I lost a good friend last year, who was a life long Tiger's season ticket holder. He and his buddies, could not stand Ausumus. I can see why, the guy looks like the deer in the dark night headlights.....

anyone but Ausumus....
 
Yankees interviewed Rob Thomson as per River Ave. Blues.

^^^Tote, that's exactly why I never understood why Girardi was labeled with the moniker "Binder Joe". The fact is that Joe did not use "the binder" as often as a lot of managers do. I understand the value of analytics/sabermetrics as being tools that a manager can use but they don't factor in everything. A big part of the friction between Girardi and Cashman was that Cashman did not think Joe relied on advanced stats enough to make on the field decisions.

...I found this in an article and I think it sums it up very well;


"As the Yankees rely more and more on analytics, Girardi said: “I believe numbers tell a story. But numbers tell the exact story every day. They tell the same story every time. Sometimes, you have to make adjustments.’’ "

What a great quote, and dead on correct.

The stats also tell you what you want to hear, definitely contribute to confirmation bias. Stats don't tell you when I guy has a nagging injury, or is feeling under the weather. Or if a player has a particular issue with seeing a certain pitcher or playing in a different park. Just too many variables that the metrics can't factor in.

...which is the reason I cannot stand to listen to Brian freaking Kenney.
 
Every time Girardi takes a dump he releases more Baseball Savy than Cashman could ever hope to have.

synchronistic timing, just told Kim yesterday morn when MLB came on, "see that fkr, (BK), I can't stand his lame ass". Ntm- the MLB crew threw a bone out on how Kenny s/b interviewed by Trashman, fkng ridiculous. I think BK can't tell the difference b/t his pie hole and asshole....
 
^^^not sure why, but that reminded of one of my favorite quotes;


"I have more talent in my smallest fart than you have in your entire body." – Walter Matthau on Barbra Streisand

Aaron Boone is a candidate for next Yankees Manager.
 
...you'd think that if Cashman already knew they were gonna let Joe walk, he should also have already a viable replacement...Cashman doesn't have a clue.

...the more I think about things the more I think that by not retaining Girardi, Cashman was simply trying to divert attention away from him being just as accountable.
 
Omar Vizquel is a possible Candidate..... I saw that on Twitter. :lol:
 
Larry Rothschild will return as The Yankees Pitching Coach as per Bryan Hoch.
 
Fuck Beltran, did not play as well as the Yankees paid him. Heard him say in an interview while a Yankee that Terry Collings was the best manager he'd played for. I do find it somewhat ironic that Beltran and McCann neither one lived up to their Yankee Contracts IMO. Then both end up on team that wins the series. And I'm in agreement with Cashman being totally unprepared for a managerial choice if he knew he were letting Girardi go. But what can we expect from one who tried to get Chipper Jones to play 3rd after he'd retired and got all of those luminaries like Overbay, Wells, Hafner & Roberts. The chickens are coming home to rest, Girardi will be missed by many who knocked him at every opportunity.
