Yankees immediately demoting top prospect after promotion is absolute idiocy
What's even the point?

Nothing was more fitting than the Yankees blowing an opportunity to sweep the Orioles on Sunday with two inexplicable errors and another shaky Clay Holmes performance. From a "players on the field" standpoint, that's characterized the first half, even though the Yankees got off to a 50-22 start. Yes, they are now 58-40 — 8-18 in their last 26 games.
But from a player transaction perspective, the Yankees are at it again, making wasteful and pointless roster moves that continue to hinder the team's progress. We can go as far back as the employment of Dennis Santana, which went on a month too long and extinguished Ron Marinaccio's progress and development.
This past Friday, it was more of the same. The Yankees called up top prospect Jorbit Vivas after placing JD Davis on the injured list. Wow, what a move! The Yankees need infield help and depth for the second half, so let's see what the kid can do!
Or ... not? Vivas spent the entire weekend with the team, didn't log a wink of playing time, and was demoted back to Triple-A after Sunday's finale to further worsen the vibes after the 6-5 collapse.
Welcome to the majors. Now go sit on the bench.
Yanks play the Mets next week at home on 07/23-24. Mets beat the Yanks twice in June in Queens which makes these two games must wins for Boone in my opinion.
His excuses are getting old.

Phillies, Cleveland, Orioles and Yanks.
Orioles at Cleveland for 4 starting 08/01 should separate those 2.
Unless the Yanks do something earth shattering at the deadline I don't see them contending. Jeter has got it right.

Yankees #1 pick in the draft.
This past season, Hess posted a 5.80 ERA in 15 starts, pitching 68.1 innings, striking out an impressive 106 batters. His struggles revolved around his poor control, as he walked 35 batters this past year. The shaky control is not an issue that Hess has had in previous seasons.

As the second half begins, Aaron Boone’s future hangs in the balance
For the Yankees manager to keep his job, he will likely need to find solutions to the Yankees’ growing problems.

https://www.pinstripealley.com/2024/7/17/24200065/aaron-boone-yankees-manager-expectations-future
In December 2017, Aaron Boone was officially announced as the 33rd manager in Yankees franchise history. During his introductory press conference, he stated, “I understand what I signed up for, I understand what the expectations are. I hope those expectations are ramped up each and every year. That’s part of it. That’s certainly a part of being here.”
Now in his seventh season, those same expectations hang over the head of a manager yet to fulfill what he was brought here to do: win a World Series.
For Boone, his hope for ramped-up expectations has come true, but for all the wrong reasons. The Yankees have not won a game past the divisional round of the postseason since 2019 and have no pennants to show for under Boone’s leadership. His future as the Yankees manager will now likely come down to 64 games, a fraction of a season to finish out 2024.
Boone is in the final guaranteed year of his contract, with the Yankees still holding a club option for 2025. That’s an easy exit for the organization if things do not go well, so as much as Cashman supports him, Boone feels like the low-hanging fruit if this team does not find its groove again.
Coming off a 2023 campaign in which the Yankees posted their worst record in 31 years en route to missing the playoffs, any lapse this season would be met with scrutiny. After a hot start, the Yankees have played below-.500 baseball in June and July, raising concerns about the roster and the man set to lead them — especially since 2022 featured at least a similar script. I am cautious about how much stock to put into a manager’s impact at this level when a team is underperforming. Still, the numerous mental blunders on the basepaths and in the field leave the door open to question the manager’s ability to have his team ready to play, fair or not.
Maybe the line is hard to define, but at some point, the blame has to fall somewhere. That is why this post-All-Star break becomes so critical for Boone. It is easy to picture the Yankees losing the AL East and faltering in October based on the flaws that continue to present themselves daily with this club. If that happens, It is likely the end for Boone as the manager of the Yankees.
You may be thinking, well why not general manager Brian Cashman too? He’s the one who handed Boone this flawed roster. Well, Cashman’s contract running through 2026 indicates that he is likely not going anywhere, and owner Hal Steinbrenner has remained loyal to him despite the Yankee’s struggles. Cashman being signed could help or hurt Boone’s situation depending on how you look at it. For starters, Boone might be an easier target for the front office to push the blame away on someone whose contract is ending, but it is clear that Cashman believes in Boone. Is that relationship enough to keep the Yankees manager around for another season even if the Yankees fail again in the postseason?
But what if they turn it around and go on to win the AL East? I think a division title muddies the water on Boone’s future. An AL East crown alone is likely enough for him to keep his job, even if the postseason does not go well, as playoff success hasn’t exactly hindered Boone and Cashman’s ability to get new contracts. It comes down to what the Yankees value and continuity seems to trump other flaws, as long as people within the organization (Boone and Cashman) perform at a level good enough in the regular season to cover up their lack of postseason success. Hal tends to stick with his guys, but likely to a fault.
So here is where the Yankees stand, currently out of first place and looking to turn around what has been a dreadful month plus of baseball. Seven years ago, Boone stated that he understood what he signed up for, and that understanding is about to come full circle. If he can’t turn this team around post All-Star break then his failure to meet those New York expectations will end his time as Yankee manager. Sixty-four games will decide his future.

