MFYankees Season of Doom 2024

[metirish]

Yeah I only heard this call so I shouldn't judge ,I kinda admire his redemption story and fair play to him for turning his life around

[metirish]

Things are going well over there

(Channeling Fman)

There isn't a red hot sandpaper dildo big enough to f**K him with.

Michal Kay and John Flaherty get into an uncomfortable spat on the air.



Flaherty comes out with a passive aggressive knife attack, and Kay escalates.

[MFS62]

Key seems to be sensitive, bordering on touchy, about a lot of things.

[metirish]

Damn, that's gold, agree ,Kay seems very thin skinned and everything is a precieved slight with him

[Frayed Knot]

"Listen, John, I don't pick out my schedule, I go where I'm told" -- Boool-Shit!

Kay picks which road trips he'll skip just like Gary does (only Kay skips more of them). There might be some minor negotiation in deciding but no way is YES telling Kay, 'You're going on the Anaheim trip this year and that's final!!!!!'

I think Flaherty is their best color guy but he doesn't have the stature of O'Neill or Cone or (I lose track of how many dozen color guys they use these days) so it's logical that the less desirable trips are the ones that both Kay and one of seconds with more pull skip together.



It reminds me of when Francesa would claim that his show's producers were the ones who cut off callers, never him ... except that when the show was simulcast you could see him waving to the producers to cut the guy off.

This whole 'I'm no prima-donna / I just work here' stuff from both of those guys is comical.

[metirish]

No Stroman , some are saying they don't need him in a five game series

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Like he needs something to be pissed off about

[metirish]

MFYankees season of doom 2024 is complete 👌

[Frayed Knot]

Stroman never pitched an inning of post-season for the Yanx this year, even in those series when he was on the active roster.

[Frayed Knot]

A-a-ron Boone will manage the Yanx in 2025 ... at least to start the season.

After that it's all up for grabs.

[Edgy MD]

I guess Bob and Aaron are the most successful father and son managerial duo. The only alternatives that spring to mind are Buddy and David Bell and Felipe Alou and Luis Rojas.



I think the Sandys Alomar, Sr. and Jr., may have each had interim stints.

[Gwreck]

I recall reading once that Connie Mack's son stepped in to run the team several times when his dad was in his 70s. Not quite official though.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, once you add Earl Mack to the equation, it's no contest who the first family of MLB managers is.



Measuring managers by wins, and using Bill James' technique of measuring family impact, by doubling the contribution of the second-most prolific guy (and tripling and quadrupling, etc., any subsequent guys), nobody is even breathing the same air as Mack Daddy and Son.



In fact, 33 individual managers — as families of one — put more points on the board than the Boones. The Bells have the highest total reached by two figures in one family, for what that's worth.

[th]First Guy[/th]	[th]Wins[/th]	[th]Second Guy[/th]	[th]Wins[/th]	[th]Total Points[/th]
	Connie Mack		3,731		Earl Mack		45		3,821
	Aaron Boone		603		Bob Boone		371		1,345
	Buddy Bell		519		David Bell		409		1,337
	Felipe Alou		1,033		Luis Rojas		103		1,239

[G-Fafif]

Dave Sims takes over for John Sterling in the MFY radio booth.

[Fman99]

I hope he's got someone willing to hit foul balls off his face at home

[Frayed Knot]

Sims is a good p-b-p guy.

He's been out in Seattle for years doing M's games but I don't think he ever permanently relocated so not surprising that he leapt at the chance to get back east.

[metirish]

Sims is 71 , not that it means much

Banned from all baseball stadiums for life. Good! That's what shoulda happened and anything less woulda been an outrage.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

These two are punks and I have no problem banning them. But how is that enforced? What's to stop them from showing up at Wrigley or something for a random Cubs game?

If they do that and are caught, they probably run the risk of being convicted of a crime. That should be enough of a deterrent. What else are you gonna do? You can't chop their heads off. And they don't have to be caught in the moment. Somebody could rat them out after the fact, too.

[MFS62]

Lock them in a warm, humid room for a week and play a continuous loop of ESPN announcers doing a baseball game.

That would be sufficient punishment.
