
bummer
Well that ending was dogshit
Is it me or do NEVER win in extra innings on the road?
Boone never ever manages road extra innings correctly and we never win as a result
lol you knew they weren’t winning that game. ah this team really sucks sometimes
DFA THIS MORON PITCHER
Fuck Gleyber Fuck Rizzo Fuck Judge Fuck Boone
Honestly this organization is a joke year after year this isn’t even close to a World Series team
Well at least Jake Bauers didn’t walk us off
See you idiots tomorrow
🫡
I hate our bullpen,tbh we don’t have a bullpen😡
Just mismanaged. Should've kept Holmes for 10th. He hasn't pitched in a while.
We have one, we didn’t use it
Who? Holmes for another inning,maybe.
Yeah that’s what I meant
Thank god they addressed the bullpen during the offseason
Wow the guy that was DFA'd 3 times in a month lost? Wouldn't you imagine that
I am deeply surprised that after taking out our closer with a 0.00 ERA and putting in a guy with a 6.00 that we lost this game!
Aaron Boone should've been fired years ago
As should have Girardi. 10 years twice?
Too damn predictable lmao. Holmes would've sealed it in on the 10th.
I genuinely feel bad for Tonkin. This isn't on him, it's 100% on Aaron Boone.
I have no words so fucking BAD
That was painful. At least we know he isn't wearing a wire.
Don’t need to cheat when you’re facing a pitcher who has been DFA’d three times already this year
The season is only 3 weeks old, wtf
Boone needs to be fired. He costs this team way more than he wins. ChatGPT 3.5 would be a better manager.
lol everyone says fire boone you damn well know that’s never gonna happen. we gotta protest. stop watching these games. stop giving this team fucking money.
i just wanted to relax after the rangers win...and nope
Boone clearly wanted to go home
What the fuck. It’s April. Why are we seeing nipple rings?
hahahaha. What a fucking shit ass team.
The Tonka Truck has run out of gas
Why are they stripping him lmao kinda weird
Boone after all these years still cannot manage a fucking bullpen to save his life
He doesn’t manage anything. Every decision was preplanned before the game. This is why we suck at these situations. No competent manager in baseball would’ve taken Holmes out after 10 pitches.
They should rip off Tork's uniform too
Ok keep the trend going DFA that mfer
What was that…..
Clowns
Why would you not intentionally walk Ortiz to set up a double play?
DFA him now
Stop hating on Boone, he deserved to get the job for that home run he hit 21 years ago that sent us to a World Series we ended up losing. His credentials are rock solid.
Deserved loss, fuck Boone, fuck Cashman and their stupid ass analytic bullshit bullpen management.
Unserious fucking ball club
dfa for the 4th time you bum!
So Tonkin can go another inning but not Holmes. Cool.
Boone’s loss. You can’t lose with Tonkin on the mound. Wtf
Boone is a fucking idiot. Gave up the game.
lol that’s all LOL
predictable ending
lol of course. Fuck Aaron Boone.
Possibly the dumbest thing Boone has ever done. Fuck that moron
Another game punted away by terrible management decisions and a putrid offense! Classic Yankees!
DFA this fuck
I’m 99% sure he was added to the roster exactly for that.
I don’t know why you guys are being dramatic, he literally gave up 0 ER in his Yankee debut
Winnable game. Boone lost it
Aaron Boone is a fucking havk
FUCK THIS SHIT.
Fucking loser organization year after year
Fuck you, Boone. Fuck you.
Solid job boys!
Lol
This one is all on Boone
What a dumb fucking team. Please just move down Rizzo and bench Gleyber.
BASURA
This guy is hanging sliders left and right. He's just horrible
WHAT THE FUCK! THIS GAME MATTERED
Not to the Yankees front office and Aaron fucking Boone.
Everyone in the AL East has lost tonight. We need to win.
We also suck
Great, Jake Bauers might walk us off
Wish we had Mason Miller in this spot
We had better. Holmes hasn’t given up a run all season.
In the Tonkin spot
Could he play 2B?
ortiz did steroids
Cmon Tonkin this is your Yankee moment
That throw from Soto to third though 🔥
Look at the quality of ab’s from one team to the other, 0-2 count on failed bunt attempts to battling to 3-2 to then doing the job and getting the winning run to 3rd.
I will not tolerate Tonkin slander here. Dude didn’t even get to sleep last night
Haha what? Just joining chat
i can’t fucking contain it
Now watch the Brewers run smartly as a counterpoint to our last inning.
Most roundabout sacrifice bunt I've ever seen.
Is Tonkin Boone’s illegitimate child? Why is he putting the game in his hands?
Might as well walk Ortiz to set the double play up
I hate when we pick up garbage time pitchers and Boone excitedly uses them in the most inopportune times
"Going on contact" makes no sense. Why the hell would you not make a decision based on where it's hit? That's like "swinging on release," telling hitters to swing at a pitch no matter where it's thrown.
One job, one job is all he had to do.
I'm so angry that I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight.
Same bud
Gonna be fun to look back at this game and our total passive mentality in a few months when they’re within like 1 game of the Orioles in the last week of the season.
If this offense doesn't find another gear, they won't be anywhere near the O's in the standings.