Thanks
As I said in the beginning people need to calm down and wait for the investigation to be complete. Everyone claims they are an expert on what happened.
On a scale of 1-10 I could care less.

Keeping mum about the Secret Service's failure,
You did. Do you read your posts?
Do you read box scores? Cousins era is 1.46. He threw 8 pitches in the 8th. Simple math let him start the 9th.
I've lost track how many times the BP has been misused.
Torres I know you like picking on him but he didn't mess up in the 9th.
Watch the replay. Even if Volpe makes the play Torres was off the bag.
Hey as long as they keep losing Hal will wake up and make some changes. I doubt either team will win the WS.
Boone needs to learn to take it to the clubhouse.
Yankees' Manager Breaks Silence on Star Slugger's Struggles

Nothing like calling out your LFer during the All-Star break.
Post to the right person. It wasn't him.

Janice has a new SME to add to her resume.
Who said the Secret Service failed?
When that happens, it never gets talked about by the people who need to talk about it.
Please did you designate yourself as one of those people?
Even in after hours this discussion is a bridge too far.
As I posted the FTC is starting to take notice of the PBMs.
I have little interest in Trump or his RNC convention. But I am reminded of the Red Badge of Courage.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Badge_of_Courage
I watched the HR Derby and tonight I'll watch the All-Star game.
Trump holds a lot of DJT stock but he is currently locked out. It will be interesting to see what happens to the PPS when he can start selling.
VWNAX just cruising right along. The market has figured out FOMC needs to cut rates.

Volpe and Torres lost the game.
Once again you can't see the obvious. And that is pathetic since you didn't answer the question. And you didn't answer the question when I asked why they signed Donaldson, and you didn't answer the question, or why they sent Marrinaccio down, or why I suggested Judge get his foot out of the bucket and close up his stance.
You have been a defender of Cashman, Boone and Blake for way too long when to the casual observer the team is under performing. But I am no casual observer and have followed the team probably before you were even born.
I'm not Monday morning QBing any thing since I actually watch the games. Do you know how to read a box score? Cousins threw 8 pitches. Now go back and ask your HS coach why he didn't come out for the ninth.
And why is Marinaccio still in Triple A.
Actually he played both corner positions for the Red Sox in their Little League ball park.
Cousins should have started the 9th. Ask your genius Blake why he didn't.
Holmes did not lose the game even though he put runners on base. Cousins threw 8 pitches in the 8th and Boone and Blake true to form brought out Holmes in the 9th. Why?
Ask those 2 geniuses. Blake has proven time and again he is clueless in managing the pitchers which is why the pitchers turn to Cole for advice.
And some should ask, besides me, why Boone and Blake sent Marinaccio down.
Brewers should still win the division. The problem is the Phillies who I think are the team to beat this year over all.
In the AL not sure the Yankees can win it all the way they are being managed. The Orioles are slumping right now and Cleveland looks like they are the team to beat.
Boone started him at leadoff hoping a couple of extra ABs would help him. What you missed was his defense when he was in the lineup.
Now you want Rodon out of the rotation? Good grief. He didn't lose the game yesterday. That was all Volpe, Torres and Verdugo.
Someone forgot to tell Verdugo he wasn't playing LF at Fenway.
