@BryanHoch Question for Boone: Why wasn't Slater put in RF last night in the 9th? He has more experience than Caballero (who made a costly error when ball got past him).
@BryanHoch I blame the new relievers meltdown last night on the trade deadline travel chaos and rush to get to New team. And then to meet with new pitching coach, bullpen coach, and Boone. Alot to process in short period of time.
@FourSavages Boone was hired for his experience as a broadcaster and ability to deal with the media. Managing is his 2nd skill. The pitching decisions are Blake's responsibility and the lineups are simply matchups (Lefty vs Righty and Righty vs Lefty) with some analytics thrown in.
@kc_keyz Time for him to go. I've held out commenting a long time but I don't see him improving. Trade him while he still has some value. Peraza rest of this year then Lombard Jr in 2026.
