I thought Boone should’ve been fired years ago but despite making the World Series I would be demanding he get fired now if I were a Yankees fan

It's glorious to see another team hoisting the trophy and celebrating at Yankee Stadium in front of all those asshats. It's also hilarious to me that those idiots play the Sinatra song win or lose so the Dodgers were serenaded by New York New York as they were bouncing around the infield. I hope that the Yankees and their fans suffer for another 100 years without a championship.

Free agency starts at 9 am this morning with the exclusive window for teams to re-sign '24 free agents. The league doesn't rest.

Boone has 6.5 seasons (we'll call 2020 a half season) under his belt... "Should've been fired years ago." :lol:

Are we sure it just hasn't historically started around this time, and is only starting close to the WS because they finish in almost **** November lol

I'm not sure - that re-sign window probably starts the day after the clinching game. And yes, the season is getting ridiculously long. At least it was warm last night in the Bronx.

Yes, I thought he should’ve been fired in 2022. In their last four seasons, the Yankees:

- lost to the Red Sox in a one game wild card
- got swept by the Astros in the ALCS
- missed the playoffs
- got beat by the Dodgers in 5

Getting to the World Series was good but tbh the AL was really weak this year. Even still they had 3 bad playoff showings or seasons in a row which, considering their payroll, is a massive disappointment imo

So should Alex Cora be fired?

I do think it’s probably time to part ways with Boone. He’s been okay, but the Cortes decision was awful and the defensive and base-running gaffes were inexcusable.

I wouldn’t be upset with it but it’s not a “he should be fired” because the Sox roster has been worse than the Yankees the last couple of seasons

most of my frustration is with FSG because we don’t spend anymore

Hopefully Ben Cherington is well rested, this is his time to shine!

So you’re saying a coach with a bad roster shouldn’t be held accountable for bad results?

2019 and 2022 Red Sox rosters would probably be close to that.

IMO it’s the coaches job to ensure guys who are 10 years past their prime should play like they’re still in their prime

For as quickly as that 5-0 lead disappeared midway through the game, I thought Mike Sullivan was managing that team.
