Listening to Aaron Boone say Carlos Rodon was good when he clearly wasn’t makes me wonder if they’d be better off going back to the days of Dallas Green unloading on players to the press.

Man, Dallas Green, now there's a throwback. Dude pulled no punches. If you pitched like trash, he'd basically say, “He pitched like trash.” None of this “he had good stuff, just didn’t get the results” PR fluff. Boone, on the other hand, could watch Rodón give up 5 runs in 3 innings and still say, “I thought he competed well out there.”

It's like he's managing vibes more than the roster sometimes.

I get why they do it—protect the players, keep the clubhouse steady—but after a while, it feels like gaslighting the fanbase. You watch a guy get shelled, then hear Boone say he was “nails” or “in command,” and you're like... was I watching the same game?

So yeah, a little old-school honesty wouldn’t hurt. Not necessarily full-on Dallas Green meltdown mode, but something closer to “Yeah, he stunk today. He knows it. We’ve gotta be better.”

You think it’s Boone just towing the company line? Or do you think he genuinely believes this stuff?

Dallas was not afraid to use his size.

I think Boone is very clear on his role and it’s not to curry a mutiny in the clubhouse by telling players the truth, at least publicly and probably not privately. 

Great leaders have done the opposite of what the public was doing. They’re getting slaughtered? Pat them on the back. They’re getting praise and are strutting around? Point out a negative. I doubt Boone is thinking with that level of complexity.

I'm surprised Boone has lasted so long in NY. I don't follow the Yankees that closely but it seems like he's squandered an awful lot of talented teams!

If they fired Boone, they'd hire someone who does exactly what Boone does. At least he's got experience now and knows his way around the penitentiary.
