Does Joe ever not manage by his formula? That was his reason for taking C.C. out when he did. C.C. was dealing and pretty much had the Indian hitters in knots. No he had to go to his bullpen when it wasnt necessary. Another case of Joe over managing when it wasnt needed. This loss is on Joe.
They lost game 1 because Bauer completely baffled Yankees hitters.
It's completely fair to rip Girardi for not challenging the HBP which would have ended the inning
But Girardi didn't throw a hanging breaking ball to Lindor with the bars loaded. Girardi didn't get picked off at second base after a gift airmail with no outs.
At worst, Girardi made decisions which contributed to the series not being 1-1.
For all these so-called baseball fans who claim to watch so much baseball, it's incredible how quickly people forget how baseball works.

"It's very possible..."? Wow, Francesa must have some solid inside info with a bold statement like that!
Yeah, I know. Wasn't meant to be anything towards you. Just the tweet itself. Hell all of us on BBI are saying that it's very possible he won't be back.

Gotcha. This sucks. I like Joe. But what he did last night can't be defended...at all.

I like Joe too and think he's overall done a good job. But some of the things he's done this season are indefensible. I honestly think we will see a "mutual" parting of ways after the season. Joe has looked completely spent at times this season and he is a big family guy. I think he will want to step away for a year or two and the team will agree that it's the best time to do it.

No. Not at all. We'd be killing the ump for making the wrong call in the first place.

Of course not. It's the fact that he didn't even try knowing there was ZERO downside to challenging.
Also, in case you just awoke from a coma and haven't seen the replays, there absolutely WAS conclusive evidence that the ball hit the knob and not the batter. Why are people still pretending this evidence doesn't exist? It was clear as day people!

what if Girardi did challenge it (no question that he SHOULD HAVE tried) and it was inconclusive..which it was so close..that that's the likely what they'd had ruled..would Girardi be getting much heat now or not or doesn't matter?
