  6. Whatever you’re doing the most of, do less of that. Whatever you’re doing the most of, stop it.

  13. Loser team decides to make no changes to the grand losing formula. Should turn out pretty great next year like it has for the last decade.

  16. Boone shouldn’t be pushing this narrative. Because if it’s not analytics, then he is just terrible all on his own.

  18. No one is mad at the team for using analytics or up to date data as part of decision making. You are losing if you aren’t like the Gettleman Giants. This team never does the balance well enough like the Nestor thing, pulling a starter early, continuing to play slumping hitters. It’s exhausting

  22. I think people use ‘analytics’ in too broad of a sense. The GM uses analytics to determine which type of player he wants on his team.

    A manager uses ‘analytics’ to make decisions in the game so he can win.

    Completely different analytics

  24. Either the way this headline is written is misleading or I am (and so are a lot of the commenters here) an idiot, because he’s mostly supporting Boone with his comment, not throwing him under the bus, as I and a lot of others originally interpreted. Or at least, not that bus—a different one later in the clip. Watch the video.

  29. So either we’re very analytical, suck at it, and don’t want to admit it. Or we’re not analytical and haven’t won in almost 2 decades. Either argument is a bad one.

  30. I actually listened to this – and it just makes no sense to me? Cash was rambling and seemed to waffle mid sentence between saying Boone was claiming we don’t use analytics much and also that he whines about the front office injecting analytics into his decision making. So which one is it? Was Boone trying to say he makes his own decisions or does Boone whine about the front office taking over?

    And then the dig from Cash to say Boone doesn’t establish platoon rules early enough upfront. Ouch.

    This is the weirdest answer I’ve ever heard from Cash. Just 2 minutes of word soup nonsense

  31. So in that case I’m understanding Boone should have been fired for the Nestor v Freeman decision? I gave him the pass figuring it was the front office for how large a blunder it was.

  35. At this point I just don’t care. They’re all liars and really think nothing of us fans. They constantly change what they’re saying and can’t keep a story straight, yet Yankee fans will continue to pay outrageous amounts of money on merchandise and tickets year after year. They gaslight us all the time.Toxic relationship…

  36. For anyone who wonders what is most important to Cashman – this would pretty much show that CASHMAN is what’s most important to CASHMAN – that and getting his daughter shows on YES. To throw a manger under the bus like this – is bad even for this horrible GM/leader

  38. Does this mean that Cash is on a slightly above room temperature seat if he’s playing the blame game?

  39. If you watch the clip he’s clearly not throwing him under the bus. At best he’s saying the response was perfect but the sentiment was correct.
