New York Yankees fans incensed by manager's puzzling lineup for rubber match vs Red Sox: "Please get Boone out of my life"

The New York Yankees enter a pivotal matchup with the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night. After splitting the first two games, the Yanks can ill afford to drop another series as they await Aaron Judge's return. Boston, who is six games back of the Bronx Bombers, would love nothing more than to spoil a home series and push the Yankees further behind the Tampa Bay Rays.With no Judge or Harrison Bader and Giancarlo Stanton just returning from the IL (not to mention a struggling Anthony Volpe), Aaron Boone has had to get creative with the lineups recently. Today's is a good example of that.New York Yankees@YankeesSunday Series Finale. #RepBX983157Sunday Series Finale. #RepBX https://t.co/0zO1bc30vvThe lineup for the key matchup is:Willie Calhoun, RFGleyber Torres, 2BAnthony Rizzo, 1BJosh Donaldson, DHJake Bauers, LFDJ LeMahieu, 3BBilly McKinney, CFJose Trevino, COswaldo Cabrera, SSThey'll be behind Clarke Schmidt making the start. Boone has made the decision to keep Stanton as fresh as possible by removing him from the lineup as he eases back from a lengthy absence.Volpe has struggled mightily to the tune of a 69 wRC+ and Willie Calhoun, batting leadoff today, has been a bright spot, posting a 105 wRC+ as he has been heating up in recent weeks.Fans upset with New York Yankees lineupsAll of that has combined to make for one of the more interesting lineups of the season. Fans don't really care why the manager has to make these interesting starting orders, they just want the best product on the field. This lineup, according to them, is not that.Stephanie Katz@stephkatz90@Yankees I don't understand why we've never had the same lineup 2 days in a row at all this season1@Yankees I don't understand why we've never had the same lineup 2 days in a row at all this seasongabbagool@gabagoolios@Yankees God forbid Stanton plays more than 2 days in a row, please get Boone out of my life19@Yankees God forbid Stanton plays more than 2 days in a row, please get Boone out of my life𝒞𝑜𝒸𝑜 𝒴𝒶𝓃𝓀𝓏 🇨🇺@coco_yankz@Yankees Never thought I’d ask for IKF to play more but here we are lol17@Yankees Never thought I’d ask for IKF to play more but here we are lolSal Frucci@SalFrucci@Yankees Embarrassing that Stanton can't even play a 3 game series without an off day16@Yankees Embarrassing that Stanton can't even play a 3 game series without an off dayAddison@YankeeWRLD@Yankees Stanton off again lol alright43@Yankees Stanton off again lol alrightCmack@NYStinkees@Yankees Do we ever have a set lineup like the other 29 teams in league18@Yankees Do we ever have a set lineup like the other 29 teams in leagueLJR ⚾️@mother3k@Yankees I will never understand why rest a guy when you have have off 2 days this week.

They change the order frequently as they rotate guys in and out and deal with injuries, but today's order is pretty out there.Giancarlo Stanton is off for the New York YankeesIf the New York Yankees win, they'll be pleased that Boone's lineup paid off. If they lose, it will be more ammo for the fan base to call for him to be fired. The Yankees are not in a good way right now, so they need to be firing on all cylinders and not lose series to .500 teams.
