Rich is unfortunately leaving out crucial context. That "attitude" from George Steinbrenner didn't cause the Yankees to start winning. They continued to be a garbage team until Steinbrenner was banned from participating in the day-to-day management of the Yankees in 1990 because of his conduct toward Dave Winfield. It was only after he was banned and out of the way that Yankees GM Gene Michael gained the freedom to start building a winning team. By the time George was reinstated in 1993, the Yankees had begun posting winning records again.

Well said

It's a shame Hal will never hear this...

Yes, certainly there is an injury problem. But this team's problems are deeper than that. They have a bad baseball problem. They don't play the game right. Aside from an occasional stolen base by IKF, it's nothing but wait for a home run. That will always be bad baseball, and especially in the post-season.

To be fair Rizzo, DJ and Stanton have to do their part consistently for this team to be decent and none of them have. (Rizzo really only when Judge has also been playing ). Nobody is stepping up and offensive approach overall is old tired and flawed (hole run or bust). Hal and brass are misguided in their signings, team construction and philosophy of play. So only a sea change will work to awaken this team to improve.

Couldn't agree more Rich.

I heard the whole interview it’s clear Hal is satisfied with the results he doesn’t care you can clearly hear it in his voice no passion for winning, nothing like his dad! Fans need to stop supporting them until he is forced to make changes or sell the team!

The advice is simple, fire Cashman.

George Steinbrenner and the "new" DH rule was the reason I became a Yankee fan. Born in Brooklyn, I was literally in the middle of National League hell. Between the Mets fans and living less than a mile from the site of the old Ebbets Field, you did not wear pinstripes in my neighborhood. I didn't care. George brought the fire and the passion and the desire to win which, as a nine-year-old, was exciting to me. 50 years later, the Yankees are still my heart, but since George's passing, I can't watch baseball any more. When he surrendered control to his sons, everything changed. George was a fan. Hal is a CEO. That's the big reason for the drought.

Like it or not these are words of Wisdom.

George was a Purdue Boilermaker, can Rich accept that ?

He described the typical Yankee offense perfectly: Succeed in hitting a bunch of homeruns - win some games. But in between, absolutely *feeble* offensive displays that often result in just 3 or 4 hits the whole night. I've been a Yankee fan my whole life; but now it's gotten to the point that I'm genuinely not enjoying watching or listening to them anymore. Their style of hitting - taking big homerun swings *all the time* - is boring to infuriating to me.

“ THIS TEAM NEEDS AN ENEMA”

Yanks problems begin with their overrated GM. He gets a new deal because we are contenders every year. Contenders for the playoffs maybe. But with a 260 million plus payroll you should win. He signs and trades for injured players. Tampa GM gets 100 million yet they whup our butts regularly. They keep their young players stuck in the minors. Why is Florial stuck in the minors. Giradi got canned because he couldn’t get us a Championship but Cashmans still here. 13 yrs later.

Preach, Rich.

Eisen for Yankees GM!!!

The non stop excuses for this team...just shameful😔

Rich is 100% right.

As a Yankee fan I am so fed up with Hal. I don’t see the Yankees being what they were unless he’s gone/wakes up from how mid he runs this team. The organization needs a shake up.

Vince Lombardi was correct. Winning is the only thing. Mr. Lombardi hated losing. No one ever said we're number two.

Remember when Yankees were up 3 games to 0 going into the 9th. Do I have to go any further.

Hal DOESNT care about WINNING its ALL about making money. That’s why this roster is populated with a struggling rookie and a washed up third baseman. Thirteen YEARS of loosing doesn’t bother him that’s why Cash is his GM

Rich expressing how Yankee fans are feeling. Maybe if he called Hal and played that tape of his Father he would not be so confused why fans are upset. Cashman would not have been allowed to keep making the bad decisions he has made if George were still around.

Revisionist history. In between The Bronx Zoo era and the Torre era, there was a full decade of futility where this team missed the playoffs each year, where the fans, players, press and employees couldn't stand George, where George was banned from baseball. No, you don't want to go back to that.

What's a championship? Is it a pennant, because they didn't win a World Series in the 80s.

The organization needs to be torn down from at absolutely every level. I honestly don’t believe an owner can be engaged with a team at all, and not be absolutely livid at the tens of millions of dollars in salary that the Yankees have wasted in recent years.

A 54 yo Yankee fan, who has experienced 7 WS Championships and 9 games lost in the course of those 7 championships including 1 back-to-back and 1 three-peat is ranting about what now? Respectfully, I don't accept your outrage or George Steinbrenner being a good role model. He was an A-hole in the 90s and the Yankees were trash in the 80s. Yankee fan being a Yankee fan.

5:16 - "They just finished the first decade in the history of their team without winning a championship." Not true, the Yankees didn't win one in the 1980s. But, they did at least win a pennant that year (1981).

George was an egomaniac who only knew how to solve problems by throwing money at them, and it started with the historical signing of Reggie Jackson. And Rich knows this.

It's good the Yankees are out of it. Great for baseball when the most boring, overhyped, overly talked about teams like the Yankees and Red Sox are irrelevant so we can talk about actually good players and the success of other teams. If you guys are gonna talk about baseball, talk about all the fun teams that aren't in NY or Boston that are killing it, like the Reds, Diamondbacks, Orioles, Rays, Giants, Rangers, or Braves. Those stories are a million times more interesting than flogging the same ESPN style garbage about the Yanks and the Sox.

Rich, you're being a combination of disingenuous and revisionist. You know damn good and well that George Steinbrenner, revered as he is for being such a strident advocate for winning at all costs (and a color character at BEST, and a dirty, convicted crook at worst, wouldn't fly in today's MLB. They'd run him outta the league if he pulled that stuff today. Not to mention, the scales of the balance of power in professional sports have tipped. Let's just accept it: the era of pinstripe domination is over. Jeter, Petite, Posada, Bernie Williams, Boomer Wells, Roger Clemens, those guys ain't walking through that door. Competitive balance is good for baseball. I love that the small market teams can hang with the big spenders. Buying championships ain't the way anymore. And I say ALL this as a Bronx born and raised.

Michael Kay can't say what others are thinking because he's a yankees YES man. Or boy rather.
