THERE ISN'T ANYONE GOOD ON THE YANKEES ANYMORE

Winning 2 in a row isn't great, but it's something. That being said... nothing's going right. 

Aaron Judge is doing his job, and yes, he's doing a great job right now. He needs to be paid and extended, but I gotta tell you something... Why the hell would he want to stick around in this new Yankee environment where no one knows how to play?

What happened with the Yankees earlier in the season was a feel good story of inspiration and dramatics. They were playing out of their shoes.  If you thought for a moment it would translate to a World Series win, you are not a true baseball fan and do not understand the highs and lows of this game. Stories about teams like that are rare. At the time, there weren't injuries and slumps and inconsistencies. Now however we have all of the above and it's a problem. How Judge can play in this environment is mindboggling.

The other night, Michael Kay went right down the list of the staring lineup and basically demolished the whole team with the problems they all have and this was just the other day. By the way, nothing has changed.

In fact the lineup that went out yesterday had Gleyber Torres leading off and Marwin Gonzalez batting 9th. I'd rather put my mom and dad in those spots, because they're essentially automatic outs.

Jesus please tell me why you are batting Gleyber Torres leadoff? @ThisIsSteveAzul @JayBilly2 @Carbs_ @BleednYankeeBlu pic.twitter.com/vG0UJN0jPv

You got to be kidding me. Everybody is happy when your team is playing well.  Everyone is quiet when you're not. And that goes for the players too.

NJ.com writes this about Torres:

"Gleyber Torres spoke softly at his locker in the back of the visitors clubhouse at Tropicana Field. He paused to collect his thoughts before answering each question.

“Thank God August is done,” he told NJ Advance Media. “It’s September right now. Just, really, mentality-wise, I’m staying really positive to (make) an adjustment really quick and try to hit better.”

But I've said this for years and I'll say it again. Limping into the playoffs is no way to go.  Winning the wild card is a failed season. Not hitting when it's your job is pretty horrendous.  And Aaron Boone replacing bad hitters or hurt ones with other players who don't hit is no way to manage.

Boone is the manager. I've said this a thousand times, it's worth sharing my tweet from the other day. When the Yankees are good, it's the Yankees. When the Yanks are bad, it takes a good manager to find the right combo to find wins, and that's where Boone fails. That's why he's a terrible manager.

Lots of peeps bitching about the @Yankees. Teams are good & teams are bad. It’s a chemistry thing and right now things are off. But when things are bad, player switches and lineup shake ups sometimes fix things. But that must come FROM THE MANAGER. Boones useless on dark days

So what needs to happen? Find ways to win. It's pretty simple. We have to tools, we just don't have the direction and leadership. And so, it's up to the players.  Judge is a player and leader but not the manager. He can only do and say so much. It takes the guy in charge of the team, Boone, to right the ship. 

Otherwise it's just another year of BS in the Bronx.
