BOONE NEEDS TO STOP CRYING

Hey Aaron "No Championships" Boone? How about worry about winning, not about a home run that was ruled a foul ball almost a week ago. Pathetic.

Poor manager, terrible leader and messed up priorities. That's what we have with Aaron Boone folks.

Aaron Boone is out here acting like a home run therapist instead of the actual manager of the New York Yankees. Days after Aaron Judge had a dinger called foul (that clearly wasn’t), Boone is still on his “it should’ve counted” world tour — like MLB’s gonna hand him a retroactive win and a cookie.

Apparently, Boone thinks the home plate umpire should’ve made the call instead of the third-base umpire. Why? Because Boone’s deep into the “vibes over vision” strategy of game management now. “I think it might be an easier call,” he said, pretending this is the real issue facing his team and not, say, the fact that half the pitching staff looks like they’re throwing with their non-dominant hand.

But wait, it gets better. Boone blames the whole fiasco on the stadium — Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees’ spring training home — as if the foul pole personally conspired against Judge. “Not being in a major league park, with the third deck, complicates it,” he whined, suddenly auditioning for a role as MLB’s lead architect.

Here’s the thing, Boone: you're not an engineer, you're not Bob the Builder, and you’re definitely not fooling anyone. You're the manager of the New York Yankees. Maybe spend a little more time fixing your bullpen than phoning MLB to complain about phantom homers.

Boone even called MLB's senior VP of baseball ops, Michael Hill, to voice his frustration. Hill gave him the equivalent of a customer service “we understand your concern” and hung up. There’s no rule that allows Judge’s home run to be reinstated, no matter how many trees it landed in or how emotional Boone gets on the phone.

Meanwhile, the Yankees have actual problems. The pitching’s melting down, Volpe’s not delivering, and their closer is apparently going through an existential crisis. But sure, let’s focus on that one blown call a week ago. That’ll fix everything.

Boone is giving serious “guy who forgot his fantasy football login” energy — distracted, emotional, and clearly not locked in. The Yankees have a winning record for now, but with Boone managing like he’s running a Yelp review page for umpires, don’t count on that lasting.

So Boone, maybe stop blaming foul poles, third-base umps, and minor league sightlines, and try managing your team like the season actually matters. Or at least, fake it better.
