Clint Frazier once again made social media noise by criticizing the Yankees.
The former Yankee outfielder and hyped prospect called out his former manager Aaron Boone after a video was posted on X showing the skipper at Chapel Hill to take in Bill Belichick’s anticipated head coaching debut with UNC.
The clip showed Boone emerging from the tunnel and walking onto the field, and Frazier took aim at Boone attending the game before his Yankees begin a pivotal stretch of games against top AL teams, even if Boone was using an off day to visit his son, a student assistant on the Tar Heels staff.
“Biggest two-week stretch of the season and this dude is at a football game with his hoodie tied around his waist,” Frazier posted, adding a crying face emoji at the end.
Frazier has been often critical of the Yankees organization as a whole since concussions and struggles at the plate led to his early exit from the big leagues. He recently started a podcast where he often gives his thoughts on the Yankee culture, and he has not been shy giving his thoughts on how the franchise is run in the Boone era.
As for Boone’s attendance at the UNC game Monday night, 24 hours before the Yanks begin a big series against the Astros in Houston, Frazier didn’t think the optics were good given what’s at stake for the Bombers in the coming weeks, including series against the Red Sox and Blue Jays, with the division potentially on the line.
Many fans argued that supporting your son on an off day is hardly a big deal, especially when it would be easy to hop back on a flight to return to Houston in plenty of time to focus in on the upcoming series, but Frazier doubled down.
“It’s about knowing you have one month left in the season and it’s time to lock in and not let anything other than what’s happening on the field be any sort of distraction from what the goal is,” Frazier added on X. “To win a World Series.”
