Boone with the John Boy guys yesterday before the loss, essentially conceding that they are very much

underachieving right now.

Difficult thing for me right now is I really feel like we potentially have such a good

team right now and we have not been able to put it together.

And that's a big part of that is on me.

Like I got to help set the tone to put these guys in a position to realize their potential. And then took it a step further in terms of his opinion about the current roster. In a lot of ways, I feel like this is potentially the best team we've had here over the last several years. But we got to put it together. There's a lot of, you know, the talk is cheap, it's on paper, so on and so forth.

This losing streak, the current one began with that Friday night disaster in Miami,

followed by the Jazz Chisholm, base running gaff on Saturday.

Boone asked about shielding jazz with the conversation not visible on TV,

whereas he kind of undressed his first base coach, Travis Chapman, for all to see.

Was there something to doing that in the dugout instead of doing that in the hallway?

No, no. I wish I hadn't done it. You know, I wish they wouldn't have seen me in Chapby.

My ire wasn't so much directed as Chapman. It was more about jazz and the play happened.

And I hadn't gotten a chance to talk to jazz yet. And that kind of falls in line with. I was just listening to a clip out in the newsroom that I guess Boomer had seen of Lance Lynn, who was briefly with the Yankee. He was on one of these podcasts or whatever. And he's like, Boone is definitely addressing all this stuff with these guys behind closed doors. He's getting after them. They're just not going to give you anything publicly because they don't want to throw chum in the

water to the media so as frustrating is it is for the fan base and for people to feel like they're

not holding these guys accountable or getting after their asses they are it just hasn't the results

haven't been there we've all been down this road with coaches in this city where a coach makes the mistake and goes after a player or says something wrong about a player or it's interpreted wrong and social media blows it up. It's on the back pages of the newspapers. And the next thing you know, the coach is fired. And, you know, it's a fine line. It's, it's really a fine line.

You want to be in control. When I watch a Yankee game, I see a manager that is involved.

He's, he's coaching, he's involved, he's making decisions. Now, I don't know how much of a decision

maker he is when it comes to making the lineup and following the analytics and, plan that they lay out for all these games but he is not you know sitting at the end of

the bench not doing anything i mean he's right there and as far as any of these coaches

calling out any of their players it's just not going to happen we saw it with hobby bias and
