Boone Makes A Startling Revelation
”I want us to be obsessed with controlling the strike zone. That’s one of my bumper stickers, if you will,” stated Boone as reported by NJ.com. Obsessed with controlling the strike zone? That’s his bumper sticker? I understand that players need to be patient at the plate particularly our powerhouse sluggers, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, who are no strangers to strikeouts with Judge striking out 208 times (a rookie record) and Stanton whiffing 163 times (tied for 17th in the league). But what is your vision, Boone? Can we put whatever that is on a bumper sticker?
I say all of this because I am concerned. I am concerned because Boone has no experience coaching. Both Callaway and Kapler have incredible resumes and previous experiences leading players. Boone, not so much. Now to be fair, last week, Boone did share some hopes and dreams, which could be equated to a vision of sorts.
“I want to be somebody that is known as a smart manager that makes smart decisions, that’s prepared,” Boone said. “But also, one that when you walk into our clubhouse, hopefully I’m a part of what I believe is a winning culture — a culture where guys are at ease, where guys are allowed to be themselves, where when you walk into our room, it’s not a stressful place; it’s a place where guys are at work and enjoy coming there to do their job, and hopefully I’m part of creating that atmosphere,” reported CBS Sports.
He offers a lot of hope in his statement but hope is just not enough. What are you going to do, Aaron? The Yankee administration chose Boone because of his baseball acuity and his personality. But as many have said including John Harper of the New York Daily News, if “Boone has the personality to let criticism roll off his back, (that’s half of the battle of managing in New York). That stuff seemed to eat at Girardi at times, adding to the tension he created for people around him with his grinding intensity.”
I HOPE that Boone’s bumper sticker vision evolves into something more than “hope” and “I want to be” and strike zone strategies. Perhaps this will all become clearer as Boone gets more games under his belt. He needs spring training to iron out his wrinkles just as the players need it to ready themselves. April will be here soon enough and as excited as I am for opening day, I worry that our new manager is too green. We have a lot of potential to win this year, folks. But when it comes to management in the clubhouse, we are definitely going to need Boone to step it up and back up his hopes and dreams with some actions.
