“It’s right in front of us pal”; “0 emotion coming out of his mouth” - Yankees fans upset as Aaron Boone fails to be decisive after continuous slump

The New York Yankees had a chance to win the series amid the ongoing slump but faced a tough 5-4 loss against the Tampa Bay Rays. The team has gone 3-7 in their last 10 games.

The RBI single by Brandon Lowe in the third gave the Rays a one-run lead (3-2) and eventually, it turned out to be enough as the Yankees fell short to tie the game in the ninth. The slump has taken a toll on Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who was not happy to lose the series at home.

"We got to take care of our own house," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "We've got to get going in the right direction right now. That's kind of where the focus is."

Fans on the internet slammed Boone for being indifferent to the series of defeats.

"It's right in front of us, pal," one fan remarked.

"The guy don't care that we're losing right now, 0 emotions coming out of his mouth," another fan stated.

Many shared a similar sentiment when they saw the post-game interview of Aaron Boone with the reporters.

"Boone and Cashman out. No trade is going to fix this team," one fan said.

"3 years in a row he has watched his team crash," one fan uttered.

"How long until they finally fire Boone? This is ridiculous," one fan asked.

"He’s so soft… same excuses year after year! he rather be their friend instead of their manager!" One fan opined.

Aaron Boone gets support of Yankees general manager

The New York Yankees, once boasting a dominant 49-21 record in early June, now find themselves mired in a concerning 13-17 stretch that has them clinging to a 56-38 record.

Despite the ongoing slump, general manager Brian Cashman expressed confidence in Aaron Boone's leadership. He acknowledges the team's struggles but maintains faith in Boone's ability to "push the right buttons" and navigate them back to winning ways.

"He’s charged every day with pushing the right buttons the best he can with what he’s got," Cashman said. "It was a tidal wave of success here for the first two months, and then here, as we closed out June and entered July, we’ve hit a really rough patch for an extended period of time.

"Ultimately it all comes together with what our current record is, but we gotta be playing better than we currently are right now as an entire unit." [via MLB.com].

This sudden downturn has ignited a firestorm of debate, with frustrated fans clamoring for a managerial change before the All-Star break.
