I'm not surprised. There seemed to be something just not right there even during the regular season.
 
If they stay inside the organization triple A manager Al Pedrique may be the guy. Outside the organization there will be a line around the block interested in interviewing for this job. Probably impossible but would love to see either Buck or Donnie baseball return who were both good with young kids when with yankee organization.

Buck.

Me too but can't see angelos letting him go to the yankees without some compensation that is too high. With new ownership in miami Mattingly might be available and is still a big fan favorite and was good with the young kids when he was here.
 
Just heard they are going outside the Organization.
 
For those who wanted Girardi gone I guess they got their pound of flesh. As for myself I really hoped he'd be back to guide this team to 28. Joe did some shit that I did not understand but he damn sure knew his team better than anyone. I liked Joe as a player, liked him as a manager. Whomever made the decision not to bring him back, will get theirs someday. So who ya gonna call, to me there ain't much choice among the recently fired. Fuck you Yankee Brass for a real shit move!
 
...Girardi has a history of grooming and working very well with youngsters, which IMO, is part of the reason why the Yanx did as well as they did this year.

...and unless they can somehow bring Showalter aboard, just about any other replacement would be a downgrade.


...and a Big FU to Cashman.

...it was Cashman...he recommended to the Steins not to bring Joe back.

...Cashman needs to go back to what he does best, which is skydiving and chasing hookers.
 
I do not call him Trashman for nothing!
 
I wonder if Michael Kay will have Girardi on his Show today, could be interesting.

I was unaware of his skydiving hobby. I'd love to go jumping with him, ensure his chutes are not functional.... or cut his pack off his back on the way down....

Just heard no on Mattingly.
 
...upon reflecting a little more on Girardi, though I don't believe was the best thing for the Yanx going forward, I do however believe it was probably the best thing for Girardi.

1. In retrospect, I think the guy is simply worn out (sure looked and acted like it recently) on having to deal with NY, the press, the fans, and Cashman. (they clearly did not see eye to eye on a few things)...funny how Joe gets the blame yet Cashman gets a pass.

2. He does not have to take another job right away. He can now spend time with his family, recharge his batteries and if he decides to get back into it, he can make that decision if/when the time and offer is right for him. I know he's from the Chicago area and always wanted to manage the Cubs so maybe he'll get his chance or maybe with the White Sox, who knows.

3. Still gotta believe that a year from now the Yanx and some of the fans will wish they still had Joe to kick around. As a player, Joe not only played with a passion but also with quiet and unassuming class and he coached the same way. And considering the shit he had to deal with and some of the rosters he was given, I think he did a very good job.




...enjoys your time off, Joe...you've earned it.
 
Yankee management wants a different puppet. But this move says a whole lot about
Yankee management...........they are guileless, pathetic and downright full of shit.
I’m just wondering how many backstabbers were planted near the team. Must be a
deplorable atmosphere for anyone to do the job!

I wish Girardi the best in his baseball endeavors. Yankee management really fucked up........
but that’s what power mongers tend to do.

^^^This...I agree completely.
 
We all had the same reaction in 95 when buck was shown the door unceremoniously and we got "clueless joe" which worked out ok. Lets see who is named the manager first. I think 10 years is a long time to manage in 1 place and this particular place has more pressure than others. Joe seemed to be worn out during season, looked very thin and broke down emotionally during at least 3 press conferences this post season that I can remember. I think Joe will wind up on his feet in a good job like washington.
 
Personally I think the decision was made last off season to run out his clock. 28 would have been the only chance to extend.

I’m a little surprised by all the Girardi love given the years of negative posts aimed at him ( here and many places) but than a surprise season will do that.

As for Buck, I recall major criticisms of his devotion to process and dogma and not ever letting kids be kids on an occasion or from time to time. The hardass routine wasn’t needed by the Core4.

As for next manager, maybe another former catcher, Jorge Posada. He could really help Sanchez with his plate defense, lol!

I never thought of that........Interesting.
 
Whoever it is it seems will be devoted to the analytics and basically a managerial robot that gets along with the players.
