A New York Yankees vs. the Boston Red Sox game is something that no fan wants to miss. After all,?theirs is a storied rivalry?that has spanned decades. While 1901 may have been the year the feud officially started, 2023 will be another one for the history books.
The Red Sox have faced their troubles this season, but many fans are fed up with the Yankees. In addition to the players, they’re especially furious with the front office. Aaron Boone, Hal Steinbrenner, and Brian Cashman have all come under fire recently. The team’s failure to perform well in their captain’s absence has incensed fans. While Aaron Judge recovers from a toe injury, the Bronx Bombers seem to be in a funk. Although their latest series against Boston broke new records, not necessarily the ones fans wanted to see.

The Boston Red Sox have not swept the New York Yankees since 2006
That’s right, the last time a sweep occurred against the Yankees by their archrivals was 17 years ago. The likes of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez were on the roster, whose ALCS defeat at the hands of Boston in 2004 was still fresh. The Bronx has changed significantly since then, although of course similarities remain. Brian Cashman is still the GM and the Steinbrenner family still owns the team, something that doesn’t make fans happy at all.
The first loss of the series at Fenway Park was still digestible to some. But the doubleheader loss on Sunday was just disappointing.
Time to fire brian cashman.

Pathetic performance. Too much talent to play this poorly. No excuses. This team didn’t show up.

One fan pointed out how the team looked without Judge on the lineup.
It's unreal how different team is without Judge

Why give Judge the big long term contract and waste seasons with pathetic offense Old injury prone and weak hitting line up that was not improved in the offseason instead we sign a pitcher with an injury history to a big long term deal. Hal either make changes or sell, please🙏

Although the Red Sox won, their manager wasn’t a big fan of the doubleheader on Sunday and gave a statement relating both the game and Father’s Day.
Alex Cora didn’t want to see Yankees vs Red Sox for Sunday Night Baseball
Sunday Night Baseball is a sacred tradition for many families. But Alex Cora thinks the same teams two weeks in a row would make anyone lose interest. This Sunday may have been the Yankees vs the Red Sox at Fenway Park, but the two teams also played each other last weekend at Yankee Stadium.

?Back-to-back Sunday night games? With all the respect to ESPN, come on,? Cora said. MLB is not composed of two teams and, however famous they may be, fans want to watch other franchises too, especially on Father’s Day. “Back-to-back weekends, you?re probably gonna do something else with your parents with your family, you know, because you just saw it last weekend,? said the Red Sox manager regarding the same.
The Yankees head home to play the Mariners next, while the Red Sox will host the Marlins.
