Aaron Boone doing ‘best he can' managing Yankees through latest spiral: Brian Cashman
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free ST. LOUIS — Brian Cashman often refers to Aaron Boone having to deal with 'slings and arrows' thrown at him. On Friday, the Yankees GM tossed some flowers his manager's way, at least for how he has handled the heat during the club's latest tailspin. 'The best he can,' Cashman said Friday afternoon at Busch Stadium. 'I don't know how any manager, let alone a manager in a big market like New York — I've told him many times how he does the pre and post-game [press conferences] and navigates that on a daily basis, that's not easy. Takes a talent in its own right to try to walk through that without losing your cool or getting emotional or what have you. He's stayed level-headed and even-keeled. He knows how tough this sport is. 3 Aaron Boone is pictured during the Yankees' Aug. 10 game against the Astros. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post 3 Brian Cashman is pictured Feb. 11. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 'He's invested in these guys heavily, as we all are. Trying to explain away a difficult play or a bad performance for a period of time, why the storm's upon us, it's not an easy task to navigate or deal with and remain cool, calm and collected. He's obviously done an amazing job of working through that.' Boone, who signed a two-year extension before this season began to take him through 2027, has often drawn the wrath of fans during the Yankees' two-plus-month skid that was at 29-37 entering Friday's series opener against the Cardinals. 3 Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman are pictured during the Yankees' October 2024 game.

Valkyries become WNBA's winningest expansion team ever after dominating Sky
CHICAGO – For all the history made in this inaugural Golden State Valkyries season, count Friday night's milestone as its most remarkable yet. With a 90-59 blowout over the Chicago Sky at Wintrust Arena, the Valkyries notched their 18th victory, passing the 1998 Detroit Shock for most wins by a WNBA expansion team. The 31-point victory was their largest of the season, and their 51.9% shooting percentage from 3-point range surpassed the season-high they set in Washington two nights before. With its first four-game winning streak, Golden State (18-15) edged above Indiana for sixth place, taking a half-game lead after the Fever fell to the Washington Mystics on Friday. It was another 3-point jamboree for the Valkyries, who made 27 shots and all but 13 were from behind the arc. The Valkyries went 22-for-25 from the free-throw line. Cecilia Zandalasini tallied a career-high 20 points, matching her total from two nights prior. Janelle Salaün finished with 15 points and had three 3-pointers in the first quarter alone. Iliana Rupert added 14 points on 4-for-4 3-point shooting off the bench. The Valkyries went 7-for-10 from 3-point range in the first quarter, carrying over from their previous season-best 3-point shooting night in Washington on Wednesday. Golden State led by as much as 12 in the first half but held on 42-40 heading into the half. The Valkyries quickly expanded their lead to 20 after taking 13 free throws in the third quarter alone. They finished the frame on a 25-5 run. Chicago (8-25) scored just 19 points in the second half. The Valkyries held the Sky to 28 paint points, a key in shutting down the post-heavy team. Chicago scored 52 points in the paint in its lone win of the 11-game post-All-Star break free-fall. In the Valkyries' narrow Aug. 1 victory at Chicago, the Sky nearly came back on their interior scoring. Golden State returns to Chase Center on Sunday against the Atlanta Dream to begin a two-game homestand and the final quarter of the season.

Brian Cashman defends Aaron Boone: ‘You've got to understand what the atmosphere is like'
ST. LOUIS — The New York Yankees entered Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals tied for the third-worst record since the trade deadline. Joining the club in St. Louis for his first road trip since believing the Yankees were a better team after overhauling the roster was general manager Brian Cashman. Advertisement The Yankees currently hold the third wild-card spot in the American League. Still, it's an underachievement for a club that manager Aaron Boone believes is his most talented squad since taking over for Joe Girardi in 2018. Cashman defended the job Boone has done this season, particularly with navigating the demands of speaking with the media. However, one area that has incensed the Yankees' fan base is whether Boone holds his players accountable. Boone did not bench Jazz Chisholm Jr. after his egregious baserunning blunder in Miami; Austin Wells was not benched after forgetting how many outs there were in the ninth inning of a tied game; and Jasson Domínguez wasn't removed earlier in the season for not knowing what the count was. 'One thing that people maybe really forget is that we play in a market that holds you — maybe Boston and Philly, too — that holds you more accountable automatically,' Cashman told The Athletic. 'The market already provides instant accountability. In many cases, today's world is so much different than maybe generations before. I think leaders, managers, coaches are more inclined to try to support and help players that are going through a lot as they try to navigate their struggles. Struggles are part of the game. It's just louder in a bigger market. 'I'm not an advocate of becoming Randy 'Macho Man' Savage or John Cena from WWE and providing a power drive to finish off the victim, the victim being someone struggling at the plate, struggling defensively, struggling on the mound. And now you're hearing it externally, and their family and friends are all hearing it. Then internally, now, they're getting piled on also. In many cases, you've got to understand what the atmosphere is like.' Cashman said players require more support in a market like New York. Mistakes can compound into a storm, and the only way to get through it is by better performance. Boone is lauded by the clubhouse, especially team captain Aaron Judge, for how he communicates with his players. It's a skill that Cashman believes isn't applauded enough publicly. Boone signed a two-year contract extension in the offseason, and the main reason why the Yankees' brass continues to believe he is the right person to manage is because of his people skills. 'I don't know how any manager, let alone a manager in a big market like New York, speaking of Aaron Boone, I've told him many times, how he does the pre- and postgame and navigates that on a daily basis, that's not easy. 'It takes a talent in its own right to try to walk through that without losing your cool or getting emotional. He has stayed level-headed and even-keeled. He knows how tough this sport is. He's invested in these guys heavily, as we all are. Trying to explain away a difficult play or a bad performance for a period of time while the storm is upon us is not an easy task to navigate or deal with and remain cool, calm and collected. He's obviously done an amazing job of working through that. Advertisement 'I know I couldn't do that. I probably would be creating more regretful comments along the way because from lack of sleep or getting provoked, it wouldn't take much. I think it takes a certain character and abilities to try to manage a group of 26 guys, especially in a big market, through difficult times.' Another area where the Yankees have been criticized by their fans is their seemingly laissez-faire attitude they express to the public when asked if there's much to be concerned about with their play. Cashman said he does not judge players by their soundbites but noted that it's something that gets 'judged radically out there.' Since it was revealed that Boone told the Yankees they were the best team in the league after getting swept in Toronto, New York has only fallen further in the standings. They were just a 1/2-game ahead of the Cleveland Guardians from being outside of the playoff picture entering Friday. 'We're the defending American League champs trying to re-defend that,' Cashman said. 'Obviously, right now, we're not in control of the division. Our first goal is try to win the American League East and automatically punch the ticket that way. If not, we'll be fighting to punch a ticket a different way. We have a lot of time on the clock, but not enough time at the same time. I don't want to misrepresent (that) there's not urgency, because there is.'\ Spot the pattern.
