Boone is Cashman\u2019s shadow a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time the video posted, the Yankees were the No. 3 wild card in the AL, but they have won four straight games and hopped both the Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox to take over the No. 1 wild card position.<\/p>\n<p>So even though he was critical Boone, Frazier backed Cashman for his efforts in helping the team improve, especially at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCashman\u2019s my guy,\u201d Frazier said. \u201cWe had many times we hung out. \u2026 We did, on a personal level, we got along, but I\u2019m not being overly critical of him. I\u2019m just saying, given the circumstances, of him supporting Boone, he is the guy you put there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What Did Clint Frazier Say About Aaron Boone?<\/h2>\n<p>Though he called Boone \u201creally good,\u201d Frazier threw some extra shade at the now-seventh-year Yankees manager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou kind of get to the point where some of the moves that he\u2019s making in the middle of the game are like statement moves, where it\u2019s like \u2018we\u2019re trying to show you we\u2019re right,&#8217;\u201d Frazier said. \u201cIt becomes a blatant thing to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boone is one of the few managers in Yankees history to survive despite midseason malaises, since New York are 32-35 since June 1 and have fallen out of first place in the AL East. Frazier feels that lull is caused by Boone\u2019s ability to make good managerial decisions, which could also become an issue in October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need to make sure that you aren\u2019t walking into it with bad decisions, because these are\u00a0 the decisions they\u2019ll be doing in the playoffs,\u201d Frazier said. \u201cThey\u2019re going to be way more under the microscope in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to make sure that you\u2019re buttoned up and ready to go. If you start firing from the hip, it becomes a mockery of what every guy is trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pat Pickens is an experienced sports writer and media personality who has written for outlets like NHL.com, the Associated Press, the New York Times and USA Today.
