Craig Carton had the Carton and Roberts crew all worked up on Friday afternoon.
All it took was a simple declaration from Craig that Aaron Boone is the best manager in baseball.
“I don’t think there’s a better manager in baseball than Aaron Boone,” Craig said. “Did they lose to the Astros because the Astros were a better team, or because he was out-managed by Dusty Baker?
“You’re gonna replace Boone, and what’s the result gonna be? Is it gonna be any different, honestly.”
Evan and C-Mac couldn’t believe their ears.
“Craig, there’s a better manager in this city,” Evan said, referencing Buck Showalter. “Bruce Bochy is the most accomplished manager in baseball. Terry Francona can challenge him a little bit, it’s very close. But they’re both Hall of Famers, and Aaron Boone needs a ticket to get into the Hall of Fame, and I say that with all due respect.”
Craig’s response to the Francona argument?
“The guy that Aaron Boone out-managed in the playoffs?”
Of course, Francona has a wealth of managerial success prior to the 2022 ALDS, while Boone is still trying to get past the ALCS. It’s safe to say many Yankee fans would react in a similar level of disbelief as Evan and C-Mac did to Craig’s hot take.
