Raged Brandon Tierney Rips Yankees Hal Steinbrenner’s Leadership: “Can’t shine his dad’s shoes”
The New York Yankees’ present situation has made supporters feel like their dissatisfaction with the team is legitimate. The Yankees’ management was the target of announcer Brandon Tierney’s rage in a recent radio interview, specifically mentioning Brian Cashman, Aaron Boone, and Hal Steinbrenner.
Raged Brandon Tierney Rips Yankees Hal Steinbrenner’s Leadership: “Can’t shine his dad’s shoes”
Aaron Judge and company are now at the bottom of the AL East with a 15-15 record. Even though the team easily won their 20th franchise division title last season, it currently appears unlikely that they will even be able to make a Wild Card appearance.

Although there is obvious discontent among fans in general, a well-known New York Yankees radio host went further when he spoke to his audience on Monday.

Speaking on his WFAN program, presenter Brandon Tierney specifically targeted the top echelons of the company. Tierney’s impassioned criticism was directed at club owner Hal Steinbrenner, who succeeded his father George as team owner in 2008.
“It is a reminder that Hal can’t shine his dad shoes. And George Steinbrenner did a lot wrong but I can tell you this if George was owner of the Yankees, he would be firing Cashman, his son would be fired and Aaron Boone would be fired.” On the WFAN Sports Radio Show, Tierney said.
George Steinbrenner would have fired Brian Cashman years ago. It’s too bad the @Yankees don’t care about winning championships like they used to… #RepBX pic.twitter.com/EzfnICa99r

Tierney expressed his annoyance that the owners were powerless to discipline GM Brian Cashman. He said that things may have been quite different for a club with a $300 million yearly salary if George Steinbrenner had been in his son’s place.
“The Yankees run difference right now is plus two. Plus Two! With a payroll of three hundred million dollars. Now I can’t for my own health and for my own sanity, I can’t scream about this everyday for the rest of the year, but it needs to be said, the fact that Brian Cashman got a full year extension is a joke! It is an absolute joke.”
A Homerun problem? Germán kept the ball on the ground all game and you believe he would give up a fucking homerun? This is the worst manager I’ve seen in all of sports. Boone always has to ruin amazing pitching performances. #FireBoone #YankeesTwitter https://t.co/zrw5yuVhCW

After the Yankees’ humbling 15-2 loss to the Texas Rangers on April 30, the radio broadcaster lambasted the team’s ownership. New York currently has a run differential of +1, having given up 117 runs while scoring 118. Last year, the team’s spread was almost +300.
Yes, Gary!!! And, at the very least, Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman, should be addressing the media and releasing statements regarding the state of this current #Yankees team and losing; bad play on the field and at-bat; the way too many injuries; analytics process and Boone! pic.twitter.com/4kP2bcQoke

Outfielder Aaron Hicks was one of the main targets of Tiernan’s rant.

“As much as I am tired of talking about Aaron freaking Hicks, who’s still on this team, for some maddening reason, you are not the New York Yankees when you trot that BUM out on the field every day,” Tierney said.
Just a latest example of the Yankees poor spending:
They are paying IKF 6 M
IKF is hitting .189 AVG, .232 OBP, .421 OPSMatt Carpenter is receiving 6.5 M
Carps is hitting .255 AVG, .377 OBP, .904 OPSBrian Cashman spends, BUT HE SPENDS INCORRECTLY pic.twitter.com/DLiqKmbbV7

“He plays. He stinks! There’s no recourse! The Yankees aren’t earning their at-bats! They’re playing no matter what they do! It’s an embarrassment what the Yankees are.”
