Teams that draft well do so no matter where they pick. Teams that draft poorly do so no matter where they pick I want my team to win games and draft well

Boone led MLB in ejections last year and has 3 this year

Best manager in the league
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

I was talking about his ejections yesterday with some people. He's up there on entertaining ejections. No one is Billy Martin or Lou Pinella, but Boone goes from irritated to cursing up a storm faster than a Hunter Green pitch. He's hilarious.

I really do like Boone, and I hope that once this team is truly healthy they can win it all for him. For all my Cashman kvetching, I think he's built a really good roster--if healthy. This lineup can produce a ton of runs and if the real starters are healthy, it's potentially 4 ace-level guys and whoever they fill in for the 5th spot (bring back Jhony!). If you can save the Marinaccio, Wandy, and King bullets for less appearances, this is a shutdown pen.

Girardi was probably funnier when he got tossed because he's so serious all the time, and it was more of an occasion.

But Boone gets tossed more and is legitimately funny, too. He probably realizes he's a replacement-level manager, so getting tossed doesn't affect how the team is managed :)

No manager getting tossed has ever affected how the team is managed. Every ejected manager ever has continued managing from beyond the dugout.

As a strategist, he might be replacement-level, but we also have no idea how many decisions are made by the front office that he is just the face of. But from a player standpoint, I think he's above-average. At least until he's pissing off Cole by pulling him.

Yankee Stadium has been trending on Twitter today. Largely because people are answering the question "What's the rarest thing you've seen at Yankee Stadium?"

My favorite answer I've seen: "I saw Carl Pavano pitch"

My answer would be a Clint Frazier HR.

No lead is safe with this pitching staff.

That fWAR isn’t even possible lmao.

There is 1 guy in the entire league with a -1 WAR or lower and it took him 47 games of batting .221/.281/.261 with 0 HRs and bad defense to compile that number
