Not a surprise. Boone has little feel for the game.
Boone used 3 guys that inning and none of them could get anyone out but yeah it's his fault. He's managed a rag tag group decimated by injury to the best bullpen era in baseball coming in but he has "no feel for the game". Priceless. Do me a favor guys. Never change.
Looked tired? He didn’t look tired to me. He was cruising through the game and had a pretty low pitch count entering that inning.As it was he only threw 89 pitches including the three batters in the 7th. His velocity wasn’t down either.
Not sure what other things might’ve pointed to him being tired?
I’m not the biggest Boone fan, but that inning wasn’t on him. If he took Nestor out to begin the inning and the pen shit the bed like they did, he’d be getting killed for not having Nestor go back out for another inning. I know it never even crossed my mind to take Nestor out after the 6th.

Yeah, sure thing. Boone is a wonderful manager night in and night out.

This. A while back when Boone took German out under similar circumstances, everyone killed him for that. There was much yelling about how he was dealing and his pitch count was low. This time, he leaves his starter in and the same people are screaming about that.
I'm not much of a Boone fan but this stuff is ridiculous. The complaints are 100% based on the outcome. Pulling pitchers early is stupid! Except when you leave a cruising starter in and he gets bombed in a late inning, then that's stupid too!
Mangers/Coaches have varying affects on the outcomes of the different sports. Baseball they probably have the least affect game to game. One area they do have a big affect is bullpen management. The main beef among his many detractors in here is his lack of "feel for the game". Nothing demonstrates a feel for the game more than the management of the pen. Well throughout his tenure the bullpen #'s have been elite year in year out. This while dealing with huge amounts of injuries year in year out and doing it with less than household names. So what exactly is this evidence of his "lack of feel for the game"?
for this loss, his bullpen just sucked, just an ugly loss...
When are they going to DFA Abreu by the way, not a major league pitcher. He has no idea how to pitch, just throws.

Exactly. I expected to be pissed that inning because Boone yanked Nestor for giving up a hit or a walk or just for the sake of a matchuo. He was cruising.
Puts rookie SS leadoff. Not even a rookie like Jeter had that pressure. Then he tries it with Bauers.
Not sure if the other hitters like being moved up and down the lineup
I noticed Cortes dropping down and falling off the mound on a pitch to the second batter he faced in the 7th and he had not done that earlier in the game. his pitch count was in the 80's by then.
critical comments, we get about one thread a week now.
I didn’t want the hassle og signing up for apple tv so didn’t watch the game. I wonder how Vasquez looked compared to Brito. FB looks 95-96 and the cutter. Need one of these young pitchers to step up and Volpe to get hot to inject this team with some excitement. Can’t be asking Jusge to hit two bombs a night…..
WTF happened? Looks like full meltdown in the 7th
Not a surprise. Boone has little feel for the game.

I rebooted phone and still nothing. What a shitshow.
Anyone ever experience this?

Didn't have that issue but it was buffering like crazy in the late innings. Agreed. Complete shit show.
