After all, they had just met with a brutal sweep in Miami. They had a chance to silence the growing unrest and flush out the mounting errors. But instead, what unfolded on Monday night was a familiar collapse. They saw a 3-0 lead slip before blowing another 5-4 lead with one out in the ninth inning. Eventually, the Bombers were handed another 8-5 extra-inning loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Devin Williams blew a save for the second consecutive outing, and for the third time this season. To top it all off, this time he surrendered yet another home run, adding to the Rangers\u2019 lead. Let\u2019s not forget the Yankees have recently added two new relievers for late-inning crises\u2014David Bednar and Camilo Doval.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">However, Boone has remained firm in his support of Williams, saying, \u201cWe have really good guys down there, Devin included. We gotta be able to close out these games. He\u2019s been through some tough moments already this season, and we gotta bounce back from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-article=\"true\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n<p>Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">When the Yankees won three out of four games against the Tampa Bay Rays some time ago, it did feel like they would continue that momentum. However, <a class=\"es-hyperlink-new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.essentiallysports.com\/mlb-baseball-news-aaron-boone-delivers-wake-up-call-to-yankees-with-slump-admission-after-brutal-marlins-sweep\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_2\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">after a meltdown against the Marlins<\/a>, the Bronx faithful lost their trust in the club. The one taking the most heat is none other than Boone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">\u201cThere\u2019s no time. Another one\u2019s coming for us tomorrow, and we gotta figure this stuff out,\u201d he said following Monday\u2019s loss to the Rangers. \u201cI know everyone feels like crap, but we gotta go take it. Haven\u2019t been able to do that on this road trip so far, but we gotta do better,\u201d  Boone added. When asked if this ongoing slump has taken a toll on the players, he immediately responded with a firm \u201cyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">It makes sense given the consecutive losses the team has suffered. However, for now, it\u2019s not the players who are under the harsh scrutiny; it\u2019s the manager, Boone.<\/p>\n<p>Yankees\u2019 fans demand to fire Aaron Boone<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">For some time now, Yankees manager has been preaching patience and assuring the Yankees\u2019 nation that the team will find its footing again. However, that \u201csoon\u201d is starting to look far-fetched as the season speeds by. Now, he might be able to hear all the noise coming from the Bronx and beyond, from the fans who are done watching this team fall apart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Amidst the uproar, a fan noted a collective reaction that many have been feeling: \u00a0\u201cCashman needs to move on from Boone before they\u2019re both shown the door.\u201d The club has lost 13 of its last 21 games. While GM Brian Cashman may have made the most of the trade deadline, he and Boone haven\u2019t been able to halt the team\u2019s losing streak. Naturally, both are now taking heat for the Yankees\u2019 ongoing slump that could lead to their fallout from the playoff race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Safe to say that in no time, the \u201c#fireboone\u201d will be trending. \u201c#fireboone he needs to go! We have been cooked \ud83c\udf73 for a longgggg time! Byeee!\u201d Clearly, after watching the team start the season with high spirits and end up piling up losses, fans feel like they\u2019ve been cooked. However, Boone is firm on his stance. He says that the pressure the team is feeling doesn\u2019t really matter. Instead, he\u2019s focusing on finding a way to get the job done and start winning again. \u201cYes, [this stretch of play is weighing on the players]. Doesn\u2019t matter though\u2026 Weigh on us, stress; we gotta win. Period,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-article=\"true\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n<p>Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Another fan noted, \u201cBro, get rid of this dude; he doesn\u2019t even have coaching experienceeeeeeeeee.\u201d Boone took over the managerial role with the Yankees back in December 2017. Before that, he had no prior managing or coaching experience. Before becoming the Yankees\u2019 manager, he worked as an analyst for ESPN. The Yankees organization believed in his baseball pedigree and interpersonal skills. Clearly, the fanbase has been unhappy for a while now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">Then, the fans recalled the entire managerial history of the Yankees. \u201cWorst manager in Yankee history. Just a complete joke.\u201d Boone happens to be the 33rd manager of the Yankees. Before that, the organization was led by many greats, such as Casey Stengel, Joe Torre, and Joe McCarthy, who are considered the Yankees\u2019 best managers, in that order.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">There were others who believed Boone shouldn\u2019t be a scapegoat; instead, it\u2019s the higher authority that should be answerable. \u201cAll you morons are gonna be in for a crazy reality check when you realize the next manager they hire is an exact clone of Boone. The problem is the head of the operation, Cashman and Hal.\u201d\u00a0 Owner Hal Steinbrenner and GM Brian Cashman are also criticized for their approach. After all, nearly a week into August, the Yankees are still winless.<\/p>\n<p data-article=\"true\">ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n<p>Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">What do you think? What\u2019s the way out for the Yankees? And if not Boone, who seems to be the better fit for the Bombers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Yankees had a million reasons to come back better than ever against the Texas Rangers.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":91593,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2393],"tags":[5,4,3324,149,1567,69,3240,3325],"class_list":{"0":"post-226970","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-texas-rangers","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-npstrans","11":"tag-rangers","12":"tag-texas","13":"tag-texas-rangers","14":"tag-texasrangers","15":"tag-toppic"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114976425428580393","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
