    How dumb do you think he felt when he realized he just yelled at the captain like that?
    when I hear you guys call him that, I picture a plaque with "The Captain" over his bed :))
    Yeah, Jeets.

    Go look that up.

    I've always pictured him on the love boat with Gopher and Doc.

    This team stinks.

    Yes they do so far. They have to do something to wake Jeter up. Maybe drop him to 6th or 7th in the order. I hate that our team always signs guys either past their prime or at the end of it. We are too old. We won all those titles with young talent that was farm raised with a few older free agents. Now we just sign every old fart that has had a decent couple seasons. Frustrating.
    :)) I see Giambi is back. Maybe they'll make him an offer! lol
    I liked him a lot. Maybe he could be a player coach and they could sack Girardi too.
    What does firing Girardi do for anyone?
    I just don't like him. I think he gets too much credit when they play well, and not enough credit when they stink...lol.

    I also think Torre was pushed out because of him. He took a year off and waited for the job. I think they interviewed Mattingly just to make it look good but there had to be some back door cconversations going on. That's my conspiracy theory for the day.

    One thing that stands out in my mind is how many times he's left a lefty reliever on to face a righty late in the game and lost a lead when he had a righty up. I remember being furious multiple times when he did that with Coke and Logan the last few years.

    Funny thing is, one of the main things that Girardi gets credit for is his overall bullpen management and keeping players fresh. Torre used to destroy players careers.

    He has used Thorton way too much against righties this year, but that is not a fire-able offense in my mind.

    Definitely better than years past. Yeah Torre worked em like crazy. He does seem to send Betances out every day and he definitely leaves CC in way too long from the day he put on a yanks uniform. I don't know if that is the reason for his problems or if it's the crazy weight he lost but he isn't even close to an ace anymore.

    Yeah, Betances definitely goes back to back often. There are times he hasn't been available. Yeah, CC has a whole lot of innings on his arm. I dont think the weight loss has helped, but he has thrown a lot of innings, not just with the yankees. Thats what aces doe though, right?

  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,837
    CC has more innings on his arm than Halladay.

    Yeah a lot of innings for CC, but Girardi has left him in to give up 5 or 6 runs when he clearly doesn't have it many times. He isn't an ace anymore, but seems Girardi seems to still trust him to work through it, and he almost never does.

    How long will he leave Tanaka in today?

    104 pitches. ERA at 2.02. I really want that to get under 2. Fucking Tanaka is awesome

    They were just talking about old school managers like Torre running guys out there all the time. See Cliffy? We should apply for that job and yes, Tanaka is the man. The only real bright spot this far.

    HAHA, I love when that happens. Whenever I am watching a game and say something right before the announcer, I tell my wife I should have that job.

    Definitely the only bright spot. Betances too, he's been awesome.

    So this reliever the Yanks drafted could be in the big leagues this year. Pretty wild.

    They are gonna go crazy with international spending.
