AARON JUDGE IS TOTALLY WRONG ABOUT THIS ONE

I think by about now everyone who reads Bleeding Yankee Blue kind of knows how I feel about Aaron Boone being a failed leader.  All you need to do is type in Boone in the search bar on BYB or see our Top 10 list.  The readership is high, the fans feel the same and even go further wanting Brian Cashman removed too.  

The best thing the Yankees did as of recently was bring the kids up to have some fun and win some games. But that was Hal's decision... don't get it twisted. That recent winning streak has nothing to do with Brian Cashman and definitely nothing to do with Boone.

Now comes word that Aaron Judge came to the defense of Aaron Boone and him wanting the Bozo to return in 2024.  I'm not kidding.

A site called the Messenger writes:

"...Judge has played for manager Aaron Boone in six out of his seven MLB seasons, and he wants it to stay that way.

"I've been with Boonie all the way since 2018. He's the guy....He has been there for us in good times and bad times. The guy shows up and supports his players. You can probably tell by the amount of times he's been thrown out of games that he always has our back."

Now look, Judge doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He's also the Captain so he knows his words hold weight.  If Boone does come back, it will be based on Judge's opinion. That's really no way to run a baseball team, but that's what will happen.  I also have news for you... Aaron Judge is wrong.  

Boonie is an actor.  Yelling at umpires is not leadership. It's not "fighting for the team" as some will suggest. It's theater. He's compensating.  Now if Judge and Boone have a friendship, which I suspect they do and Boone probably does with many on the team, I wish Judge would just say that. It's one of those things where you see things playing much differently in public but just feel like you're getting lied to through the media. It's annoying. It's the world we live in.

Aaron Judge can have his opinion... it will probably save Boone's job, but it shouldn't.  Hal needs to stand tall and make hard decisions.  The idea of the New York Yankees is the win championships, not hang out with friends.  Sure, Boone has been there in good times and bad, Judge... but that's because he has to. He's supposed to be in charge. But here's what we should be asking; Can you guys win with Aaron Boone? That's the real question.  My answer is no.

We need to move on you Big Tree.