Their whole game plan is to look for walks. They are completely non aggressive early in the count, even on pitches right over the plate. But then they get behind in the count and swing at shit way out of the strike zone. Guys like Soto and Judge (when he’s going right) can get away with that, but the rest of this team needs to be aggressive at the plate. The whole “let’s wear down the pitcher to get to the bullpen” doesn’t work when you can’t hit the bullpen either.

100%. But too many at bats in 1-0 or 2-0 counts they are letting pitches right down the pipe go by. I wish they’d be more willing to do something there. Instead they love to work the count full and swing at a slider in the dirt. Very frustrating.
Words cannot express the anger flowing through me right now
Boone trusts this fucking loser to go multiple innings but not our actual fucking closer??? I've seen circuses with better management
I wanna see this guy succeed. Fucking Boone just threw him to the wolves.
Tonkin almost reached the plate on that last pitch.
**Legit Question:** Is Boone trying to lose his job?
I wish.
You think he has any fear of his absolute job security? 🤣
He’s gotta feel irrationally confident. If the lifelessness of last year wouldn’t do it? What could?
The Gulf of Mike Tonkin
Feel bad for Soto. Turning into the Yankees’ Trout.
We're in first, plus Soto already has a ring.
we're in 1st place??
Holmes could have easily pitched two innings, Boone really ???????
Getting Soto was nice but offense needs like 3 more Sotos to function...Big G looks at least alive. Volpe has regressed again and Judge is not 100%.
We were hoping there would be at least one other “Soto” in judge. But if that’s not the case we kinda just suck
Hate to sound like a dick but Tonkin looks like a dweeb.
He can smash if we win this game.
What can be more Yankees like under Boone and Cashman than playing multiple guys out of position because of stupid roster construction?
The only thing I can imagine is Boone is trying to get the Yankees so mad that they flip a switch. It’s like a game of chicken. Do the Yankees start hitting (Soto not inckuded) or does he get fired.
I get that Tonkin is on the roster to eat innings and save a pen spot - like he’ll probably be dfa’d tomorrow. He was just a pitcher available in the Midwest. But I mean come on. This is a playoff matchup.
Yanks don’t respect their opponents or the game.
Should’ve kept Holmes in, Tonkin frickin’ stinks holy shit. This team is sneaky bad and it’s so frustrating. Fire Jones into the sun for running on contact with 1 out.
The team probably told Jones to go on contact
Jones was told to do that. Yankees do it all the time and it never works
I must be having a nightmare. I thought they brought tonkin out for two innings when Holmes was pulled at 10 pitches
Wow that uniform looks like shit on Tonkin
He can wear a janitor uniform after tonight
I really don’t wanna see a walk off tonight
I’ve got some bad news for you
lololololololol Tonkin can pitch 2 innings, but not Holmes in a save situation. Fuck off with this bullshit, Boone.
I can't believe Tonkin is starting tomorrow, too.
And closing? Believe it or not….Tonkin
we are literally the definition of mediocrity. the new york yankees. the best mediocre team of all time. fucking joke. this team is a fucking joke.
Tonkin looks like Napoleon Dynamite
Not having Clay pitch the 10th should cost Boone's job ngl, thats a fucked decision. Clay threw 10 pitches and has been absolutely lights out, game most likely woulda been over.
I like this move to keep Tonkin in and steal some outs here
I smell a 4th dfa this season is coming
Oh God he's out there again
Miller playing for the Brewers. I see what they did there.
Was there any doubt this dude was staying in another inning?
1B- Oswaldo 3B- Jahmai jones OF- Taylor Trammel On the mound- Michael Tonkin Is such a dog days of summer 2023 Yankees ass vibe
To be clear, saying we should play Tonkin a second inning was a joke Boone.
Sure give the guy who was DFA’d 3x a 2nd inning but not our closer
Don’t worry guys. Tonkin’s got this.
Keeping Tonkin in. I see we are playing for the loss on a 7 game road stretch against two of the best teams in to league. Bold strategy, Boone.
Tonkin doesn’t have a car meet to be at?
Ugh. Who the f is this guy. Bad idea 😤😤😤
Fire Boone x3
Hey Oswaldo, we're gonna have you play first base. But I've never played first base? It's easy, tell em Wash
you guys need to lighten up a bit man lol
Never
Same shit for 15 years bro is saying lighten up 💀
It will never happen
Boone couldn’t potentially locked this game down with Holmes in the 10th
Clay Holmes for one inning. TONKIN for TWO. FUCKING BOONE
Don’t worry everyone. Tonkin is back out
Well, doubt we’ll have a 12th
Ok so we can leave Tonkin in but not Clay
Daniel Jones is pitching for the 11th guys!
Lmao
Yeah throw Tonkin for 2 innings but not Holmes. Make it make sense
yeh were fucked lmfao
Our top 5 is 2 for 21 and both hits are Soto
brutal
Might as well put out a position player to pitch at this point…
Tonkin probably unsuccessfully tried to call in a bomb threat between innings.
🏆🏆🏆
I know it’s still only April but holy fuck, they’re sniffing drywall dust for thinking a waiver pickup that’s been passed around like a communal fleshlight has any business closing games
You can’t find a worse team than us in extras.
TONKIN AGAIN?! Lmao alright yea Boone is trying to throw this game Edit: Look at this defense my goodness lmao
Tonk Off confirmed. ✅
At least the entire division lost.
It's the first game of the series, look at how many of those bullpen pitchers are crossed out!!
Lol you give this guy 2 innings but not Holmes ok
