I guess that says it all.

It's just sad, that's all.

wouldn't have been upset if they let him go and not upset that he's staying. Never thought a manager made that much difference as long as they knew how to communicate with the players and handle the NY media. Baseball is a pretty basic game. Certainly not football or even basketball where game planning is a huge part of a coach's responsibility.

“If I'm the owner, Aaron Boone wouldn't stay," said Hall of Fame closer Mariano Rivera. "When things don't come out the way we want them to all of the fault goes on the manager and somebody has to pay the price and we won't put that on the players..." Not surprised Boone and, likely, Cashman will be back, but disappointed because I think it signals that next year will be more of the same - good enough to make the post season, but not good enough to be a WS favorite. MLB, indeed, all pro sports is a results based business. So if you are satisfied that they have had a winning season under Cashman for 20+ straight seasons then you are happy he is back. But if one WS appearance in 20 years doesn't satisfy you them you are probably unhappy at today's news. On a side note, I wonder if Cashman's decision to publically disclose the team's offer to Judge this spring (an offer I think he would have happily accepted if they had made it a year earlier) will affect the upcoming negotiations. Jusfe was reportedly a bit miffed by them disclosing it.

Your post speaks volumes about the state of baseball in 2022. Are you saying that the most imprtant decisions, who plays where and when, are not being made by the manager. His job is to explain decisions to players and the the press. Am I reading that right ?

batting orders and where players play could be done by some of the people that post here.

Disappointed.  Expect to see the same results as we have been seeing for the 12 of the last 13 years. If they're okay with getting eliminated before the World Series, enjoy...

Mariano said that? I'm actually shocked. He's a stand up guy... I'm surprised he'd blame the manager for players not doing their job. Boone wasn't the one who choked against the Astros pitching. Do you have a link to the Mariano quote?
